Disability Resource Center Accommodation

Students whose disability requires them to have housing and/or meal plan accommodations should register with the Disability Resource Center. Accommodations will be made whenever possible; however, there is no guarantee that the university will be able to meet every accommodation request since existing facilities may not support the accommodation.

FERPA

Do you want to know more about how your student is doing at UNLV? Need information about his or her housing account balances? Housing & Residential Life encourages students to keep in touch with their families and friends while they experience living independently.

Due to the Family Education Rights to Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, UNLV cannot disclose student records to anyone without the student's permission, including parents and legal guardians. The student must complete a FERPA release through their MyUNLV account and/or their Housing Portal to give someone other than the student permission to discuss the student's account with Housing & Residential Life. The information provided on the Housing Portal is for Housing & Residential Life use only. We strongly recommend adding FERPA release information to your MyUNLV account in addition to the Housing Portal. 

This will allow a third party to obtain information only. All decisions about meal plans, contract changes, or other special requests must still be communicated directly by the student to Housing & Residential Life. All Housing & Residential Life account statements and other correspondence will be emailed to the student's RebelMail account.
