Activate Your Rebelmail

Follow the online steps to activate your Rebelmail. You will need to use your Rebelmail account to access the OISS Portal and submit your documents for your I-20. Using your Rebelmail account is mandatory, as it is the university’s official means of communicating with you. Your Rebelmail account includes the G Suite, giving you access to Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, and unlimited storage on the Drive.

Activate Your ACE Account

Your ACE account allows you to log in to campus applications, including the OISS Portal, with one username and password. You’ll receive an email to your personal email account with instructions on how to set up your ACE account.

Submit Financial Certification and Bank Letter

Complete the Confidential Financial Certification Form and Bank Letter and submit to the Office of Admissions.

Bank letters cannot be older than six months from the start of the program, must be signed or stamped by the bank, and must be from an account with readily available funds. Submit this as soon as possible to expedite the processing of your Form I-20. The priority deadline to submit these is six weeks prior to the program start date listed on the Form I-20.

  • Students Already Studying in the U.S.: Notify your current school of your intent to transfer to UNLV by showing a copy of your acceptance letter.
  • Students Outside of the U.S.: Pay the SEVIS fee online and schedule your visa interview after you receive the Form I-20.

Complete the International Student Check-In Process

After arriving on campus, all new admitted international students must complete the check-in process with the International Student and Scholar Services. You must report to the International Student and Scholar Services by your program start date to maintain lawful F-1 status.
