Rebel Ready Week

We encourage parents and families to join us during Rebel Ready Week for Family Day each August. The event is free and registration is required.

Programming includes attending a college welcome with your student, a family lunch with UNLV campus leaders, and family-specific programming about student success. Other sessions cover the first-year experience, financial aid, and philanthropy and alumni engagement. You'll meet back up with your student for a send-off at the end of the day.

Home Away From Home

Whether your student lives on campus or commutes, UNLV becomes their home away from home, and provides independence with a built-in support system.

Academic Resources and Support

We know your student will be working hard at UNLV, but even the best students need help sometimes. We are here to assist them every step of the way — from day one until graduation.

School Spirit and Traditions

Whether  kicking off the school year with Premier UNLV or fighting  for the right to paint the Fremont Cannon, our Rebel pride shines through. Come to campus to experience these traditions with your student. We can’t wait to meet you!
