Focused on Student Success
Student Support
We know that it’s difficult to focus on your studies if you have more pressing basic needs. UNLV provides a variety of services that support students with issues such as food, housing, or transportation insecurity, child care, medical and mental health needs, and digital/technology access.
The Division of Student Affairs actively engages students through activities, events, and programs that give them specialized attention to academically and personally succeed during their time at UNLV. If you are just discovering UNLV and our division, catch a glimpse of what we do to support students through The Dr. William W. Sullivan Center for Academic Enrichment and Outreach, Student Life, Student Wellness, the UNLV Bookstore and Dining Services.
Club activities, recreation, and community service build character and transform students into leaders. Our programs and services further create a diverse, equitable, and empowering campus experience for students to improve themselves, their community, and the world.
As a university that thrives on providing a diverse, equitable, and accessible environment, our campus engages in groundbreaking research, scholarship, professional, and creative endeavors that have an impact and cross boundaries. We also offer top-notch, cutting-edge physical and mental health care to benefit our community.

We may be young, but we are mighty, and we have established many traditions in our short history. Whether kicking off the school year with Premier UNLV, fighting for the right to paint the Fremont Cannon, or celebrating our diverse cultures, our Rebel pride shines through.
