Introduction
Welcome to ºÚÁÏÍø! We're thrilled to welcome you to our vibrant campus in the heart of Las Vegas. To ensure a smooth transition, we've designed comprehensive pre-arrival and arrival programs packed with essential information, helpful resources, and exciting opportunities to connect with our community. Get ready to embark on an incredible academic journey with the support of ºÚÁÏÍø Global and your fellow Rebels!
Pre-Arrival and Arrival Programs
We can't wait to welcome you to ºÚÁÏÍø! Before you arrive in Las Vegas, watch for an email with important arrival details. You’ll complete a short survey about your transportation and housing needs. To help you settle in, we'll provide an voucher to take you from the airport to your new home.
We encourage all incoming international students to arrive before the first week of fall classes so they can join Rebel Ready Week — a fun, informative week full of events to help everyone settle in and explore campus life. ºÚÁÏÍø Global will also host a special welcome event with important international compliance information and opportunities to connect with fellow international students. It’s the perfect way to build your community and feel at home before the semester begins.
International Student Handbook
The International Student Handbook, created by ºÚÁÏÍø Global, will help you feel prepared, supported, and ready to make the most of your experience. You'll find practical tips and helpful resources to guide you through every step of your journey, from arrival to graduation. This includes information on how to:
- Prepare for your move to Las Vegas
- Get from the airport to your housing
- Set up a phone, bank account, and utilities
- Apply for a Social Security Number and driver's license
- Understand work options and campus employment
- Access healthcare and stay safe on and off campus
- Connect with academic support and student life
- Explore Las Vegas and find food from home
