The Grad Rebel Gateway now includes current student data which opens up a number of options and possibilities to us. For one, it has allowed us to make our student forms electronic. As most of you know, students now complete their forms online, which then automatically route to the required signatories. We have a number of additional features surrounding current students scheduled for release in the upcoming year.
What a year it’s been! I’m so proud of all that we have accomplished together this academic year and I’m so grateful for your part in our collective success. Please join me in celebrating a productive academic year that included a number of new initiatives to advance our shared goals ...

Congratulations to the Spring 2019 Medallion recipients!

As summer approaches, many students contact the Graduate College for advising or guidance on registering for classes. With many graduate coordinators gone for the summer, we sometimes have difficulty finding someone for students to speak with when many faculty go on break. If you will be unavailable this summer, please help us provide 100% solutions to our new students by designating an administrator or main email or phone line that we can direct students to in your absence. Email gradadmissions@unlv.edu today!
