UNLV’s fall semester kicks off Aug. 26, and a new crop of Rebels is ready to make it happen. The university expects to welcome more than 32,000 students – its largest-ever fall enrollment – when classes resume.

And that’s not all that’s new. As UNLV students embark on another academic year, they’ll encounter everything from upgraded security enhancements aimed at ramping up campus safety to new program offerings geared toward expanding their access to successful careers beyond college. 

Read on for just a few Fall 2024 UNLV highlights:
