IT Initiatives
At UNLV, our IT initiatives are focused on improving and expanding technologies for a seamlessly connected campus. Through innovation, we aim to enhance learning, teaching, research, and operations so students, faculty, and staff can thrive in a dynamic digital world.
Current Initiatives
Microsoft Intune Device Management For Work & Learning Anywhere
People now work and learn from anywhere, not just on campus. To better support this, UNLV’s moving to Microsoft Intune, a modern, cloud-based system for managing university devices (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android). This upgrade makes devices more secure, easier to use, and faster to update no matter where they’re used, with little to no action required from you.
RebelCard Service Migration
The RebelCard system will be upgraded to a more modern, advanced platform for identification and credentials for better security and data integration. With the new system, RebelCard will be available on your smartphone for added convenience when interacting with campus services.
Student Financial Aid Platform Update
UNLV is transitioning to a modern, cloud-based financial aid platform designed to simplify the financial aid process and empower students to manage their funding with confidence.
UNLV Slack Enterprise
UNLV is bringing Slack Enterprise to all students, faculty, and staff. With UNLV Slack Enterprise, we will have a secure platform, integrated with our ACE account, that enables an expansive library of integrated applications, including Canvas, Google, Zoom, Salesforce, and other approved applications.
