The university depends on the contributions of student employees in day-to-day operations. Student employees enhance quality of service to students, staff, faculty, and visitors who make up the UNLV community. Becoming a student employee prepares students for future employment while providing them with financial stability and transferable skills.
The Student Resource Guide is designed to help UNLV students find the resources and support that they need to succeed. If you have a need, please look through the categories listed to find UNLV resources that can help.

Student Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS)
UNLV Student Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) strives to facilitate and maintain the holistic well-being of UNLV students through three essential roles:
To best meet the needs of the UNLV student population, CAPS utilizes a Stepped Care Model in order to utilize resources most effectively. All students are welcome to schedule an initial consultation to discuss concerns with a clinician who will recommend the most effective yet least-resource intensive intervention first.
If you are interested in CAPS services, please call CAPS at 702-895-3627 to schedule an initial consultation appointment. Visit the instruction page on how to check-in for an appointment using the WellnessView Portal.
The Care Center offers confidential virtual support services, holistic healing workshops, campus education and awareness events to members of the UNLV, NSC, and CSN communities impacted by sexual violence, relationship violence, family violence, and/or stalking.

Care Survivor Fund
Through funding by CSUN, The Care Center provides the Care Survivor Fund, an emergency survivor fund available to UNLV students who have been financially impacted by sexual violence, relationship violence, family violence, and/or stalking.
Confidential Advocacy
Federal and state laws clearly recognize the need for a safe and confidential space for students to report experiences of power-based violence.
Confidential campus advocates are required to protect student’s privacy and confidential information, and therefore do not report anything a student says to the university, Title IX or campus police.
Exceptions to confidentiality include if the student reveals abuse or neglect of a child, including oneself if the student is under the age of 18, or of an elderly or disabled adult.
Confidential Care Advocates assist in the process of working through feelings, identifying needs, and making decisions.
UNLV Campus Life Student Support 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.
