Resources, Services and Referrals

Nevada State University recognizes that transition into university is exciting, challenging, and, at times, over- whelming. Students who are coming to Nevada State straight from high school have to adjust to the differing expectations and culture of the university. At the same time, these students are undergoing the transition from dependence to independence, forming their identities as young adults, and meeting many new people. Returning adults must also undergo challenging transitions to meet the demands and rigors of university study. Many returning adult students are juggling family, career, caring for older parents, and school. Nevada State University is committed to helping students succeed by offering a variety of resources and services to assist with the academic, social, or personal issues that may arise, including those listed below

Bookstore

Nevada State students enjoy a campus bookstore that reflects the Nevada State University brand, including a wide selection of school spirit apparel, as well as gifts for alumni, friends, and family. Course materials are offered in variety of options including rental, digital, used and new formats, ensuring students have access to the options and formats that best suit their needs.

In addition, the campus bookstore has an online presence at https://www.bkstr.com/nscbookstore where students have the ability to order textbooks and school merchandise for in-store pickup or delivery.

Disability Resource Center

At Nevada State University, we recognize our responsibility to assure full access to all facilities, classes, and activities for students with disabilities as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as amended, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The staff of the Disability Resource Center (DRC) review the disability-related needs of students to determine whether accommodations or support services are necessary to facilitate that access. Our mission is to create an accessible university community where students with disabilities have equitable access to classes, labs, and activities. We work with students, faculty, and staff to promote students' independence and access and create a culture of accessibility, social justice, and diversity.

Students who have documented disabilities that may require accommodation should contact the Disability Resource Center (DRC) in Rogers Student Center, Room 123, by calling (702) 992-2180 or through email at DRC@nevadastate.edu. It is important to note that once a student is in university, it is the student's responsibility to self-identify to the DRC and to provide appropriate documentation of disabilities. For more information on how to self-identify and to ensure that the student has the appropriate documentation, please contact the DRC at (702) 992-2180.
