Housing and Residence Life Community Policies

Please review the Housing and Residence Life Community Policies document

Students, parents, and guardians are strongly encouraged to read about our policies and procedures in detail. Not only does this include the rules, standards, and expectations that come with living in a community, but it also includes emergency procedures and helpful information intended to ensure students have a safe and successful experience while living on campus. All housing residents will be held to the policies and expectations outlined in the HRL Community Policies.

Alleged violations of the Housing and Residence Life Community Policies are documented by housing staff and/or Public Safety. Following an alleged policy violation, all students involved will receive an electronic letter to their UNO email address from a Housing and Residence Life Professional staff member requesting a meeting to discuss the alleged violation. During this meeting, the student will have the opportunity to talk through the incident and the alleged policy violation. The Housing and Residence Life staff member will make a determination regarding next steps. This process is designed to be educational in nature, while still honoring the policies set forth to ensure all community members experience a positive, safe, and educational living environment. Read more information on student conduct.

Smudging Policy

Many Native Americans and Indigenous peoples are practitioners of tradition and prayer involving the use of sacred plant medicines. The University recognizes sage, cedar, sweet grass, tobacco and other Indigenous plants as traditional Native American medicines and essential elements of tradition, prayer, and spiritual healing. The University is committed to providing a pathway for Indigenous students living on-campus who wish to smudge.

The University of Nebraska at Omaha is located on the ancestral homeland of Native Americans, and the University recognizes the deep connection that Native people have to the land. UNO is committed to supporting Native students by facilitating the continuation of and rights to their spiritual practices, as acknowledged and protected within the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978.

The University is a smoke-free campus and the HRL Community Policies prohibit the use of candles and incense within University housing. However, the smudging policy outlines the process by which Indigenous students may be granted a reasonable exemption to those policies in order to smudge in on-campus residential facilities.


Canceling a Housing Application

BEFORE Housing Lease Contract is Signed:

  • Student first and last name
  • Student NUID
  • Postal mailing address - street, city, state, and zip code - this is the address used to send the deposit refund

Failing to complete any of the steps above may prevent you from canceling your application or receiving a deposit refund.


Canceling a Housing Lease Contract

Once the request is received and approved, the refund will be processed and mailed to the address used in your student records via US Postal Service. The refund will come as a State of Nebraska check.
