Discuss with roommates who is bringing: TV, stereo, iron and ironing board, kitchenware and dishes, kitchen towels, cleaning supplies and shower curtain and hooks.
What should I NOT bring?
Don’t bring halogen lights, weapons or firearms, fireworks, candles, grills of any kind, large nails (we prefer pins or very small nails), waterbeds, pets (except fish, but no tanks over 10 gallons) or alcoholic beverages.
Do I need a UNO parking permit?
Yes, if you plan on bringing a car with you, you will need to purchase a parking permit online through Parking Services. Please be sure to select the correct permit. If you are living on Scott Campus, you must purchase the “Scott Resident Permit.” If you live on Dodge Campus you must select the “Mav-University Resident Permit."
Do I need Renter's Insurance?
We recommend that you get some type of renters insurance. UNO does not provide personal property insurance. Your family’s household insurance may cover your property while you live on-campus. Discuss this with your family’s insurance carrier or an independent insurance carrier. There is also GradGuard to purchase renters insurance through.
How do I get access to enter my building?
Your MavCARD will be activated during move-in to give you access to your building. All facilities use this method except University Village.
Can I remain on-campus during holidays/breaks?
Yes. Hours for common buildings will vary. You are not required to remain on-campus, but we do recommend you lock everything and safely store items before you leave.
Is it necessary to have a meal plan when living on-campus?
No. Meal plans are only required for Scott Hall and Scott Crossing Traditional Style. All other facilities have a full kitchen so residents can prepare their own meals. More information about meal plans can be found here.
