Housing Connection for Parents

Welcome to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Parents Website. As the parent, guardian, or family member of a UNL student, you also become a vital part of our campus' extended family. We've designed this site with information specifically for parents/family members so you can support your son or daughter in his or her studies and college life.


Cancellation and No-Show Policies

Any student not occupying his/her room by 6 p.m. on the first day of classes shall be considered a no-show and will have his/her contract cancelled as of that time unless he/she has filed an official notification of delay of arrival by written notice, either by email or hand-delivered, submitted and accepted by University Housing, by 4 p.m. on the first day of classes.

UNLAlert Recommended For Student Computers

UNL is committed to the safety and security of its students, faculty, and staff, and visitors to campus. Students and parents are encouraged to install UNLAlert, a custom computer application designed to help facilitate early notification during emergencies.

UNLAlert comes to life with scrolling onscreen graphics and audio when UNL Police issue an emergency notice.

Anyone who wants to receive alert notices from UNL Police may download the application at http://emergency.unl.edu.

Handling alcohol and drug violations

Students spend almost two-thirds of their time in the residence hall during the academic year. Should a student encounter an alcohol or drug violation during his or her stay, Housing staff first want to support the student and help them find the needed resources.
