Open House Programs
Attending one of UNO's open house programs will give you and your family the opportunity to learn all about your future college life at UNO. We'll show you around campus and let you see the residence halls you hope to call home. You'll also get the chance to talk to representatives about academics, financial aid, housing and more. A panel of current students will be available to give you the first-hand scoop on life at UNO, in and out of the classroom. It's a full day, so come prepared with lots of questions. Reservations are required to attend and are on a first-come, first-serve basis, so register early! How do you schedule an Open House visit? Go to Mavspace to register on-line or call us at (402)554-6281, toll free at 877-884-MAVS (6287). You will need to sign up for a MavSpace Account to schedule a visit. A MavSpace account gives you the flexibility of signing up for a campus visit, Open House, or simply just request information about UNO all in one convenient location.
