Student Move Out Beginning
Finals week begins today. During this time, UNL will have approximately 5,000 students moving out of the residence halls.
Plan for extra travel time because areas around the residence halls will be congested. Watch for barricades, closed traffic lanes, and parking cadets providing traffic control. If possible, consider alternate parking and/or travel routes to avoid areas around residence halls through May 6.
