We are excited to welcome our newest Huskers home! As students return to campus this August, the energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm they bring is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. We recognize that move-in may temporarily shift our typical routines—but the joy, connection, and momentum it brings to our community are well worth the momentary disruptions. Thank you for your continued support in making their arrival as smooth and memorable as possible. Go Big Red!
From Sunday, August 17 through Wednesday, August 20, University Housing will launch a drive-thru check-in process to welcome new students and their families to campus. This new model is designed to create a more centralized, efficient, and memorable move-in experience, and will be centered at the Memorial Stadium Loop at 14th and Vine Streets.
What to Expect
Students and families will begin their move-in at Memorial Stadium, where they will check in, receive welcome materials, and then proceed to their assigned residence hall for unloading. While move-in week always brings increased activity, this new approach will temporarily affect traffic flow and parking access in central areas of City Campus.
Road Closures (August 17–20):
• 14th Street from W Street south to the circle drive east of Andrews Hall
• Vine Street from 14th to 16th Street
Parking Lot Closures:
• Memorial Loop (Area A), Memorial Mall (Areas F03 and D01), east of Memorial Stadium
These closures will result in temporary changes to parking access for faculty, staff, and students who normally park in these locations.
Alternate Parking Options During Move-In
For Area A Permit Holders:
Please use any of the following lots or garages:
• 14th & Avery Garage
• 19th & Vine Street Garage
• Non-reserved Faculty/Staff/Student Lot at 16th & W Streets
• Non-reserved Faculty/Staff Lot at 16th & X Streets
For Reserved Area F03 (Faculty/Staff) and Area D01 (Student) Permit Holders:
Please use the Nebraska Champions Club parking lot, located west of Memorial Stadium.
For Reserved Area F05 (Faculty/Staff) and Area D03 (Student) Permit Holders:
Please continue to park in your assigned lot east of the College of Business, entering westbound from Vine Street to avoid move-in traffic.
We appreciate your cooperation and flexibility as we welcome our newest Huskers to campus! Your patience and understanding helps us create a smooth and positive start for students and their families.
