Due to software upgrades, in April of 2024, you will receive an email with instructions from UNO Access Services about setting up your UNO student account and UNO email address. Don’t worry, we will send you reminders to be on the lookout.
If you are a freshman or transfer student with less than 60 hours, you must attend a Registration Day session. If you are an adult student (age 25 and up) or a non-degree seeking student it is not required, but we encourage you to register for one of our upcoming Registration Days. These one-day programs are designed to assist you during your transition to UNO and are required for all incoming Freshmen students. During the Registration Day, you’ll meet with your academic advisor, get your privateer ID, and most importantly – register for classes!
