New Student Experience

You'll need your ID card to get books from the library, use your meal or dining dollars, and to get into the residence halls. (You can also use it to get discounts at a bunch of businesses in the area and to get into the Rec Center and Privateer athletic events for free!)

You'll need to pick up your ID in-person. ID cards will be located in the University Center Ballroom (2nd floor) from 8:30 AM to 4:00PM, Mondays through Fridays, from August 13th, 2020 through September 4th, 2020.

Will you have a car on campus this fall? Don't forget to pick up your parking decal!

Before you arrive

• You'll need a valid driver’s license, a valid vehicle registration and login to WebSTAR and complete the online decal application. You will pay for your decal on WebSTAR.
• *Residents of Privateer Place must complete a Privateer Place Parking Agreement Form which they can obtain from the management office of that complex. Contact info@privateerplaceUNO.com for more info.
• ** Residents of Pontchartrain Hall North or South do not need to register their vehicles on WebSTAR; they will request a decal through Adirondack and receive their residential decals at their front desk upon move in. Contact housing@uno.edu for more info.

Picking up your decal

• Students must be currently registered for classes, half of the tuition fees must be paid, and they must have payment receipt for parking decal(s). (You can pull up your payment confirmation on WebSTAR.)
• You'll need to pick up your decal in-person. Parking decals will be located in the University Center Ballroom (2nd floor) from 8:30 AM to 4:00PM, Mondays through Fridays, from August 13th, 2020 through September 4th, 2020.

Registration of your vehicle is not complete until you affix your decal to your car. All decals must be placed on the outside of the rear window on the lower left side.

This amount is subject to change depending on whether you make any changes to your classes. Please note there is a fee of $50 to enroll in the payment plan.
