Housing for Academic Year 2020 - 2021

UNK Residence Life is committed to promoting a safe community throughout the 2020-2021 academic year. In order to help ensure the health and well-being of all residents living on campus, policies and procedures have been adjusted to meet the current needs. UNK Residence Life & Facilities are taking steps to address social distancing and enhanced cleaning measures in the residence halls. We continue to instill a strong culture of community, inclusion, and responsibility as we support the learning that continues outside the classroom where students live.  

Covid-19 conditions are closely monitored as we incorporate guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Nebraska Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) to promote a safe environment for our residents, staff, and campus community.
