LGBTQA Programs & Services TransGuide: Student Housing

Student housing at UNL is assigned according to legal sex. However, there are many alternative options for transgender and gender-nonconforming students.

IMPORTANT:

All unmarried first year undergraduate students under the age of 19 are required to live in the residence halls for the first year, except when proof of housing with family is available. If you do not plan to live in university-approved housing for your first year and you are under the age of 19, you must fill out the Campus Residency Requirement (PDF) form.
