Welcome to UNO Mavericks' Poly Sci Grad Students' Resources!

This student supported and maintained web page is aimed at bridging the gap between the experiences that on campus students have and those that we, Distance Education Students, have. We can use this space, which is not affiliated with the UNO Political Science Department, as a quick reference to help us through our time at UNO from selecting courses, to material covered during class, and potentially after graduation. On campus students should also feel free to use, and contribute to, this resource.

If you want to get on our mailing list, let us know. Updates will be sent out when new posts are made and at the end of semesters to help select classes.

Please note that the posts specific to class topics were pulled down. We currently do not have the resources to maintain class topic specific posts, and we would rather have no information posted, rather than put out conflicting or incorrect information.

Don't Forget The Writing Center

As a distance education education students we can use the Writing Center even tho we are not physically on campus. During the Fall and Spring semesters, you start by emailing the Writing Center with your paper attached, be sure to identify that you are a distance education student. Your paper will be assigned to one of the writing consultants who will make comments and return it to you. There's usually about a 48 hour turn around; however, during the busiest times late in the semester, you might have to wait a little longer. You can also just call the center at 402-554-2946 and make arrangements with their office assistant.  They typically do not provide these services during the summer.

For more information, stop by the UNO Writing Center website!

Parking On Campus

Since we hardly go to campus, if we ever do get the chance, we certainly don't pick up all the tricks the regular students get the first week.

There is free parking available during fall and spring semesters at the Crossroads Mall Parking Garage.  It is on the west side of 72nd, just north of Dodge.  The bus to campus leaves from the Southeast corner (you should see the buses waiting when you drive into the garage from the south side).

Three metered lots: East of the library, North of the Milo Bail Student Center and North of the Eppley Administration Building.

After 12:30pm, the surface level of the East Garage turns into a pay lot for $2.

You can also call Parking Services 402-554-7275 and request a visitor parking pass by mail.  I have not used this option, and I don't know if they will check to see if you are a student, but they probably do.

Night permits are good for parking in lots after 2:30pm.
