The CEC will do everything possible to reserve spaces for your event, however, parking in Lot E is not guaranteed and the parking attendant may issue instructions on where to park if parking is unavailable in Lot E at the time of check-in.
Lot E is staffed from 7 A.M. until 5 P.M. Monday through Fridays. No stalls can be reserved while the attendant is off duty, and the lot becomes a first-come, first-served visitor lot. If you intend to drop-off or pick-up guests by bus please contact UNO Event Parking at 402.554.7275, unoeventparking@unomaha.edu to make arrangements.

Signed Reservation Agreement
Reservation Agreements are sent at the time of your confirmation and must be signed and returned, within two (2) business days after confirmation is delivered, or the reservation will be canceled.
