You will receive a link to your schedule book to your UNO email address.

*Please note that Zoom links will only be usable during scheduled Zoom meetings.

Louisiana weather doesn't care that it's MAMBO (and neither do our internet providers)! We know tech issues sometimes happen.

Don't fret, just send an email to nse@uno.edu whenever you get a connection and we'll note your excused absence.

Great question-- it's both!

Your MAMBO schedule will include an Online day, an In-person day, a Service day, and "choose your own adventure" days.

Visit the MAMBO website to view a sample schedule for your College/student type. 

Don’t you fret! Your schedule with zoom links will be emailed to your UNO email address. 

If your schedule link is not there, please email nse@uno.edu. 

We know that life doesn’t stop just because of MAMBO. The MAMBO schedule can seem pretty time consuming, but here are some insider tips: 
•    The schedule has been designed to help you prepare for the classroom and for campus life-- plan on spending those afternoons at MAMBO.
•    The service day is optional but strongly encouraged; giving back is an important part of being in the New Orleans community!
•    Evening activities and options for your self-guided days are up to you. Be selective in what you choose to do based on your interests and availability!
Students who attended MAMBO last year were much more successful in their first year than those who did not attend. Get your year off to a great start by attending as much as possible

Reach out to us at nse@uno.edu or contact your orientation leader once MAMBO is here. 

If you are living on campus, moving in is just one of many ways that MAMBO will help prepare you for a successful first year at UNO! To make sure you don't miss a thing, be sure to move in the morning of you your in-person MAMBO day. Read more move-in information from Pontchartrain Halls and Privateer Place. 

New International Students should follow the move-in information as directed by the Office of International Students & Scholars.  

New Student Athletes will follow move-in instructions provided by the Athletics department and their coaches.  

If you are traveling or from out of state and cannot move-in on your in-person day, please email nse@uno.edu with details.

Oops! Looks like you RSVP'ed for MAMBO. Just shoot us an email at nse@uno.edu and let us know that you aren't attending and why.

YAY! Looks like you RSVP'ed for MAMBO! 

If you believe you have received a schedule by mistake, please contact us at nse@uno.edu.  

Please contact us at nse@uno.edu to set up your accommodations. 

Ideally, having both a computer and smartphone make for the best MAMBO experience, but having either/or will still let you participate fully! Only the first day is virtual. 

If you do not have a computer, the Earl K. Long Library has a limited number of laptops available for students to check out. If you wish to check out a device, please email libref@uno.edu.

*We have been made aware that there are compatibility issues with Chromebooks and the Zoom client. If you are using a Chromebook and require additional information about your Zoom meetings to connect, please contact nse@uno.edu. You may also choose to join from your phone instead.

If the links in your daily schedule are not clickable, just right click the link and copy and paste it into a browser window.

When you enter the link, a window will pop up prompting you to start Zoom. Click "yes" or "allow" so that you can use Zoom to enter the meeting!

If you enter the link and it prompts you for a password, please email nse@uno.edu and we can provide you with additional log in information.

You will need to have Zoom downloaded on your phone or computer to attend MAMBO activities.

College doesn't just happen on campus! You might have online classes or attend online events-- with MAMBO, we want you to be prepared for whatever your first year might throw your way.

No worries! Here is a helpful tutorial for you to watch on Youtube:

Your links should still work! Just highlight the link, copy and paste it into a browser window. A pop-up will prompt you to open the link in Zoom. Click "yes."

Your meeting or workshop hasn't started yet! Just hang out and the Zoom room will magically open when the host lets you in.

First, check your schedule! Your zoom link probably won't work until about 10 minutes before your next meeting or activity.

If you see this message during your scheduled class or workshop time, contact your orientation leader or email nse@uno.edu.

Absolutely! We encourage you to chat with your roommates about your expectations for your suite.

The Office of Residential Life encourages roommates to work together to outline things that will impact their comfort in the suite: guests, cleaning expectations and cleaning supplies, shared appliances, temperature, etc.

As a resident, you can have a bike and/or car and park it near the halls.
