University was a stop on the Chicago Transit Authority's Green Line, situated at 1200 East 63rd Street within Chicago's Woodlawn district. The station commenced operations on April 23, 1893. Between December 12, 1982, and January 9, 1994, University functioned as the terminus for the Jackson Park Branch. It ceased operations on January 9, 1994, during a Green Line refurbishment and remained closed when service restarted on May 12, 1996. Although there were initial plans to replace it with a new terminal at Dorchester, the line was ultimately shortened to end at Cottage Grove. In September 1997, University station was dismantled along with the remainder of the Jackson Park branch located east of Cottage Grove.
