Residential Life

SENIOR INCENTIVE CREDIT
Each fall, Residential Life offers a $2,000 senior year credit to the first 250 sophomore students who commit to live on-campus as seniors. Recognizing that many students choose senior year off-campus housing as early as sophomore year, the University will offer up to a $2,000 senior year incentive credit to students who commit in the fall of their sophomore year to remain on campus as seniors. This offering underscores our belief in the need for senior leaders in residence halls, while better aligning this discernment process with the current practices of local property owners who often market senior year housing to students during their sophomore year. These commitments will also help the University more effectively plan for future residential capacity as we seek to attract more seniors to campus.

The ND Safe app allows you to access multiple resources all in one place, including one-touch calls to NDPD, St. Joseph County’s 911 center, and non-emergency assistance. Within the app, you can activate the Virtual Walkhome feature, which allows a police dispatcher to monitor your walk to or from a residence hall or other location on or off campus. 

Other ND Safe features include FriendWalk, designed to share your location with friends or family; Mobile Blue Light, which shares your location with NDPD; and Social Escape, a self-scheduled call to your mobile phone as a means to leave an uncomfortable or potentially threatening situation.

ND Safe is now available via the ND Mobile app or as a stand alone app through the NDPD website.
