Residence Life Mission

The Residence Life program at NDSCS is an important component of the living/learning philosophy promoted by the Department of Residence Life and the College as a whole. It is the goal of our department to develop a residential community which will enhance academic studies and allow for meaningful personal growth opportunities while encouraging students to exercise responsible citizenship.

Students residing in any residential environment should be aware of the policies and regulations that govern both the residential halls and the apartments. Upon checking in, students are provided with the Residence Life Policies and Code of Conduct which they are expected to review and abide by.
