Short answer
If you are new to NDSU, save NDSU Police before you save a neighbor: the published non-emergency line is 701-231-8998, and 911 is for emergencies. Learn Memorial Union as your indoor public meeting place, and use Help Me for small favors like directions or a jump in a lit lot, not for official campus help.
The facts, in one place
- Save NDSU Police first. Confirm the number on the official site.
- Memorial Union is the indoor public default.
- NDSU events from MyNDSU appear in Help Me with the source attached.
- Help Me does not replace campus escorts or student services.
Save official NDSU before you save a neighbor
NDSU University Police and Safety is the campus number. The published non-emergency line is 701-231-8998, and 911 remains 911. They run a safety escort: call that number and ask. That is an official officer, not a neighbor in an app.
Student Health sits in the Wallman Wellness Center (701-231-7331), and Counseling is in Ceres Hall (701-231-7671). After hours, NDSU points students to FirstLink and 988. None of that is Help Me, and numbers can change, so confirm on the NDSU site.
How to get oriented
Memorial Union is the indoor public default. The libraries are study ground. MyNDSU is the official events source Help Me includes, labeled and linked. If the feed is down, the app says so, and it does not invent a Bison game.
- Learn one indoor meeting place: the Union.
- Learn one official safety number: NDSU Police.
- Learn the river: you are in Fargo, Cass County, North Dakota. Moorhead is a different state.
- Ask Help Me for directions, a study table, or a jump in a public lot.
Parking lots will test you
NDSU lots in January are jump-start country. Meet at a public, lit corner of the lot or walk to the Union first. Do not share a residence-hall pin. Campus police are still there if something is wrong. Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team. Help Me does not run background checks. You can report or block any member at any time.
Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
Questions people actually ask
No. Helping needs identity evidence and a current review by our team. A student card is not that.
No. Call NDSU Police for an official escort. Help Me is for small favors between neighbors.
Memorial Union or another busy public place. Do not meet in a residence-hall room.
