SECURITY
Security personnel are on duty 24 hours a day, each day of the year, patrolling and monitoring campus grounds, buildings, and parking lots. Security can be contacted at 612-343-4445 or in the Security Office located in first floor Miller.
Walking escorts are available to any of the NCU buildings or parking areas any time of day or night. A security escort is available to any of the NCU buildings, lightrail station, or parking lots year around 24 hours a day. Call 612-343-4445 to request a security escort.
PARKING
Students may apply for on-campus, commuter, and street parking online at https://skyline.northcentral.edu/security. Please read the parking regulations and policies on our website for more details and alternative parking options.
ID CARDS
Students are issued an ID card upon arrival to NCU. The ID cards not only identify people associated with NCU, but they also function as an access card to get into buildings, and serve to keep track of meals in the cafeteria according to the meal plan selected. Students are encouraged to wear their name tag in campus buildings.
A helpful feature of the ID cards is that funds can be placed on the card and used in laundry facilities found throughout the campus.
PERSONAL SAFETY REMINDERS
» Walk with a friend.
» Treat your dorm room like an apartment. Always lock your doors, no matter how soon you plan to return.
» Don’t store valuables in your vehicle.
