NDSU Personal Safety and Security Assist
Through the use of the Pathlight App, you can enhance your safety by entering your destination and estimated travel time with the application. This allows NDSU Police to quickly respond to you in the event of an emergency, or it will alert a dispatcher if you don't arrive within the time you allotted. You can also send a silent alarm to the dispatcher with the swipe of a finger if you feel threatened. When you confirm your safe arrival at your destination, it stops tracking you. Note that the app only monitors you when you want it to; if you don't open and activate Pathlight, it cannot be used to determine your location
Safety Awareness Notices
Included on this page are public safety awareness messages for events that happen within the proximity of the NDSU main campus and within the jurisdiction of the NDSU Police. These notifications are intended to alert the campus community to situations that might require awareness for personal safety.
CodeRED
CodeRED is the emergency notification system the City of Fargo uses to inform residents of critical or emergency situations that happen within the community. It is used for a variety of situations. Once the system is activated it will attempt to contact the user up to three times and leave messages in voicemail boxes or text messaging.
Active Shooter Training
An active shooter is an individual actively engaged in the attempt to kill people in a confined and populated area. This course provides guidance to students, faculty, and staff so that they can prepare on how to respond to an active shooter situation. Note that if an access code is requested once logged in, the code for us is ‘NDSU’ as indicated on the right hand side of the training enrollment page.
