Housing and Dining
Apartments for families and single
students are located on and near the NDSU campus. Residence halls
are planned to provide a comfortable learning environment and
are within walking distance to all classes. They offer excellent
opportunities to make new friends and become part of a learning
community. The university believes the residence hall program
is beneficial to a student's academic, social, and personal
growth.
Contracts for residence hall accommodations are for the academic
year. Requests for release at the end of the semester are reviewed
each semester. Procedures are specified in the General Conditions
of License Contract for Residence Halls. Housing is guaranteed
for all students requesting residence hall accommodations.
For an application or information regarding food and housing facilities,

ND 58105-5481.(Click here for housing or NDSU residence life)
Room and Meal Plan
Meal plans can be purchased separately
or in conjunction with housing. The actual amount for residence
hall and dining services accommodations will be specified in the
student's assignment notice for each academic year. Contract
rates do not cover break periods, although housing is available
on a limited basis.
Eligibility
Graduate students and graduate assistants
enrolled at NDSU may live in the university apartments for a maximum
of three years. Marital status or head of household requirements
also must be met to be eligible for family housing.
Graduate students, if not registered for the current semester,
must follow certain procedures to establish their eligibility.
In such cases, the graduate student will receive a letter from
the Department of Residence Life asking for a letter from their
major adviser to substantiate the academic workload. Upon approval
by the Department of Residence Life, the student is eligible for
an additional semester of occupancy in family housing.

Dining Services
The dining facilities for the majority
of students residing on campus are connected to adjacent residence
halls. Students living near the center of campus will find food
facilities easily accessible in the Memorial Union. Students not
residing in the residence halls may purchase a meal plan for the
dining center of their choice.
Rates have been established for meal service to begin with the
breakfast meal on the first day of orientation Fall Semester and
on the first day of classes Spring Semester. The noon meal will
be the last meal served prior to the beginning of all holidays
or recess periods. Sack lunches will be prepared for those students unable to eat
during the scheduled serving hours. A validated campus ID card
or cash is required upon entering dining areas. Campus ID cards
are not transferable between students or friends. Replacement
for a lost campus ID card can be obtained at the ID Card Center,
Memorial Union, for a charge of $15.00.
