NDSU offers a wide variety of services to students ranging from free bus transportation to counseling.
One of the more popular services is the Wellness Center. Students go for many reasons including fitness programs, wellness education, and student health services.
A great program that students can advantage of is ACE tutoring. ACE is available for any undergraduate looking for help in almost any of the 100 and 200 level courses at NDSU. Appointments are not needed because ACE will help anyone who walks in. “As an added convenience, the Mathematics Department tutors offer math tutoring at ACE separate from our own tutors,” said Assistant Director of Learning Services/Athletic Academics, Casey Peterson.
The Counseling Center is also a great place to go get help. Not only does this service tend to those dealing with depression or other personal problems, the counselors can also help sort out any confusion that may arise when trying to decide on a major, a career, or any academic problem.
A third place to get help is the Campus Police. Their website, which can be reached by going to www.ndsu.edu, shows that NDSU has 10 licensed police officers to promote safety and security across campus.
A very well known service across the campus is dining services. NDSU has three dining centers somewhat evenly spaced across campus. If the dining center happens to be serving something less than appetizing, the basement of the Memorial Union contains a Taco Bell, a sub sandwich shop, a pizza place, and a couple other places to suit the tastes of many students.
Coffee shops can also be found near the Bison Courts, in the Union, and in the new addition to Minard Hall.
Information Technology Services, ITS, maintains all of the computers and printers found in clusters all over campus. ITS can also help with virus removal and protection; renting electronics, and almost any technology related problem that can occur.
These services are just a few that NDSU offers. NDSU services are meant to help students succeed and have the best college experience possible.
