Secure residence halls

Front desks in all residence halls are staffed 24/7 to monitor entry and assist in emergencies.

• Student ID is required to enter—no exceptions.
• Guests must be checked in and stay with their host at all times.
• Doors remain locked, with access via student ID or buzzer system.

Support on duty every night

From 7:00 p.m.–7:00 a.m. daily, each residence hall has a Resident Assistant (RA) on duty to support students, answer questions, and respond to emergencies. RAs are backed by Professional Staff (Pro. Staff) and Campus Safety, and will contact 911 when needed.

Need help at night? Call your residence hall’s front desk to reach the RA on duty.

Health and safety inspections

Each semester, RAs and Pro. Staff conduct routine inspections to ensure clean and safe living environments. We’ll give you advance notice via email and flyers. We check for excessive clutter or health risks, unsafe appliances or furniture setups, and fire hazards and maintenance issues.

Note: Policy violations discovered during inspections may result in disciplinary action.

Protect your belongings

Always lock your door and secure your valuables. North Park isn’t liable for lost or stolen items, so we recommend renters insurance or coverage through a family policy.

Viking Shuttle

The Viking Shuttle runs evenings through early morning hours and stops at key campus locations. It’s free for students, driven by a North Park Safety Officer, and adds an extra layer of security.
