Where do I receive mail and packages?

Mail hours are hosted daily, where students can pick up packages and mail delivered by USPS. Amazon, UPS, and FedEx packages are often delivered straight to the resident's door.

How do I get into my dorm? What about other dorms?

Your ND ID card provide access to your dorm only through a touch pad. After partietals, you will also need to enter a PIN number into the touchpad for access. Your PIN information can be found here. To get into other dorms, you will need to contact a member of the dorm to let you in.

Domer dollars vs Flexpoint

Domer dollars and flex points are very similar. Through your dining plan, you start off with 500 flex points. Parents can choose to upload a balance into their student's Domer Dollars if desired. Both forms can be accessed on the Grubhub and GET app. Domer dollars can be used at additional locations on campus and off campus, but aren't normally need if a student has access to a debit/credit card.
