Campus Security Overview
Dickinson State University Campus Security provides uniformed security for the DSU campus and can be reached at 701-290-1068. In an emergency, call 911.
Campus Security will provide referral to police and medical assistance as needed.

Annual Safety Report
The Campus Safety Booklet/Annual Safety Report compiles specific information, including crime prevention, fire safety, law enforcement authority, crime reporting policies, disciplinary procedures and other matters of importance related to security and safety on campus. This report also contains information about campus crime statistics and resources to aid you in being safety-minded. Members of the campus community are encouraged to use this report as a guide for safe practices on and off-campus.
Lost and Found
The Office of Public Safety is the main site for lost and found valuables (electronics, identifications cards, other property). It is located at the Student Center, Office 209. If an unattended item is found, an attempt will be made to locate the owner. If we are unable to locate the owner, the location where the property was found will be noted, the property will be listed under our found items.
Parking Guidelines
The regulation of parking is a service to the University, and is intended to:
- protect student, staff, and faculty pedestrian mobility;
- use available parking space in the best interests of the entire University;
- and maximize parking area consistent with Dickinson State University community needs.
Any motorized vehicle operated on the property of Dickinson State University is subject to regulations governing parking at the institution. Campus parking may be restricted to vehicles with permits which authorize parking in that area only. Parking enforcement is conducted year-round, 24 hours per day.
