Working together to keep the tri-campus community safe

Immediately after contacting SafeBouND, call (574) 239-8312 (HCC Campus Security) to obtain a ride from the ND transfer point to the HCC campus (Call immediately after contacting SafeBouND so HCC Campus Security can meet you at the drop-off point).
