In today’s world of fast-paced technology, full of kilobytes, megabytes, widgets and more, smartphones, iPads, tablets and e-readers have become all the rage.

The NDSCS Mobile App has just been updated and is truly a must-have app for the entire campus community as well as visitors, alumni, and friends of the College.

This latest update will now allow NDSCS employees to access pay and benefit information on their mobile device through the newly added ConnectND tile. Users can login with their NDUS user ID (firstname.lastname) and password, the same user ID and password currently used for employee self-service in HRMS.

  • Employees can now view vacation and sick leave, payroll information, benefits, a holiday calendar, and personal contact information.
  • Faculty can use the ConnectND tile to view teaching and exam schedules, class and grade rosters, and advisees.

The NDSCS Mobile App also has an Events tile and a News tile, keeping you up-to-date with the latest campus events and news. Or, if you’re planning a visit to NDSCS in Wahpeton and are a bit directionally challenged, be sure to check out the Maps tile, which will tell you exactly where you are and need to go. There’s even a tile that will allow you to take a self-guided tour of the campus, either in person or remotely.

The NDSCS Mobile App is available for free download directly to your device from the Apple App Store, Google Play, or BlackBerry App World. If you have NDSCS Mobile already installed on your device, be sure to update the app to add the Connect ND tile.

So get started and update or download your NDSCS Mobile App today!

  • Take a virtual tour of campus from anywhere, with rich media describing campus landmarks.
  •  Browse the NDSCS calendar of events and add events directly to your personal calendar.
  •  Stream the latest NDSCS videos.
  • See NDSCS’s top campus news.
  • Browse images from NDSCS.
