University life comes with its challenges, and you don’t have to face them alone.
At the Notre Dame Student Association (NDSA), we’re committed to supporting every student throughout their university journey. Whether you need access to essential resources, someone to point you in the right direction, or you’d like to raise a concern about your student experience, we’re here to help.
If we can’t provide the support directly, we’ll connect you with the right University services. Through NDSA‘s partnership with Sonder, Notre Dame students have access to free, 24/7 health, safety and wellbeing support via the Sonder app.
Everyone deserves access to the essentials.
Our Student Pantry provides free non-perishable food and everyday essentials to help students experiencing financial pressure or simply needing a little extra support.
The pantry is available to all Notre Dame students—no judgement, no complicated process, just practical support when you need it.
We regularly restock the pantry throughout the semester thanks to our community partners and student initiatives.
Access to period products should never be a barrier to study.
NDSA proudly supports access to free menstrual products through the Share the Dignity Vending Machine.
The vending machine provides free period packs containing essential menstrual products, helping ensure students can continue their day with dignity and confidence whenever they’re needed.
Whether you’re experiencing difficulties on campus, have concerns about your student experience, or simply aren’t sure where to go for help, NDSA is here to listen.
Throughout the year, NDSA delivers a range of wellbeing initiatives designed to support students academically, socially and personally.
