MSUM
New to MSUM, on the Minnesota side
You did not enroll in a Fargo annex. MSUM is a Minnesota campus with its own public safety, its own calendar, and a river that is also a border.
Moorhead numbers, Moorhead campus
MSUM Public Safety publishes 218-477-2449, 24/7. Search MSUM Public Safety to confirm. They offer safety escorts, on-campus jump starts, and vehicle unlocks in a short radius around campus. 911 is still 911. Moorhead Police are not Fargo Police.
You are in Clay County, Minnesota. Food support, mental-health crisis lines, and housing programs can differ from Cass County. 211 on this side of the river may still be answered with local knowledge — FirstLink serves Clay County for 211 — but county offices do not copy-paste.
First-week geography
Concordia is minutes away. Downtown Moorhead along Center Avenue is a public meeting strip. Fargo’s Broadway is a walk or a short drive when you want the other downtown. Gooseberry Park is beautiful and not always the right place to meet a stranger after dark.
- Save Public Safety before you save a group chat.
- Use the campus union and library as default public indoor ground.
- Help Me shows official MSUM events with the source still attached.
- Ask a neighbor for a study table or a jump. Ask Public Safety for an official escort or a campus jump.
The first week is a separate guide
If you want the day-by-day of buildings, buses, and not eating every meal from a box, open First week at MSUM. This page is the identity: Minnesota campus, official safety first, neighbor help second.
Questions people actually ask
Does Help Me work in Moorhead or only Fargo?
Moorhead is part of the metro the app is built for. Matching is local, not Fargo-only.
Should I call Fargo Police from campus?
For a campus emergency, 911 or MSUM Public Safety. Moorhead Police serve the city. Do not assume a Fargo non-emergency line is the right city desk.
