Bikes & Property Tagging

Students who live on campus have access to store their bikes at the bike racks. Apartment residents with outdoor items should tag items before summer.

Students who choose to bring bikes to campus have access to the many racks across campus. To help remove abandoned property from the campus, students are asked to tag their personal items that are left outside at the end of the academic school year before June. 

Bike Racks

Bike racks are available for use outside each residence hall, as well as near campus buildings. All students who own bikes are encouraged to obtain strong locks and chains and to their register bikes with the Grand Forks Police Department.

Property Tagging

To distinguish the abandoned property from current residents’ property, apartment residents are asked to place a "property identification band" on items that may be left outside at the end of the academic year before summer. Any property that does not have a band will be removed by UND Facilities after June 1.

Tag Information

• Items can be tagged using a temporary band. Please know that these bands are temporary and will not damage your property. 
• The bands are usually bright colors like yellow, orange, or green. The color may vary based on availability and year.
  • Residents will put yellow tags on their bikes between May 4^th and May 18^th.
  • Housing staff will put red tags on any bikes without a yellow tag the week of May 18^th.
    • If residents see their bike has a red tag, they must cut if off before May 26^th.
  • Bike with red tags will be taken the week of May 26^th.
    • If a red tag/abandoned bike has been registered with Safety, Safety will reach out to the owner.
  • Bikes will be held for 30 days, then sent to Surplus.
