Student Development and Services

When Priya Seeraj-Turingia reflects on her five years at Nipissing University, one theme stands out clearly: the Record of Student Development (RSD) has been the backbone of her growth, guiding how she learns, leads, and contributes to the campus community.

At Nipissing University, your education isn’t limited to lectures, labs and assignments. Some of your most meaningful learning opportunities happen in places that don’t show up on an academic transcript; and your Record of Student Development (RSD) turns those experiences into something official.

Whether you’re moving into residence, commuting locally, or joining us from across the country, now’s the time to get organized so your first days on campus are stress-free and memorable. We’ve compiled some highlights to include on your final prep checklist for a strong start as a Laker.

Each year, Nipissing University recognizes exceptional leaders through the Dave Marshall Leadership Awards (DMLA). Help us celebrate the leaders who are inspiring change on campus and beyond by nominating a deserving student by January 31, 2025. Annually, 25 full-time students are recognized with a Dave Marshall Leadership Award. These students have made an outstanding extracurricular contribution to their academic program, to the campus, or to the greater community. They have demonstrated leadership, initiative, commitment, and an ability to motivate and influence others toward the betterment of Nipissing University.

Nipissing University is teaming up with SpacesShared, an innovative online homesharing platform, to create new affordable housing options for students.
