Welcome to 46556.

Opportunities abound in the world’s most distinctive zip code for Catholic higher education. The University of Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s College, and Holy Cross College share a common history, mission, and even the same post office! Together, we form a tri-campus in which many amazing resources—clubs, classes, sporting events, a student newspaper—are shared. For Holy Cross students, this means the best of both worlds: a small college with big access.

For example, you might:

  • Earn a Pathway to guaranteed admission in one of the Master’s programs offered at the University of Notre Dame or Saint Mary’s College
  • Take collaborative courses with students from across the Tri-Campus
  • Participate in one of 500 student clubs and organizations across the tri-campus community, from the Notre Dame Marching Band to our own Improv Club
  • Take advantage of intramural offerings like club crew, rugby, men’s and women’s boxing, Glee Club and more
  • Use your Holy Cross student ID to access Fighting Irish athletic events, the Hesburgh and Cushwa-Leighton Libraries, and more
  • Earn a dual-degree through the Driscoll Dual-Degree program.
  • Sign up for retreats and service trips with students from neighboring schools
  • Take 1 course per semester at Notre Dame or Saint Mary’s
