Faculty Rentals
Faculty can pick up the regalia the week of the ceremony at the UND Bookstore and must return rentals no later than one week following the event.

Select your Alma Mater institution. In the "School Affiliation" section please select "Univeristy of North Dakota."
If you would like black traditional regalia please select "standard regalia" on the top choice bar. If you are an alumni of UND and would like to purchase the UND specific regalia as an alumni faculty member please click on "custom school regalia" on the top bar. Please do not order the UND specific regalia if you did not attend UND as a student.
Orders take approximately 8 weeks for manufacturing and shipping. Faculty can submit a Regalia Reimbursement Form along with their receipt to the Shared Service Center at UND.SharedServiceCenter@UND.edu and UND will process a one-time payroll of $300 to help with the cost of purchase. Faculty members will be responsible for sales tax on the purchase in addition to income tax and other withholdings.

Faculty planning to participate in the commencement ceremony should RSVP at Faculty Commencement.
Faculty should arrive 45 minutes before the ceremony. A dressing room is available in the auditorium’s lower level to get dressed in regalia.
