Faculty/staff assignments are made for one year; extensions will be made only with the approval of the appropriate dean or vice president and will count against the college's or division's allocation for the next year.
Requests for a faculty/staff or graduate assistant assignment must be made by the department head to the dean or vice president who then makes the request to the Director of Residence Services. These requests should be submitted to the dean or vice president by March 1 for fall assignments. Assignments are made from July 15 to July 15 of the following year and all leases, except graduate assistants, will terminate July 15. Allocations must be utilized by August 1. After August 1, assignments will be made by the Director of Residence Services.
Each year the residence halls are open to house conferences and camps sponsored by a University department. The conference season is a year-round program; however, space is limited during the academic terms. The adult conferees are housed in halls with twin beds made up hotel-style; a phone service, daily housekeeping service and other amenities are provided. Youth camps are housed in separate halls with linens provided. Supervision is provided by Housing at an approximate ratio of 1 supervisor to 30 campers.

All faculty, employees, and students who operate a motor vehicle and use University parking facilities must obtain a parking permit. Proof of vehicle ownership and identification card signifying employment will be requested at the time of parking registration. It is the responsibility of the individual to obtain and properly display the permit assigned. Failure to display a permit or the improper display of a permit by anyone connected with the University constitutes a parking violation by the operator of the vehicle. Faculty and staff park in red "A" zones or brown "G" zones.
The University will not assume responsibility for the protection and/or care of any vehicle or its contents at any time it is operated or parked on the campus. It is strongly recommended that cars be kept locked at all times and that visual valuables be removed when the car is parked. Theft or vandalism should be reported immediately to the UND Police Department.
Operators of motor vehicles are subject to city ordinances, state laws, and/or University regulations. The speed limit on campus is 15 miles per hour. On all parts of the campus, pedestrians have the right-of-way. When a member of the University community commits a parking or traffic violation, a parking ticket will be issued. The penalty for the parking ticket is due within seven calendar days or the penalty doubles. The person in whose name a parking permit is issued or the person who owns or operates the vehicle will be held responsible for any violation involving the vehicle. These regulations shall apply to the spouse, friend, or relative of the person registering or owning the vehicle.

The University of North Dakota campus is served by a Definity G3 digital touch-tone telephone system. All station numbers begin with the prefix 777-XXXX. The central campus operator is located in the lower level of the Carnegie building and can be reached from campus telephones by dialing "0". To call a number on campus, dial 7, then the last four digits of the telephone number. Telephone dialing instruction brochures are available at each department's main office or upon request at Telecommunications, Room 5, Carnegie.
Telecommunications is responsible for the installation and maintenance of
all underground and building cable and room connections for voice, data, and
video communications on the University campus.
Telecommunications is also responsible for installation and maintenance
of all UND-owned telephone sets and peripheral equipment for academic and
administrative areas on the main campus. Malfunctions of academic and
administrative telephones should be reported to your departmental Telephone
Counselor, who will contact Telecommunications if needed. Each department has
an assigned Telephone Counselor who has been trained to instruct users on
telephone functions. Data communication malfunctions should be reported to the
Information Technology Systems & Services (ITSS)
Departments are responsible for contacting Telecommunications and ITSS for any requirements or requests that affect telephone, data, and/or video services within office and/or classroom space being remodeled or renovated. Both Telecommunications and ITSS must be included in the early planning stages to incorporate communication cabling requirements into the construction process. Any necessary paperwork to make additions or changes should be submitted by the Telephone Counselor.
UND touch-tone telephones are restricted from the direct dialing of long distance and directory assistance calls. All in-state, out-of-state, directory assistance, and operator-assisted calls must be placed using the University's long distance network. Authorization codes are to be used to complete all University business calls on the long distance network. Dialing procedures for placing all types of calls are printed in the NDUS Definity G3 Dialing Instruction brochure, and also the UND Telecommunications Administrative Dialing Instruction Card, which is provided with each authorization code assigned. Monthly cost printouts sent to departments will itemize all calls placed by each individual authorization code. Problems on the long distance networks should be reported to the department Telephone Counselor.
The University's long distance network is to be used only for conducting University business. Personal or non-University calls can be placed using a personal calling card, calling collect, or by using the pay phones which are located in most campus buildings. Pre-paid calling cards are available for sale at the Telecommunications Office. Instructions for placing personal calling card and collect calls are included in the UND Faculty and Staff Telephone Information brochure. The use of the long distance network for person or non-University calls may result in disciplinary action, termination of employment, or personal liability.
Telecommunications should be notified via memo when employees assigned an authorization code and/or calling card transfer to another department or terminate their employment with UND. To avoid billing errors or abuse, a previously used authorization code should not be assigned to a new employee. UND-issued AT&T Calling Cards are available for faculty and staff who must place international calls or business calls while traveling.
The University has two types of audio teleconferencing units available to faculty and staff. The units are completely portable and can be used in any classroom, meeting room, or office where there is a working analog phone jack. The University has a teleconferencing bridge which can be used to join several participants in a conference call. The number of participants in a conference call can determine the right unit to be used. The audio teleconferencing units can join three participants by using the TRANSFER/CONFERENCE feature on an analog set. A departmental digital set can join up to six participants using the conference button on the set. The teleconferencing bridge can join up to twenty-four participants. Contact Telecommunications for more information or scheduling any of the teleconferencing units.
A video conference unit is available at Telecommunications for department use to connect to another compatible video conferencing site for conducting interviews, meetings and/or training sessions. Contact Telecommunications for further information and scheduling.
