Please help to spread the word about the “Plans After Graduation & Experiences Survey.”  In order to gather information on post-secondary plans, receive reflections on their time at UND, and get answers to employment questions we are often asked, we are asking for your support to help us get a better response.

Learn more about the survey.

Encourage students to watch for the survey in an email from UND Career Services starting one month prior to graduation, with regular reminders until the survey has been completed by the student.

Students who complete the survey will be entered to win a $250 Amazon gift card.  A winner will be drawn one month after graduation.

Ideas of ways to share:

  • Post on Blackboard

Notification for new/revised policies

The following policy documents have been posted for notification of approval, revision and/or retirement. Contact the policy owner with questions or submit feedback electronically.

New Documents

Please go to the New & Recently Revised Policies list to view the documents.

  • Sponsored Project Payroll Confirmation
    The University of North Dakota (UND) requires employees to certify that the salaries and wages charged or cost shared to sponsored projects are reasonable in relation to the actual work performed. This is achieved through after-the-fact certification of project payroll recorded on project payroll statements (PPS) in the UND Compensation Compliance (UNDCC) system. UND is committed to ensuring that PPS completed in connection with sponsored projects are accurate. All faculty and staff who are involved in allocating salaries and wages to sponsored projects, managing sponsored projects, or completing pre review and certification are responsible for understanding the principles of accurate and timely payroll certification.
  • Laboratory Safety Manual
    This manual was developed by the University of North Dakota (UND) Office of Safety (OoS) to provide information to protect workers and the surrounding environment and to achieve compliance with applicable standards and regulations. Implementation of these policies and procedures is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) and depends largely on the efforts of laboratory supervisors and personnel. It is essential that they seek additional advice and training when needed to conduct research in a manner that is safe for employees, students, and the surrounding community.
