Dakota State University holds two commencement ceremonies, one in December and one in May. Faculty members can choose to attend either or both the fall and the spring graduation ceremonies, but are expected to participate in at least one. Remote faculty members are exempt from this requirement. Faculty should communicate with their college office about which ceremony they plan to attend.
All institutionally lobbied relationships and negotiations with the state legislature, including its committees, shall be coordinated through the Board of Regents. No subordinate official representing the university may appear before the legislature or committee except with the permission of the board or when requested by the state legislature itself. Staff members are free to represent their own views but may not represent them as institutional views. See SDBOR 1:12.
The university is governed by the purchasing regulations established by the State of South Dakota and the Board of Regents. Administrative purchasing authority rests solely with the university’s director of auxiliary services. Procurement regulations apply to all expenditures regardless of the source of university funds. All purchasing shall be done by the college office, and the university is not financially liable for supplies, equipment, or services except those purchased through the College Office.
Courses are assigned to rooms when the schedule is published. For scheduling meetings or events, DSU uses a centralized room-scheduling application, currently 25Live. On submission, the request will be reviewed, and a notification email will be sent to confirm the reservation. Each building has an approver that will evaluate submitted requests and then either approve or deny. Questions around room configuration or amenities should be directed to the staff location in that building.
Either full-time or part-time personnel are at all times prohibited from soliciting or selling articles or services to students, unless specifically approved by the chief administrator of the institution. See SDBOR Policy 3:7.
