Business Cards

UND business cards are available to University faculty and staff.

Supervisors may order student employees business cards using departmental funds if the student will be formally representing UND in their position. This can include student ambassadors, resident assistants, students presenting on behalf of UND at conferences, medical residents, graduate teaching assistants, etc.  

Undergraduate and graduate students cannot order official UND business cards for personal use.

Other guidelines include:  

• Card Design: All digital business cards must be UND green with the white UND Logotype centered on the front (see example below). 
• Purchasing: Departments must purchase digital business cards using department funds from a third-party vendor. Please contact identity@UND.edu before placing a digital business card order for your department to see if UND has worked with that vendor on previous orders. 
• Digital Profiles: 
  • Managed by a department representative, not individuals. 
  • UND headshots must be used as the digital profile photo.
  • The header image for each profile must reflect the UND brand.
