Point of emphasis: Additional review/approval by the North Dakota University System (NDUS) Chancellor is required when:
- Another entity leases or rents real property* from UND for more than one year.
- UND leases real property from another entity for five years or more.
- UND leases equipment, personal property* or real property from another entity and total payments paid by UND (including lease, or rental, interest and all other payments over the lease/rental term) equal $500,000 or more.
Additionally, the chancellor may, at his discretion, submit the lease to the SBHE for consideration and approval in lieu of his approval, which may considerably delay the review and subsequent approval of the lease.
*Real property is defined in State Board of Higher Education policy 909 as land and buildings or other structures attached or affixed to the land, including attached and integrated equipment, anything growing on the land, including crops, and mineral interests.
*Personal property is movable and is not affixed to or associated with the land.
