At least in the US, I think \"(university) president\" would be quite common.

The chancellor swore him in in the customary fashion/as usual.
Depends on the country. In Puerto Rico, a university presidente is president; a rector is chancellor. Careful: "rector" in English usually has a religious connotation, especially in the Church of England. For "de rigor" we often use "de rigueur," but to me that feels inappropriate in this context. I prefer "in the customary fashion" despite the double "in," but "as usual" can be substituted.
