Honorary Awards and Titles

The University Council recognises exceptional achievement and service to the University and its regions by conferring Honorary Awards in accordance with the Governance (Honorary Awards and Titles) Rule and Procedure.

Nomination process

The Vice-Chancellor will invite nominations for honorary awards each year, which must be received in time for the November Nomination and People Committee meeting. Senior academic leaders, the professoriate and Advancement Office should be encouraged to make nominations.

The Nomination and People Committee (the Committee) will consider all nominations referred by the Vice-Chancellor at the November meeting and, in accordance with the Rule, may either:

1. approve that an offer of an award is made to the proposed recipient,
2. defer the nomination for consideration at a future date (a date need not be specified),
3. refer the nomination back for amendments or further information; or
4. decline the nomination.
