Nominations for Honorary Degrees may be submitted by any member of the University community or the public on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Honorary Degrees are normally awarded at both Spring and Fall Convocations.

Brock University grants Honorary Degrees to individuals whom it recognizes as having an established record of distinguished achievement and remarkable service, who support the values of advanced learning and the pursuit of knowledge, and whose acceptance of the honour would bring acclaim to the University.

Nomination forms and guidelines are available at http://brocku.ca/university-secretariat/honorary-degrees or by contacting the Office of the University Secretariat at ext. 3334 or 4307.

The Senate Governance Committee reviews, in confidence, all nominations received and forwards its recommendations to Senate for consideration. Due to confidentiality, Senate does not report on its deliberations. Individuals nominated will remain eligible for reconsideration by the Governance Committee for up to three years. Thereafter, if not selected, the name will be removed from active consideration. A nominator may resubmit a name with additional documentation at any time.

Any member of the University community or public are encouraged to submit nominations for Honorary Degrees.
