Dartmouth Honorary Degree Nomination Procedures

UMass Dartmouth adheres to the policy for awarding Honorary Degrees set forth by the Board of Trustees. Beginning one year from the deadline for submission, the Office of the Provost accepts nominations from campus constituents (Faculty, Staff, Students, Alumni, Donors, etc.). The Office of the Provost solicits nominations via email communications to the campus community throughout the year. All nominations are directed to the Office of the Provost. The nominations are passed from the Office of the Provost to the Office of the Chancellor for review. The nomination requests approved by the Chancellor are sent to the Faculty Senate for final review and approval. Once approved by the Faculty Senate, the Chancellor submits the nominations to President Meehan for consideration by the Board of Trustees.
