If the Dean chooses to proceed, a curriculum vitae and the names of three referees, at least one of whom is external to the University, should be obtained from the nominee. The HRM Division will request referees' reports. The Vice-Chancellor may consult with relevant University staff prior to making a decision. If appropriate, an appointment committee may be convened to interview the candidate. The HRM Division advises nominees of their appointment, provides information on relevant University policies, arranges access to library and parking facilities, and records the appointment in the University Calendar.

The title is awarded in perpetuum. Each year the Honours Committee considers all retiring professors and other senior and long serving staff members for award of these titles.

The University is committed to the concept of internationalisation and each visit provides opportunities to develop and strengthen links with other institutions around the world. For visits of four weeks or more, the HRM Division should be notified in advance, so that an information package can be sent to the visitor, access to library and parking facilities arranged, and the mailroom and telephonists advised.
