Summary of Changes from Previous Version

The Graduation Policy has been revised to update the University Medals and Dean's Medals provisions to address some concerns about the number of University Medals and their concentration in certain Schools and inequity in calculations for Dean’s Medals. References to position titles have been updated throughout to state ‘or equivalent’ to capture the relevant position in third party providers also covered by the policy. Terminology and minor formatting changes have been amended to be consistent throughout the Policy. The revised Policy was approved at the 19 June 2020 Academic Senate (AS 20/03:06).
