Making a nomination

• Individuals may not self-nominate or make nominations.

Alignment between the Vice-Chancellor's Awards and College Awards

• All College Education Awards should, as far as possible, align with the Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Excellence in Education.
• Application documentation for the College Awards and Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Excellence in Education should generally be aligned.
• Each College should develop evidence-based criteria, processes and guidelines consistent with the University, and national awards, process.
• Colleges would not, however, need to provide the level of detail required for the national awards evaluations and would not be expected to follow national award procedures for their internal College assessments.

Presentation

• The Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Excellence in Education are formally presented at the end of each year.
