Process for approval and renewal

• all honorary appointments should be proposed by an established member of academic staff at the University. They should complete the Honorary Appointment Proposal Form, setting out the reasons for the proposal.
• all proposals should be approved (counter-signed) by the College Dean.
• the completed form should be forwarded to the PA to the Director of Human Resources who will arrange for the relevant Deputy Vice-Chancellor to approve the proposal.
• upon receipt of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor’s signed approval, Human Resources will write to the honorary appointment confirming their appointment.

Schools should not put a proposed start date on the proposal form which is earlier than the date the form is sent to Human Resources. Rather, Colleges should allow two months for this process to be completed and longer where a Certificate of Sponsorship is required.
