I want an assessment from external referees for a cum laude designation. What should I do?

A member of the assessment committee canindicate that a thesis is worthy of a cum laude predicate and suggest referees. If the assessment committee unanimously indicates cum laude worthy then the Faculty Beadle or a member of staff of the graduate school will enter the names of the referees and the Dean must approve these.

After this approval, the referees will be asked to assess the thesis. If the referees are of the unanimous opinion that the thesis is worthy of a cum laude predicate, a cum laude certificate will be requested from the printer. If a cum laude predicate is awarded during the PhD ceremony, this will be registered by the PhD degree registration Office.
