Consultation
The Division of Student Administration were consulted in replacing the Academic and Ceremonial Dress Order 2014 with this Rule. The ceremonial dress for the new position of Provost was determined after consultation with the Division of Student Administration, the Provost, the Vice-Chancellor and the Chancellor.
The College and discipline colours have been updated to reflect the new structure for the ANU College of Health and Medicine, ANU College of Science, and the disciplinary separation for ‘medicine and health studies’. This has not changed existing colours, just clarified the new college structure.
As approved by Professor Brian P. Schmidt,
Vice-Chancellor of the Australian National University on 23 May 2018
