Posthumous awards
If a student has passed away, a family member can request a posthumous award. This is subject to approval by the University Council.
The family has three options:
- in attendance graduation, with a family member representing the deceased student at an official celebration
- in absentia graduation, with a family member receiving the award certificate by mail
- a private occasion where the family receives the award from the student’s faculty.
The family can advise Monash Connect of their preferred option through our online enquiry form.
