Any individual who graduated from UOG earlier than 2008 is eligible to be nominated. Nominations may be submitted by any individual, independently or on behalf of a group or institution, and must have the consent of the nominee. A nomination includes a one-page nomination form, the nominee's resume, and two letters of support. Self-nominations will not be accepted. 

A total of six awards will be given to deserving individuals — one from each of the university’s schools and colleges and one to an alumnus/alumna who is serving or is retired from military service. 

Winners will receive a plaque and special recognition at the UOG Distinguished Alumni Awards Ceremony, which was scheduled for Oct. 30 but has been postponed until further notice.
