Doctor of the University is an honorary degree conferred on the recipient for their contribution as a result of their studies, research, academic or community pursuits and accomplishments.
From 2004, the term honoris causa was applied to recipients whose achievements were outside of the University, but omitted for those whose contribution was made for the University.
In 2013 a change in the Special Degrees Rules allowed a nominated person who has rendered exceptionally distinguished service to the University or to society and is not a serving member of the staff of the University to be admitted to the Degree of Doctor of the University (honoris causa) - DUniv (hc) (Adel).

Due to the large number of entries, from 2018 only Professors who are awarded the title of Emeritus will be added to this list.
Professor Emeritus is an honour awarded by the University Council in recognition of distinguished service to the University over a period of time. Its conferment is usually confined to professors entering upon retirement or leaving the University to assume some other highly responsible office associated with tertiary education. The Professor Emeriti of the University of Adelaide are indicated by the title and year of conferral in brackets.
Note that date ranges indicate the period of the professorship, which is not always the same as the full period of appointment.
For confirmation of titles and date range or other enquiries relating to former staff, contact the University Archives at archives@adelaide.edu.au.
