The honour of Fellowship of the University of Strathclyde was introduced in 1988. Different from an honorary doctoral degree, it was bestowed by the University Court in appreciation of notably long and distinguished service to the governance of the university. Recipients were presented for admission to Fellowship at the regular degree congregations of the university.
The register records each Fellow's name, signature, and date of admission to Fellowship.

Loose pages recording the conferment of the honorary degree of Doctor of Science upon Professor Sir Charles Kuen Kao at a ceremony held in Hong Kong, 22 September 2010, and the conferment of the honorary degree of Doctor of Science upon Charles Hard Townes at a ceremony held in San Francisco, 31 January 2011.
These details are recorded on loose pages because the bound volume was not taken to the overseas ceremonies.

Each year, the University of Strathclyde awards a small number of honorary degrees to people who have made an outstanding contribution to academia and learning, to the university, to society (nationally and/or internationally) or to enterprise or business in their particular field. Honorary degrees are now conferred at the university's regular summer and autumn degree congregations, but were formerly awarded at the annual University Day ceremony (previously known as Commemoration Day). Honorary degrees have also been conferred at congregation ceremonies arranged for specific occasions, such the opening of new buildings on campus.
The registers record each honorary graduate's name, signature, the title of degree conferred, and the date.
