French term or phrase: jury de sortie
On a diploma from Ecole Polytechnique:

I assume this must be a jury or panel that decides whether or not a student may graduate, but don't know how to render this in English. Thank you in advance for any ideas!

agree  Evans (X): yes, award rather than awarding
