(3.) Students who are candidates for degrees are known as. Undergraduates, others as General Students.

§ IV. DEGREES.-(1.) Three baccalaureate degrees are conferred in the Faculty of Arts, those, viz., of Bachelor of Arts (B. A.), Bachelor of Letters (B. L.) and Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.)

(2.) Persons who wish to obtain University Degrees must become Undergraduates. Persons of either sex may become Undergraduates by (a) passing either one of the Matriculation Examinations or a recognized equivalent (§§ iv, 4-6, and vi), and (b) matriculating, i. e., entering their names on the Matricula or Register of Undergraduates.

(3.) Two Matriculation Examinations are held, of lower and higher grade respectively. The First Year Matriculation Examination admits to the First Year of the various courses. The Second Year Matriculation Examination admits to the Second Year of the various courses, and thus enables those who pass it to obtain their degrees at the end of three academic years.

(4.) Persons may be admitted as Undergraduates of the First Year, without Examination, on presentation of certificates from the Principals of High Schools or Academies, approved for this purpose by the Faculty, stating that they have satisfactorily completed the work prescribed for the First Year Matriculation Examination and passed satisfactory examinations therein.

(5.) Persons, who may have appeared as candidates for Junior Munro Exhibitions and Bursaries, may be admitted as Undergraduates of the First Year, without further examination, provided their examinations are approved by the Faculty.

(6.) Undergraduates of other Universities may, on producing satisfactory certificates, be admitted ad eundem statum in this University, if on examination they are found qualified to enter the classes proper to their years. But if their previous courses of study have not corresponded to the courses on which they enter in this University, they may be required by the Faculty to take additional classes.

(7.) Undergraduates must pursue, at the College, specified courses of study, which vary with the degrees for which they are candidates, but in the case of all degrees extend over four years. They must also pass the prescribed examinations according to the regulations of § x.
