PERIODS OF EXAMINATION AND FEES.

The First Science Examination for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Session 1910-1911 will begin on Tuesday, 27th September 1910, and on Wednesday, 15th March 1911. Days and hours for each subject will be fixed after the names of Candidates have been received.

The Final Science Examination for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Pure Science in all the subjects for which Candidates have presented themselves will begin on Tuesday, 27th September 1910. There will also be a Final Science Examination in all subjects, except Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, and Experimental Physics, beginning on Wednesday, 15th March 1911. In regard to the three last-mentioned subjects, the Senatus have resolved that the Examination will be held once a-year only-in October. But there will be an examination for Engineering Candidates in Natural Philosophy, if any such Candidates send in their names. Days and hours for each subject will be fixed after the names of Candidates have been received. Candidates must obtain from the Secretary of the University a schedule, to be filled up and returned to him, with the necessary fee, not later than 7th September and 25th February respectively. Intending Candidates who fail to give in their names and pay the fee by the above-mentioned dates, may do so on payment of a late entry fee of 5s., up till 10th September and 28th February respectively, after which no name will be received. Candidates who propose to enter for any Prize, Scholarship or Scholarships open to competition at the time of the Final Examination, must obtain from the Secretary, fill up, and return a separate Schedule or Schedules.

In order that the period immediately succeeding the celebration of the Five Hundredth Anniversary of the Foundation of the University may be free of examinations, the Senatus have resolved that in place of the examinations usually held in September-October, First and Final Science Examinations will be held in 1911, at the close of Summer Session 1911. These will begin on Tuesday, 27th June. Schedules and fees of intending Candidates must be in the hands of the Secretary on or before 7th June, or (on payment of an additional late fee of 5s.) on or before 10th June 1911.

In December 1910 and June 1911 Final Examinations for Candidates for the subjects of the Final Examination for the

Degree of B.Sc. in Engineering will be held. These will begin on 13th December and 27th June respectively. Candidates' schedules and fees must reach the Secretary on or before 30th November and 7th June respectively, or (on payment of an additional late fee of 5s.) on or before 3rd December and 10th June respectively.

Successful Candidates who propose to graduate must give intimation of this to the Secretary as soon as possible, and not later than the day preceding the ceremonial of graduation.

Under Ordinance No. 50, Section IV., of the Scottish Universities Commission, the fee to be paid for the Degree of Bachelor of Science is fixed at six guineas. This fee is payable by instalments at the rate of one guinea for each of the six subjects of examination in Pure Science, and 18s. for each subject of examination in Engineering, for which the Candidate enters. didates who present themselves for re-examination will be charged a fee of half-a-guinea for each subject in which they are re-examined.

Can

The fees are received by the Secretary of the University, and are payable when the Candidate's schedule is returned. Candidates may pay the fees personally, or transmit them to the Secretary by Post-office or Postal Orders, or by Bank Drafts crossed Royal Bank of Scotland (St Andrews Branch). Cheques on private Accounts will not be accepted. No Candidate will be admitted to examination whose schedule has not been duly lodged and found correct, and whose examination fee has not been paid. If the Candidate is not at the time a matriculated Student of the University, he must pay a fee of half a guinea in lieu of matriculation.

Candidates who wish to be examined in any subject or subjects with a view to graduation, both in Arts and Science, must give in separate schedules, and they must at the same time pay the fee or fees applicable to each Degree.

Successful Candidates who are not already members of the General Council of the University, must also pay to the Registrar a Registration Fee of £1 before being admitted to a Degree. This fee is payable not later than 12 o'clock on the day preceding the graduation ceremonial.

Under Ordinance No. 50, Section VIII., of the Scottish Universities Commission, the fee to be paid for the Degree of Doctor of Science is fixed at ten guineas. This fee is payable in two instalments of £5, 5s. each-the first instalment to be paid on presentation of the Thesis, and the second instalment before the Candidate receives the Degree.
