The whole of the required subjects must be passed at one, or not more than two examinations, and a candidate may offer himself for re-examination as often as may be necessary to satisfy this condition.

(3) Attendance on a Class in Mathematics or Natural Philosophy will not qualify for Graduation unless the candidate, before entering the Class, has passed in Mathematics on the Higher Standard, or on the Lower and Intermediate Standards, in the Preliminary Examination.

(4) Attendance on a Class in Latin or Greek will not qualify for Graduation unless the candidate has previously passed Latin or Greek on the Higher Standard in the Preliminary Examination.

(5) Attendance on a Class in French, German, or other language, will not qualify for Graduation unless the candidate has previously passed the Preliminary Examination in that language.

(6) As a general rule, attendance on a Class does not qualify for Graduation unless the candidate has passed the whole of the Preliminary Examination. But a student who has passed in Latin, or Greek, or Mathematics, on the Higher Standard, may attend a qualifying Class in such subject or subjects without having passed in the other subjects of the Preliminary Examination.

(7) No candidate is allowed to present himself for examination in any subject qualifying for Graduation until he has passed the whole Preliminary Examination.

(8) Students are strongly recommended to pass their Preliminary Examination in full before Matriculating.
