MATRICULATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTAIN PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

Grace 3 of 26 September 2018

1. In order to matriculate as an undergraduate student or an affiliated student under Statute B I 1(a) or (d), or as a student in such other classes of persons qualified to matriculate as may be determined by Ordinance1 which are not governed by the General Regulations for Admission as a Graduate Student, a person must satisfy the requirements for matriculation by showing evidence of a broad educational background and good standards of literacy and numeracy, and by demonstrating in public examinations high academic attainment, or the potential for such attainment, in the chosen areas of study. They must also meet any stated prerequisites for their intended programme of study, as published from time to time on behalf of the University.

2. Persons shall satisfy the requirements for matriculation under these regulations if they satisfy the requirements judged to be appropriate by the admitting College or other body authorized to admit persons as students of the University; in taking each decision a College or body shall have regard to such advice as may be issued from time to time by the General Board.

3. If a person is not in the judgement of the College or body completely qualified in accordance with Regulation 2, but the College or body believes that the person is fit to be admitted as a candidate for honours, the College or body may deem the person to be qualified. In taking such a decision a College or body shall have regard to such advice as may be issued from time to time by the General Board.

4. A College or body shall supply such information about compliance with the examination requirements for matriculation or about a decision taken under Regulation 3 in the report of a student or students admitted as the General Board shall require in any particular instance or generally.
