has failed in that subject at the most recent rial examination, shall be entitled
to make application for permission to sit for a special examination.? Candidates will
use the same number as used for the final examinations. Application must be made
to the Registrar within 10 calendar days of publication of the examination result
in the subject.
Any student who have been involved in a change of syllabus (e.g. from the 1960
syllabus to the 1965 revised syllabus, or to the 1972 syllabus etc.) and who has
not previously obtained a statement, would be wise to do so before starting the
final semester.
Applications for awards
Students eligible to be admitted to a degree of the Victoria Institute of Colleges,
or to be awarded a diplomalgraduate diploma or certificate by this college, are
required to make application for the award on the form prescribed. Forms are
available from, and must be lodged at, the student records office, administration

receipt of application - the early receipt of-such a statement can make a significant
difference to a graduand's salary.

particular degree. Students who hope to qualify for a degree in 1976 should lodge
their application forms at the student records office by March 1976 to ensure
that the necessary certification may be completed at the earliest opportunitr.
