1. To qualify for admission to the programme leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science by part-time study, a candidate must:
   
   
   1. satisfy the Regulations for Admission to Degree Programmes as specified in the General Regulations;
      
      
   2. satisfy the appropriate programme requirements.
      
      
2. The part-time programme of study shall extend over not less than four and not more than eight academic years. Candidates shall follow an approved pattern of study in accordance with the programme regulations set out below in order to qualify for the award of a degree.
   
   
3. A part-time candidate may enrol for courses totalling not less than 30 credit points and not more than 75 credit points in each academic year. To gain credit for a course a candidate must reach a standard deemed satisfactory by the School Board in the assessments for that course.
   
   
4. In order to qualify for the award of an honours degree, a candidate must normally register for not less than 360 credit points. Candidates who have successfully met all the requirements of their programme will be recommended to the University for the award of the degree of BSc.
   
   
5. A candidate who has initially enrolled for part-time study may, with the permission of the School Board, be eligible to enrol subsequently for full-time study as an honours degree candidate. Permission to effect such a transfer will be granted to the School Board only if an approved programme of study can be based on the courses already satisfactorily completed. A candidate, once enrolled for full-time study, would not normally be allowed to revert to part-time study.
