REGULATIONS.

CONDUCT OF EXAMINATIONS.

1. No person, other than those whose duties require them to be present, will be allowed in the rooms during the examinations. No instructors will be allowed on the premises.

2. Candidates must be placed so as to prevent one copying from another, and no communication whatever between the candidates will be allowed.

3. All books necessary for the use of candidates will be provided by the Examiner. Candidates are not permitted to take into the examination-room any books, papers, or memoranda of any kind whatever.

4. Candidates in drawing will be provided with drawing-boards and T squares, if necessary, but they must bring with them any drawing instruments which they may require.

5. Candidates will be allowed (in the time allotted) to cancel any part of their work, and, when required, additional papers will be supplied by the Examiner. Candidates must not work out the problems on anything but the paper supplied by the Examiner. The additional papers must be attached to and form part of the examination-papers.

6. In the event of any candidate being discovered referring to any book or paper, or copying from another, or affording any assistance or giving any information to another, or communicating in any way with another, during the time of examination, he will be regarded as having failed in his examination.

7. If a candidate leaves the room before answering any question which has been given him, he cannot afterwards be permitted to answer it, but the Examiner may substitute other data or another question.

8. Perfect silence is to be preserved in the examination-room.

9. Any candidate violating any of the foregoing regulations, or being guilty of insolence to the Examiner, or of disorderly or improper conduct in or about the examination-room, will render himself liable to the postponement of his examination, or in the event of his having passed, to the detention of his certificate for such period as the Board of Examiners may direct.

10. In order to secure a pass in the written part of the examination which includes drawing, a candidate is required to obtain at least two-thirds of the possible marks.
