B.COM. DEGREE

NEW REGULATIONS REGISTRAR’S INTERPRETATION The Wellington Accountant Sturients’ Society, in a recent letter to the education committee of the New Zealand Society of Accountants, expressed the view that, under the new B. Com. regulations, students who had contracted for tuition at colleges apart irom the university were at a serious disadvantage. The students’ society now* advises that the regulations have been clarified by the Registrar of the University of New Zealand, who interprets them as follows: — "Students who have commenced the course prior to 1941 under the old B. Com. regulations are entitled to cont nue under these regulations till the 1944 examination, and any subjects passed in the professional accountancy examinations, other than the joint paper, trustee and bankruptcy law. will be credited to the new B. Com. de. 1 gree without the necessity for keeping terms. A student has the right to change over from the old B. Com. syllabus to the new at any time before the 1944 examinations, but if this right lias not been exercised he must make the change after the 1944 examinations. "The terms ‘students who have commenced the course prior to 1941’ is defined as meaning students who have sat a section of the examination prior I to 1941 and not, as is commonly thought, students who have actually passed a section of the examination prior to 1941.”
