6. Instruction in drawing is provided at the School of Art. Certificates from the master of the School of Art that the prescribed courses in drawing have been gone through to his satisfaction will be required in all cases. 7. Examinations in the different branches of study are held in the month of October in each year, and students who have attended any course of lectures in the Mining School, and who have passed the examination in such course, will receive certificates to that effect. If a student fail to pass the October examination in any subject, an opportunity will be given him to pass in the same subject in October of the following year; and if he again fail to pass, he will be required to attend the lectures in that subject a second time. 8. It is competent for the Professorial Board to grant exemption from attendance at any course of lectures in the mining school to such students as produce satisfactory evidence that they have received sufficient instruction in the subject of which these lectures treat; but such students are, notwithstanding, required to pass the October examination in that subject. 9. Students who have passed the first section of the degree examination in the New Zealand University, and graduates of the New Zealand University, or of any University recognised in the statutes ad eundem of the New Zealand University, shall be exempted from examination in subjects which they have already passed at their respective Universities, but none shall be exempted from examination in physics, natural science, or chemistry, unless he has gone through a practical as well as a theoretical course of instruction. Those who are entitled to complete exemption from attendance at lectures and examinations in subjects indicated above, and who enter subject to the provision stated in Eegulation 4, can complete the course of study in any of the first three divisions of the mining school in two years by following the special curriculum prescribed for the chosen division. 10. Students who have passed the class examinations in all the branches of study prescribed for any division are entitled, without further examination, at the termination of their course to the diploma or certificate of that division ; provided that students of the mining division shall be required before receiving their diplomas to produce satisfactory evidence that they have spent at least twelve months in practical study in mines, and that students of the surveying division shall be required to produce satisfactory evidence that they have had six months' practice in mine and land surveying. 11. The certificates of all the divisions of the school are signed by the Chancellor or ViceChancellor of the University, the Chairman of the Professorial Board, and the Director of the School of Mines, and are sealed with the seal of the University. 12.
