Subjects from the lists of subjects for first degree courses in Building are avail- able as electives to students in Architecture on the following conditions—
(a) Architecture students wishing to undertake an elective study from the Building course must have satisfactorily completed appropriate prerequisite study ( i.e. Estimating 1 cannot be undertaken without having previously taken Measurement of Building Work 1).
(b) In 1974 such elective studies will be available to only a limited number of Architecture students, and students should consult the Sub-Dean before electing such subjects.
EXTERNAL ELECTIVE SUBJECTS.
Elective subjects may, with the approval of the faculty and the department concerned, be chosen from the subjects of the bachelor degree courses in Building or Town and Regional Planning or in schools in other faculties or boards of studies.
In considering external elective subjects for approval note will be taken of the relevance of the subject to training in Architecture. Before approving an external elective subject the faculty will need to be satisfied that time-table arrangements are satisfactory.
Points to be awarded for external elective subjects will be agreed between the faculty and the department concerned.1 Approval will not normally be given for external elective subjects totalling more than an equivalent of 10 points in any one Year, except that special approval may be given where a single external elective subject has an agreed points rating in excess of 10 points.
APPROVAL OF COURSES
All candidates must obtain the approval of the faculty for their proposed choice of subjects and the year in which the subjects are to be taken.
Any subsequent changes must also be approved. It is the responsibility of each student to report to the Faculty offiсе to obtain this approval before completing an enrolment at the Studentš Records office.
It is unlikely that all elective subjects will be offered every year. The teaching of an elective will depend on staff availability and demand from students. Approval procedures, including interviews with Sub-Dean and staff where necessary, will take place in January before authority to enrol is granted.

CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES
Limited facilities are available for persons who wish to enrol for subjects or units listed in the handbook but who are not enrolled for a course leading to a degree or diploma. Enrolments of this nature, formerly known as "single subjects"
studies will now be known as continuing education courses and will he available through the Office for Continuing Education. Fees will be charged for these
courses. .
Persons wishing to take particular subjects or units as continuing education courses should make initial application to the faculty ofice to determine availability and eligibility for these courses. Successful applicants will be notified. They will be asked to complete enrolment details (including payment of fees), with the Office of Continuing Education as soon as possible after receiving notification.
A wide variety of other courses, in addition to those in this handbook, will be available through the Office of Continuing Education. Further details are available from that office.
