(b) pass or obtain honours at the Victorian Matriculation Examination in Chemistry and in either Physics or a branch of Mathematics.
As provided in the Regulation (p. 47), dispensation from these pre-requisites may be granted in special cases. Applications for any such dispensations, accompanied by details of special circumstances, must he lodged with the Secretary, Faculty of Medicine, before the closing date for applications.
ADMISSION TO THE FIRST YEAR
Since the beginning of 1956, the number of students admitted to the course in Medicine has been restricted. The quota for 1970 is 220. The basis of selection is academic merit judged by reference to the Victorian Matriculation Examination. See further details concerning admission on page 39.
ADMISSION TO THE SECOND YEAR -
Students in the First Year are required to present for examination in all three subjects since the Second Year cannot be begun unless all three subjects have been passed in one examination.
Owing to limita
ti
ons of accommodation and teaching facilities, the University may be obliged to limit the admission of students toth
e Second Year. Students who pass the Division I Examination will be permitted to proceed toth
e Second Year.Other applicants (e.g. graduates and transferees from other faculties and ad eundem statum applicants) will be required to submit to any selective process for admission which the Universi
ty
finds it necessary to impose. See further details concerning admission on page 40.ATTENDANCES AT LECTURES, DEMONSTRATIONS AND PRACTICAL WORE
(Sec
ti
ons 1, 3 and 5 )Attendance at lectures is not compulsory except for students in
th
e First Year.However, attendances at demonstrations, practical work and clinical instruction are compulsory for students in all years of the course and, in addition, competent perform- ance in carrying out the duties and work prescribed in all subjects is required. Failure to comply with these requirements may lead to disqualifica
ti
on from presenting at examinations. Students so disqualified will usually be notified in writing by the Faculty of Medicine, butth
e faculty is not bound to give such noti
ficati
on.Students prevented by illness or other serious cause from satisfying attendance requirements should report their absences to the Secretary, Faculty of Medicine, so that dispensation may be granted by the faculty, if necessary.

It is a student's responsibi- lity to have the details of all certificates entered, the certificates signed by the authorized persons, and the Certificate Book submitted to the University at any time when asked by the Registrar. No student will be permitted to present for the final M.B., B.S. Examination unless all certificates have been signed by the authorized persons and the certificates submitted as evidence of the satisfactory completion of all details prescribed for the course.
The provisions in the details and time-table as to the number of lectures, tutorials, etc., and the hours of practical work are included for general guidance only, and may be modified by the faculty without notice if the necessity arises.
VACATION STUDY
Students are expected to use a considerable part of the vacations for reading and.
study purposes. In some cases specific references are made in the following details;
in others a list of suitable books will be posted on the appropriate notice-boards; in all cases of doubt the lecturers concerned should be consulted.
