The Board has similar functions to a Faculty, and reports to the Professorial Board. The Board governs courses conducted by the School of Educ- ation (Graduate Diploma in Education course); the School of Hospital Administration (Diploma, and Master of Hospital Administration courses); School of Wool and Pastoral Sciences (Sheep and Wool Technology (Education Option) course); De- partment of Industrial Arts (course in Industrial Arts and Graduate Diploma course in Industrial Design); and Department of Social Work (Bachelor of Social Work). Certain Schools have a dual responsibility e.g. the School of Education is responsible for the Master of Education course in the Faculty of Arts, and the School of Wool and Pastoral Sciences for the undergraduate and graduate courses in Wool Technology in the Faculty of Applied Science. The present membership of the Board of Vocational Studies comprises: Professor A. H. Willis, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Chairman). Deans of the Faculties of Engineering, Science, Arts, Archi- tecture, Commerce and Applied Science. Heads of the Schools of Applied Psychology, Education, Hospital Administration, Sociology, and Wool and Pastoral Sciences. Heads of the Departments of Industrial Arts and Social Work. Principal of the Alexander Mackie Teachers' College. The Registrar. Three members elected by the Professorial Board. Such other persons as the Board may co-opt.

Applications for special admission or admission with advanced standing to courses should be made at the Admissions Office. Local residents should apply prior to 31st December of the year preceding that in which admission is sought. Where applicable documentary evidence should be tendered with the application, and copies should accompany original documents, as this wUl allow the immediate return of the latter. Students applying from overseas for admission to undergraduate courses and to those post-graduate courses which require completion of formal lecture courses should lodge their applications prior to 1st October of the year preceding that in which admission is sought. Applications for admission to undergraduate courses from students who do not satisfy the requirements for admission (see section on "Requirements for Admission"), from students seeking admission with advanced standing, and from students who have had a record of failure at another university, are referred by the Admissions Office to the Admissions Committee of the Pro- fessorial Board. Students seeking to register as higher degree candidates should discuss their proposals initially with the Head of the School in which they wish to register. An application is then lodged on a standard form and the Admissions Office, after obtaining a re- commendation from the Head of the School, refers the application to the appropriate Faculty or Board of Studies Higher Degree Committee. The Admissions Office also receives applications from students who wish to transfer from one course to another, or seek any con- cession in relation to a course in which they are enrolled. These applications should, wherever possible, be lodged before the com- mencement of the academic year in which the concession is to apply. Students wishing to resume their studies after an absence of twelve months or more are required to apply to the Admissions Office for permission to en-rol. It should be noted that, unless BOARD OF VOCATIONAL STUDIES 11 permission has been given to defer their studies for a specified period which will not normally exceed twelve months, students will be required to re-enter the course under the regulations pre- vailing at the time of resumption. This condition will apply also to students who have been re-admitted to a course after ex- clusion under the rules restricting students re-enrolling.
