The present regulations for the Classical Tripos Examination are as follows:

Any Undergraduate or Bachelor Designate in Arts may be a candidate for Honours in the Classical Tripos of any year, if at the end of the Examination for such Tripos he shall have entered upon his ninth term at least, having previously kept eight terms: provided that not more than ten terms shall have passed after the first of the said eight terms, provided also that he has passed in the additional subjects of the Previous Examination. No student of a different standing from the above is allowed to be a Candidate for such Honours, unless lie has obtained permission from the Council of the Senate. All students who obtain Honours in the Classical Tripos are entitled to admission to the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

The Examiners for Honours in Classics are also authorized to declare candidates, though they may not have deserved Honours, to have acquitted themselves so as to deserve either an Ordinary B.A. Degree without further examination or to be excused the General Examination for Ordinary Degrees.
