[~;ub-rule (1C) may overcome your query. However it only :rncceeds on the assumption, which is also made i. 1 your 'omnents, that sub-rules ( 1A) and ( 1B) are also the sub-rules under which a person who does not hold a degree is admitted. :: would argue that he is admitted under sub-rule (2). If you agree with my last comment then perhaps sub-rule (2) ahould be amended to make it clear that admissions for a person who does not hold a degree may be made for a fulltime or part-time course. Alternatively it may be necessary to repeal rule 3 and substitute two new rules, one covering entitlement to admission with or without a degree (and who grants that admission) and the other covering admission to full-time or part-time degrees].
