      Non Matriculated Students
      Non-matriculated students may be admitted to lecture
        classes in courses at level 7 or 8 only at the discretion of the Head
        of the School concerned.  They will be required to pay the appropriate
      single Class Fee(s). 
      Such attendance does not qualify for graduation; or entitle
        a student to attend tutorials, laboratory practical sessions or similar;
        or entitle a student to a class certificate or to submit or have marked
        any assessments; or confer any University privilege.  This category
        is designed in the main to permit persons normally resident in or near
        Edinburgh to attend lecture classes without the expectation of gaining
        any University qualification.  It is not intended for anyone who
        is studying for a qualification of another institution whether in this
      country or abroad.
