may describe themselves as registered students of the Institute but not as
student members; there are no designatory initials for registered students of
the Institute. |

All students are
registered for one year initially and at the end of the first year registration
will normally be renewable for one year on payment of the prescribed fee. |
|

A student will
normally be expected to complete the examination within five years of initial
registration though further limited renewals of registration will be considered
in certain circumstances. |

All applicants are
strongly advised to submit a formal application for registration at the
earliest possible time. Special attention is drawn to the registration dates in
