The Examiners for Graduation in Arts are the Professors in the University whose subjects qualify for Graduation in Arts, together with such Lecturers in the University, and such additional Examiners, appointed by the University Court, as the University Court shall deem necessary. The Examinations are conducted in writing, and also orally if thought necessary, under regulations framed by the Senatus, subject to the approval of the University Court.

It is provided that in appointing the additional Examiners the University Court shall make the appointments for such period as will secure that all the Examiners shall not vacate their office at the same time, provided that no Examiner shall be appointed for a longer period than four years, and that no person who has held the office of Examiner for a period of three or four years shall be eligible for reappointment to the office of Examiner until he has ceased to hold the office of Examiner for not less than one year.

No person shall be appointed an additional Examiner who is a Professor, Lecturer, or University Assistant or Demonstrator in any Scottish University. The appointment of any additional Examiner during the currency of his term of office to a Professorship, Lectureship, or office as University Assistant or Demonstrator in any Scottish University, shall be held to vacate his office of Examiner. In the event of a vacancy occurring through death, resignation, or disqualification, in the office of an Examiner, or additional Examiner, occurring otherwise than by the expiration of his term of office, the vacancy shall be filled up by the University Court, and the person appointed shall be appointed for the remainder of such term only.
