matricula

It shall be the office of the Registrar, to keep the matricula, or register, in which the names of all persons who shall be admitted members of the University shall be inrolled; to attend the Convocation as secretary, and to keep registers, in which all degrees conferred, and other proceeding of the Convocation, shall be entered.

To graduate, if in arts, the student must, for a bachelor's degree, have obtained two matriculas, that is, he must have attended lectures two years, and must, at the public examination, have been twice approved; and to be master of arts, he must have gained three matriculas.

Safeguards are not in place to prevent multiple issuance of matriculas to the same individual; in fact, the INS has already reported finding multiple cards in different names issued to the same person.
