First order Grades are just like Blue Lodge you just get em and at least in NM can be given in any order. To move beyond though you must present a research paper

Can be given in any order?
In here, I°-IV° has to be 6 months apart from each one, except from a dispensation. No papers are needed.
V° you need to be in the society for 4 years and IV° for 1 year, and also it’s the prerogative of the Chief Adept to give that Grade out. VI° and VII° are also prerogative of the Chief Adept (equivalent to a ProvGM), normally require one year of the previous grade.
VII° entitles to be the Celebrant of the College (like WM in the Craft Lodge)
VIII°, 8° and 9° are prerogative of the Supreme Magus (equivalent to GM)
I°-IV° are considered similar to Craft Lodge EA-MM
V°-VII° are similar to Provincial Grand Ranks
VIII°-IX° are like Grand Ranks
