ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
Admission from Secondary Schools.—The general requirements for admission
to the University may be found on page 129. For admission to the
College of Arts and Sciences, the candidate should possess an amount of
preparation which is at least the equivalent of that represented by four years
of successful work in an accredited school. He must offer, either by certificate
or by examination (see page 131), fifteen units, of which three must
be in English, two and one-half in Mathematics (one and one-half in algebra,
one in plane geometry), and one in History. The remaining eight and
one-half units may be selected at will from the list on page 130, but no credit
will be given for less than two units in any foreign language. Candidates
who expect to apply for the degree of B.S. in Architecture should offer Solid
Geometry and Physics if possible.
Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry should
offer Inorganic Chemistry and Solid Geometry when possible.
In addition to the above requirements, each candidate must pass at the
University a qualifying examination in English, supplemented by a test of
general scholastic aptitude. This examination will be held in Memorial Gymnasium
at 10 A. M., Wednesday, September 12. Any candidate who does
not take the qualifying examination at this time will be charged a delayed
examination fee of ten dollars, and will be required to pass a later examination
before his registration can be completed.
(Note: Principals of secondary schools may make arrangements with the
Dean to hold the qualifying examination at their schools on a designated
day in April.)
Any student who fails to maintain a reasonable standard of English in
all of his college work will be required to take an additional course in English
composition or to repeat a course in order to make up his deficiency
Admission from Other Colleges.—No student suspended from another college
for scholastic deficiency or on probation in another college for scholastic
deficiency will be admitted to the College of this University in the immediately
succeeding session, unless he passes on at least three session-hours
of work in one term of the Summer Quarter of this University.
No student from another college will be admitted to the College of this
University if he has ever been suspended or on probation more than once,
or if he has ever been both on probation and suspended.
Advanced Standing is given to any candidate who, in addition to meeting
the minimum requirements for entrance above stated, can show by passing
an examination given sometime during the first month of his first session
that he has done work equivalent to that covered by any of the following
courses offered in the college: Latin A1, Greek A1, Greek A2, English A1
or A2 or A3, German A1, Mathematics A1, French A, Spanish A. Candidates
who apply for examination for advanced standing must present a
special certificate showing that the full content of the course, on which advanced
standing is sought, has been covered in a systematic manner in the
preparatory school, and in addition must present the specific recommendation
of the principal of the school that the candidate be admitted to the advanced
standing examination in question.
College Credit.—Candidates who desire credit for work done at other
colleges, must satisfy the entrance requirements for regular students, and
must, in addition, file with the Dean of the Department a certificate covering
the courses for which college credit is desired. The certificate must bear the
official signature of the head of the candidate's college, must specify the
character and content of the courses passed by the candidate, and must give
his grades. The final validation of those certificates which are provisionally
accepted is effected by the successful completion of not less than 12 session-hours
of work during his first session. In no case will credit be given on
more than forty-five session-hours of work done elsewhere, and any candidate
who receives this maximum amount of credit can count among the remaining
fifteen session-hours required for his degree only the credit value
of the courses he has passed as a resident student in the College of Arts and
Sciences, exclusive of any credit for work done in the Summer Quarter or
in any of the professional departments. In every case the candidate must
spend the last session of his candidacy, which must be a regular session of
nine months, exclusively in college work in this University; and the courses
offered as major electives must all have been completed in residence in this
University. A maximum of 15 session-hours may be granted for one year of
college work, and 33 hours for two years.
Conditioned Students.—A candidate for entrance must offer fifteen units
as defined by the Southern Commission on Accredited Schools. At least
thirteen of the units offered must be included in the list of units accepted for
admission on page 130. A student who, while able to offer fifteen units, cannot
offer fifteen units as defined in this list, may be conditioned on any two
units not including English A, B, or C, or Mathematics A1. All conditions
should be absolved before the beginning of the session following initial registration.
This may be done by passing entrance examinations or by passing
equivalent courses in the Summer Quarter. But no course taken to remove
No conditioned student may be later registered as a special student.
Special Students.—A candidate may be admitted as a special student
without fulfilling the entrance requirements above specified, provided that,
if he is a Virginian, he is more than twenty years old, or, if he is not a Virginian,
he is more than twenty-three years old, on the day of registration,
and gives adequate evidence of serious purpose and of the training needed to
pursue with profit the courses for which he is registered. No special student
may be a candidate for a degree; but such students are permitted and encouraged
to make up their deficiencies by private study or by taking courses
in the Summer Quarter. They will then be admitted as regular students,
and may be accepted as applicants for degrees, provided all entrance requirements
are met at least one academic year before the date of graduation.
Admission of Women.—Women are admitted as candidates for the vocational
degrees of Bachelor of Science in a Special Subject, Bachelor of
Science in Architecture and Bachelor of Science in Commerce. A candidate
must be at least twenty years old on the birthday preceding matriculation;
must present certificates showing graduation from an accredited public high
school, or not less than four years' attendance in an accredited private school,
with credit for not less than fifteen college entrance units obtained at least
two years before admission to the University; and must in addition show by
proper certificate the completion in a standard college, subsequent to the
credit obtained for fifteen entrance units, of at least thirty session-hours
(sixty semester-hours), of courses of college grade, in not less than eighteen
calendar months.
REGULATIONS
(1) The Session-Hour.—All courses are measured in terms of the session-hour
as a unit. A session-hour is one hour a week throughout the session
of lecture or recitation, or two hours a week throughout the session of
laboratory work.
(2) Maximum and Minimum Number of Session-Hours.—Each college
student is required to undertake each session courses aggregating at least
fifteen session-hours (with the exception noted under Probation below). This
number may be increased in the following cases:
(I) Any first-year student may take eighteen session-hours, provided
he is credited with six session-hours of advanced standing.
(II) A student not in his first year in the College of Arts and Sciences
may take eighteen session-hours, provided he (a) has passed in the preceding
session or in the third term thereof courses aggregating fifteen session-hours,
or (b) is in his graduating year and needs eighteen session-hours
for his degree.
(III) A student not in his first year may take twenty-one session-hours
courses aggregating eighteen session-hours.
(IV) Any student whose term grade (or class grade, if the term grade
is not available) for the first or second term is at least 75 per cent. in each
of his courses, may take three additional session-hours for the ensuing term.
Physical Training is not counted in the maximum and minimum requirements
detailed above.
Exceptions to the above regulations will be allowed only by special permission
of the Committee on Rules and Courses.
(3) The grade of a college student in any course either for a term or for
the session, is determined by his class standing and his examination grade,
combined in such proportion as the professor in charge of the course in
question may decide. Class standing in any course is determined by the
regularity of the student's attendance upon the lectures (and laboratory or
other similar exercises) of the course, and by the quality of his work, as indicated
by his recitation grades, written tests, laboratory work, etc. For
passing in any course in the college a grade of seventy-five per cent. is required.
(4) Exclusion from Courses, Probation and Suspension.
(I) Exclusion from Courses:
1. A student who is evidently making no real progress in a course, may,
at any time during the session, be excluded from the course by the Dean
upon recommendation of the instructor concerned.
2. A student whose term grade in a course is less than 50 per cent, or
who discontinues the course without permission of the Dean, or who is
absent without excuse from the term examination, will be excluded from
the course.
(II) Probation and Suspension:
1. Probation is a state of warning, involving withdrawal from the student
of certain privileges enumerated below. Suspension means enforced
withdrawal from the College.
2. A student will be placed on probation if, in any term, he does not
pass on six hours of work; and, if he shall be excluded from a course or
courses, he must, in order to avoid probation, pass on a number of hours
six in excess of the number from which he is excluded.
A student will be suspended if, in any term, he does not pass on three
hours of work; and, if he shall be excluded from a course or courses, he
must, in order to escape suspension, pass on a number of hours three in excess
of the number from which he is excluded.
3. A student on probation must carry at least 12 hours of work or be
suspended. A student not on probation must carry at least 15 hours of
work or be placed on probation.
Exception: A first-year student excluded from one course during the
first term is not to be placed on probation during the rest of the term. But
at the end of the term he is to be considered as having made a grade of less
than 50 per cent on the course from which he was excluded.
4. No student may remain on probation for more than two terms in
his entire college course. If his record is such as to invoke probation a
third time, he will be suspended. No student suspended a second time may
re-enter the College.
5. No student on probation may be a member of any student organization
which publicly represents the University, such as an athletic team, a
musical club or a student publication.
6. Suspension, if imposed during the session, applies to the remainder
of the regular session; if imposed at the end of the session, it applies to the
whole of the subsequent session.
7. Probation or suspension may be absolved by the completion of three
session-hours of work in one term of the Summer Quarter.
8. A student who is permitted to withdraw from the University during
the session will be re-admitted only on probation if, at the time of his
withdrawal, he was on probation. A student previously suspended will be
re-admitted only on probation.
9. The application of these regulations is automatic. A student may,
however, appeal in writing to the Committee on Rules and Courses for relief
from their application. The Committee is empowered to grant relief
for just cause.
(5) Absence from Examinations will not be excused except for sickness
on the day of examination, attested by a physician's certificate, or for
other cause which the Faculty by special order may approve. An unexcused
absence is counted as a total failure.
A student excused from more than one-half of his term examinations
on account of illness may not be a member of any student organization
which publicly represents the University, such as an athletic team, a musical
club, or a student publication, until he has passed his examinations.
No student may remain in the College if he misses all the examinations
of two consecutive terms on account of illness.
(6) Special Examinations.—A student whose absence from an examination
is excused, in accordance with (5) above, is entitled to a special examination
on a date during the regular session to be arranged between himself
and the professor in charge of the examination.
(7) Re-Examinations.—(I) A College student whose session grade in
any course falls below seventy-five per cent., but not below sixty-five per
cent., may, upon the written recommendation of the professor in charge, be
admitted to re-examination upon that course, or upon such portion of it as
September. The fee for each re-examination is five dollars, and it should be
paid to the Bursar on or before July fifteenth.
(II) A candidate for an academic degree who fails on only one of his
courses during his final session of candidacy is entitled to a special re-examination
on the work of that course before the final day, provided that he
average at least 65 per cent. on the work of the three terms, and provided
the professor in charge recommends that the candidate be granted a reexamination.
The professor in charge is to decide whether the candidate is
to stand a re-examination upon the whole course, or upon some portion or
portions of the course. No fee is charged for such re-examination.
It should be carefully noted, in connection with both (I) and (II)
above, that no student is entitled to more than one re-examination on a
given course without repeating the course.
(8) Reports.—Reports are sent at the end of each term to the parent
or guardian of each College student. These reports indicate the number of
times the student has been absent from lectures, and give his term grade
on each course. The dean will be glad at any time to furnish to the proper
person a special report on any student's standing.
In addition to the above, a report on the standing of each first year
student in the College is sent to the student's parent or guardian early in
November.
(9) Conduct.—The laws of the University require from every student
decorous, sober, and upright conduct as long as he remains a member of the
University, whether he be within the precincts or not. Drunkenness,
gambling, and dissoluteness are strictly forbidden, and the President may
dismiss from the University for the residue of the current session every student
found guilty of them, or may administer such other discipline as seems
best under the circumstances.
The President will dismiss from the University every student convicted
of public drunkenness.
In all cases of discipline, the law requires that the student must first
be informed of the objections to his conduct and afforded an opportunity
of explanation and defense.
The keeping of dogs by students within the University grounds is forbidden.
(10) Voluntary Withdrawal.—Voluntary withdrawal from the University
requires the written consent of the Dean of the University as well as the
consent of the student's parent or guardian, if he is a minor. Any student
who withdraws without permission will be recorded as having been suspended
for the residue of the current session. No student on probation may
withdraw except for imperative reasons and any student on probation who
withdraws without permission will be suspended, not only for the residue of
the current session, but also for the whole of the subsequent session.
(11) Enforced Withdrawal is inflicted for habitual delinquency in class,
habitual idleness, or any other fault which prevents the student from fulfilling
the purposes for which he should have come to the University. See also
Suspension, above.
(12) Change of Studies.—No change can be made in a student's program
of studies except with the written consent of the Dean, together with
official notification by the Registrar. No permit for change of courses will
be issued after the end of the first week of each term, except that first-year
students may make such changes within the first two weeks after the beginning
of lectures in September. Any student who drops a course without
permission will receive a grade of zero in that course; and no credit may be
received for any portion of a course attended before formal permission has
been granted as outlined above.
(13) Absence from Lectures may be excused by the Dean, but only for
sickness or other imperative cause. Any explanation of an absence which a
student has to offer must be made in writing to the Dean within one week
after the absence. But no excuse for an absence may be submitted after the
beginning of an examination period.
Each unexcused absence from a class exercise will cause one point to be
deducted from the student's term grade.
Exception: A second year student who has credit for at least 12 but less
than 27 session-hours of work is allowed one absence without penalty per
term in each course. A third year student who has credit for at least 27 but
less than 42 session-hours of work is allowed two absences without penalty
per term in each course. A fourth year student who has credit for at
least 42 session-hours of work is allowed three absences without penalty per
term in each course.
A total of more than 15 unexcused absences, (in excess of absences without
penalty), in any term will cause a student to be placed on probation.
Probation imposed for absences is called "attendance probation," and it
carries the penalties of probation imposed for failure in courses. If, in any
term, a student incurs both attendance probation and probation for failure
in courses, he will be suspended.
No student who was, for any reason, absent from more than fifty per
cent of the lectures of a course in any term can receive a grade on the
course in that term. This regulation does not apply to students on the
Dean's List or to holders of Intermediate Honors.
The laws relating to absence from the University of members of athletic
teams are found on page 357. The same regulations apply, mutatis mutandis,
to members of other student organizations.
(14) The Dean's List.—Any student not in his first year, who passed,
in the preceding term, on all courses taken, aggregating not less than 15
term-hours, with an average grade on all courses of at least 85 per cent,
will be placed on the Dean's List.
A student on the Dean's List is not subject to the regulations limiting
absence from classes, nor does absence from any class entail on such student
any penalty, affecting class standing, imposed for absence alone. But
the performance of written work and laboratory work is not affected by
these regulations.
(15) Physical Education Requirement.—All first and second year students
in the College of Arts and Sciences are required to take the course
in Physical Education unless excused by the Dean.
REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES
Full opportunity is given to any student to carry out any definite plan
of work which he may have in view on coming to the University, or which
may have been prescribed for him by those under whose direction he is completing
his education. But when no well-considered plan has been outlined in
advance, and the end in view is that for which the great majority of students
should enter college, namely, the attainment of a liberal education,
the student will be expected to enter upon regular work of the college leading
to a baccalaureate degree.
Five degrees are offered candidates for graduation in the College of
Arts and Sciences. Two of these, the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of
Science, are cultural; the Bachelor of Science in a Special Subject, the name
of which is inscribed on the diploma, the Bachelor of Science in Architecture,
and the Bachelor of Science in Commerce, are vocational degrees, designed
for those who wish to fit themselves especially for professional work.
No course offered by a successful candidate for one of the cultural baccalaureate
degrees can be offered by the same candidate as part of the work
credited toward the other cultural baccalaureate degree, nor can any work
done to remove an entrance condition be counted for any degree.
For a student who enters without advanced standing the normal time
required for obtaining a baccalaureate degree is four years, assuming that
he completes each year courses which aggregate the regular minimum of
fifteen session-hours. A student receiving advanced standing in not less than
two subjects may obtain a degree in three years, provided he is able to complete
each year eighteen session-hours. A student may materially shorten
the time required for obtaining a degree by taking courses in the Summer
Quarter for which college credit is given. For credit for work done at
other colleges, see page 212.
The requirements for the baccalaureate degrees are such as to allow a
large measure of freedom of election on the part of the individual student,
such restriction only being placed upon this liberty as is necessary to insure
at the same time the thoroughness and the breadth of culture for which
these degrees stand. In order to secure to the recipient of a degree a due
measure of acquaintance with the methods of thought characteristic of each
of the leading departments of knowledge, as well as with their subject matter,
his courses must be chosen subject to the specific requirements detailed
below.
BACHELOR OF ARTS AND BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
The degree of Bachelor of Arts or of Bachelor of Science, respectively,
will be conferred upon regular students who have completed not less than
sixty (60) session-hours of undergraduate courses, taken in conformity with
the following programme:
(1) Required Subjects.—Candidates for either cultural degree must take
30 hours of required subjects as stated below and must in addition, unless exemption
is granted on a physician's certificate, complete the two years'
course in Physical Training which is not evaluated in session-hours (see
below). Of the 30 hours of required subjects not less than 24 hours must
be taken during the first two years, and the remaining 6 hours not later than
the third year.
Foreign Languages
For the Bachelor of Arts.—Nine session-hours from two languages, of which
six must be in either Latin or Greek.
For the Bachelor of Science.—Nine session-hours from two languages, of
which six must be in either French, German or Spanish.
Mathematics
For either degree.—Three session-hours.
Natural Science
For either degree.—Six session-hours.
English
For either degree.—Six session-hours, 3 of which may be in Biblical History,
or Biblical Literature, or Public Speaking, the other 3 being in English or
English Literature.
Social Science
For either degree.—Three session-hours in History B1 or B2, or Economics
B1, or Government B1, or Sociology B1. Economics B1, or Sociology B1, if
selected, cannot be taken before the candidate's second year.
Philosophy
For either degree.—Three session-hours in Philosophy B1, Philosophy B2,
or Psychology B1.
Physical Training
For either degree.—Two years' course required of all candidates, which must
be completed during the first two years unless the candidate is excused on a
physician's certificate.
Note.—A candidate entering with advanced standing or with college
credit shall in his first, and, if necessary, continuously in subsequent sessions,
take such courses as are necessary to complete the above requirements
(1) for the first and second sessions.
(2) Electives-at-Large.—Of the remaining 30 session-hours required for
the baccalaureate degree, 18 session-hours may be elected from any courses
in the academic schools for which the candidate has adequate preparation.
(3) Major-Electives.—The remaining 12 session-hours required for either
degree, shall be known as Major-Electives. The Major-Electives shall
include at least one C course (which must require two B courses as a pre-requisite),
and must all be offered from some one of the following Major-Groups
of related subjects, except that when the Major-Group is Group III,
the candidate may offer, in lieu of a C course, any six-hour B course in this
Group, for admission to which another six-hour B course in the Group is
prerequisite. The Major-Electives must all be completed in this College or
in some professional department of this university.
Group I.—Languages, Literature, Fine Arts and Music.
Group II.—Social and Philosophical Sciences.
Group III.—Mathematical and Natural Sciences.
(4) Substitutions for Major-Electives.—The first-year course in Law, or
the first-year course in Medicine or 12 session-hours of technical courses in
one of the professional departments of Engineering or Education may be substituted
for the 12 session-hours of Major-Electives in academic subjects.
This work, which must be completed in one of the professional departments
of this University, cannot be begun by the candidate until he has spent at
least 2 sessions of 9 months each in successful work in this College, and has
at least 45 session-hours to his credit.
DEGREES WITH HONORS
The courses required for the cultural B.A. and B.S. degrees are adapted
to the powers of the average student, and any graduate of an accredited
school, who has, either by certificate or examination satisfied the requirements
for admission to the College of Arts and Sciences, if he is reasonably
industrious and regular in his studies, should obtain one of these degrees
without great difficulty in four sessions' work. In every body of students,
however, there are a number who possess greater ability and application
than the average, and whose ambition aims higher than a bare pass-mark
on their work. For the proper stimulation of such students toward the
best that they can do, and for due and authoritative recognition of unusual
ability and high achievement in studies, the Academic Faculty has instituted
the following system of Special Honors:
Intermediate Honors
A certificate of Intermediate Honors is conferred by the Academic Faculty
on the student who, during his first two regular sessions in the College
of Arts and Sciences of this University, has passed on not less than 30
session-hours, including all required A courses, without failure or reexamination
more each session.
The holder of a Certificate of Intermediate Honors, so long as he has no
grade below 75 per cent. on the work of any term in any course, is not subject
to the rules limiting absence from the University, nor does absence from any
class entail on such student any penalty, affecting class-standing, imposed for
absence alone.
The Certificates of Intermediate Honors are publicly conferred at the
Annual Convocation of the University following the session in which the honors
have been attained. The names of the holders of these certificates are
published under a separate heading in the annual catalogue of the University.
Final Honors
Final Honors are conferred only on graduation, and the diploma of B.A.
or B.S. with Final Honors states that the honors were won in a given academic
school.
A student who wishes to attain Final Honors must be accepted as a candidate
for honors two sessions before graduation. Any student who has met the
requirements for the Dean's List for two sessions may apply to become a candidate
for Final Honors. Application must be made first to the Dean, and, if
approved by him, must also be approved by one of the academic schools
which offer work for honors. A list of such schools is published annually.
Final honors are conferred on the basis of a final comprehensive examination,
both oral and written, on some field of knowledge, and not for work done in
any or all of the regular courses required for a baccalaureate degree. Honors
work involves wide and independent reading for two years, under the general
direction of the professors of an academic school. It does not require regular
attendance upon lectures or the passing of any tests or examinations, except the
final examination, though consultations and reports may be required. Its aim
is the development of a capacity for scholarly work in a field of knowledge,
rather than a mastery of required details of subject matter.
The completion of work for Final Honors may be counted as credit towards
a B.A. or cultural B.S. degree in lieu of six session-hours of electives-at-large
or major-electives. In the event that the work for honors is not of sufficiently
high quality for Final Honors to be conferred, six session-hours' credit
toward a degree without honors may be granted upon recommendation of the
academic school in charge.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN A SPECIAL SUBJECT.
The degree of Bachelor of Science in a Special Subject will be conferred
upon regular students who have completed not less than sixty (60) session-hours
of undergraduate courses, taken in conformity with the following program:
(1) Required Subjects: Candidates must complete 30 session-hours of
required subjects as stated below, not less than 24 hours of which must be
taken during the first two years, and the remaining 6 not later than the
third year.

be completed during the first two years.
A candidate entering with advanced standing or with college credit, shall
in his first, and, if necessary, continuously in subsequent sessions, take such
courses as are necessary to complete the requirements for the first and second
sessions.
(2) Major-Electives: 30 session-hours. At least two years before the
date of graduation, the candidate must select one of the schools of the Natural
or Mathematical Sciences as his Major School, and during the remainder of
his candidacy must pursue work in that School, with such other courses as shall
be prescribed by the professor or professors in charge of his Major School and
approved by the Academic Faculty.
Students applying for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Biology may substitute Biology
C1 for 3 hours of Mathematics: students applying for the degree of Bachelor of Science in
Geology may be permitted, at the discretion of the professor of Geology, to substitute Astronomy
B1 for 3 hours of Mathematics.
