University of Virginia Library

SPECIAL STUDENTS.

Applicants for admission to the Engineering Department, who are
twenty years old, and desire to enter for the pursuit of special elective
courses, must present adequate proofs of good character and of the
needful maturity and training. Such applicants are then registered as
Special Students, and are admitted without formal examination to the
privileges of the University, but not as candidates for any titled degree.
Such students pay the University Fee of $40, a Tuition Fee of $25 for each
class attended, and the proper Laboratory Fees ($5 per class in Applied
Mathematics and Engineering; $35 in Analytical Chemistry). Virginians
have free tuition in the Academic Schools.

Under the general elective plan of this University, many young
men, who cannot afford to take the regular four-year course, qualify
themselves by such studies for highly successful professional careers.
Any student, who possesses a good working knowledge of Pure Mathematics,
including the processes of the Differential and Integral Calculus,
and some acquaintance with the Natural Sciences, may attempt with
success the following shorter course in Engineering:

First Year.—Applied Mathematics 1 and 2. Engineering 1.

Second Year.—Applied Mathematics 3 and 4. Engineering 2.

Upon its completion he receives a diploma of graduation in Applied
Mathematics and Engineering. No student, who is deficient in mathematics,
will be allowed to enter upon this special course.
