APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY EXPENSES
The figures in the following table may be taken as a fairly accurate
approximation of necessary expenses for a session of six weeks. Necessary
expenses are reckoned as University and tuition fees, laboratory fees, lodging
and board. If a student shares a room with another student, and practices
the strictest economy, he may possibly reduce his expenses below the estimate.

$55.50-67.75 | $48.25-58.25 | $75.50-87.75 | $68.25-78.25 |
Medical Fee.—The medical fee of 75 cents which is charged each person
who registers each term entitles him or her to free medical attention by the
Summer Quarter Physician. Dr. Staige D. Blackford is the Summer Quarter
Physician for the first term and Dr. Oscar Swineford, Jr., for the second
term. They may be located at the University Hospital, telephone No. 548.
Their office hours will be in the Student Physician's Office from 9:00 to
10:00 A. M., 4:00 to 5:00 P. M., and Saturdays and holidays 12:00 Noon to
1:00 P. M. only. Students will be seen at other hours only in cases of emergency.
Moderate charges will be made at the University Hospital under the
following regulations:
Medical Attendance.—Any student who is temporarily ill from causes
not due to his own misconduct is entitled, without charge, to all necessary
medical advice from the Physician of the Summer Quarter; and, if necessary,
to nursing in the University Hospital at the usual charge for maintenance
while there. The medical fee does not apply to cases requiring consultation
with another member of the Hospital Staff and does not apply to
cases requiring surgical operations and for special treatment of the eye, ear,
nose and throat or to constitutional disorders from which the student in question
was suffering at the time of coming to the University. Nor is the University
responsible for expenses incurred through the employment of private
nurses, necessitated either by severe illness of the student or through the
maintenance of quarantine precautions. In every case when a student is admitted
the Summer Quarter Physician, he or she should inquire about the cost in
advance so that no misunderstanding may arise.
Teachers' Preventorium.—Virginia teachers attending the University of
Virginia Summer Quarter who are members of the Virginia Education Association,
and who have made the required contribution of $4.00 to the
Preventorium Fund, may receive hospital service at the Preventorium by first
making application to C. J. Heatwole, Executive Secretary, Richmond, Va.
Late Registration and Transfer Fees.—Students who fail to register on
the days specified for the purpose must pay a special fee of $1.00. Registration
is not completed until all fees are paid; therefore, if fees are not paid
on the registration days, $1.00 is added to the total of fees charged.
A fee of $1.00 is charged for each change from one course to another after
registration has been completed.
No auditors or visitors are allowed in classes unless this privilege is mentioned
in the description of the course. All who attend must be regularly
registered and enrolled.
Refund of Fees.—Students who withdraw within the period allowed for
registration and changes in program, that is, within the first week of the
session, will be reimbursed the full amount of tuition fees and half the laboratory
fees, but no other fees.
Students who withdraw after the time allowed for registration and
changes cannot be allowed reimbursement for any fees.
Formal application for withdrawal, by notice to the Registrar before
leaving the Summer Quarter, must be made and permission granted or no
remission of fees will be allowed.
Payment of Fees and Other Expenses.—The Bursar does not cash personal
checks, but will accept them in payment of the exact amount of fees,
and they will be accepted at the Commons for meal tickets. Students should
provide themselves with Travelers checks, or New York Drafts, which may be
obtained from their home banks, or Postal Money Orders.
A Branch of the Peoples National Bank of Charlottesville is located at
the University where accounts may be opened, if desired.
Time and Place of Recitations and Lectures.—Recitations will begin in all
courses Tuesday, June 16, at 8:30 A. M. There will be no classes on Saturdays
in the first term except Saturday, June 27. The length of recitation
periods is one hour, ten minutes of which will be allowed for transfer from
one room to another.
Sunday Vesper Service.—The Vesper Services held in McIntire Amphitheatre
every Sunday evening at 7:30, draw thousands not only from the
Summer Quarter but from the community. They consist of a religious address
by a distinguished speaker, special music by the Vespers Choir and individual
soloists, community singing and selections played on the big pipe
organ in the amphitheatre. These Vesper Services have always proved to be
one of the most attractive features of the Summer Quarter.
The Vespers Choir.—This Chorus is conducted along the lines of a city
church choir of high standards. Students of the Summer Quarter, both men
and women, particularly those with some experience in choral singing, are
invited to join; membership is limited to thirty. Regular rehearsals are held
each Tuesday and Friday from 12:30 to 1:30 in the Music Room when
programs will be prepared to be given during the Vesper Services. The organization
takes place Wednesday, June 17, at 7:30 P. M., in Madison Hall.
General Assembly.—On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 7:30 to
8:00 o'clock, a general assembly of students and faculty will be held in Cabell
Hall. The program will be informal and varied, and will be musical, devotional,
educational, or recreational. Assembly will be under the direction of a
faculty committee, and will be led by members of the faculty and prominent
visiting speakers. On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday there will be gatherings
on the lawn in front of the Halls for games, singing, dancing, etc., thus
affording an opportunity for students to become acquainted.
Final Exercises.—The Final Exercises will be held Friday evening,
August 28, at 8 o'clock, at which time degrees will be conferred.
Registration in Person.—Those students who will need advice before
registering will register in person on June 12, 13, 15, in Peabody Hall.
No student will be allowed to attend any class until his registration has been
completed. Registration is completed and the student's card filed only after his
fees have been paid in full. No student will be enrolled in any course without a
card showing that he has been regularly registered for such a course and that his
fees have been paid. Students are urged, therefore, to register and pay fees
promptly on the days designated for that purpose.
A delayed registration fee of $1.00 will be charged all persons after June
16.
The Registrar's office, located in Peabody Hall, will be open continuously
from 8:30 to 4:30 P. M. on registration days. Students should consult freely
with members of the Faculty in case of difficulty in choosing courses. No
certificate will be granted to students who fail to register before Tuesday,
June 23, except a certificate of attendance.
Registration by Mail.—Registration may be completed by mail to June 8.
For the necessary blanks, address, Registrar, Summer Quarter, Box 1337, University,
Va.
Registration by mail is intended only for those who know the program
of studies which they will take. All such prospective students are urged to
register by mail. This will avoid the great congestion on registration days,
and enable the students to arrive a day or two later. Students who register
by mail are not expected to pay fees until after arrival at the University.
Classes of students who should register by mail:
Teachers who are working on a prescribed program of study. These
students should send in an official transcript of their credits to the Registrar.
More careful attention can be given to the planning of such students' work
than if left until the Registration days.
Graduates of accredited High Schools, who are beginning work toward a
teacher's certificate. As the work for such students is outlined for them, there
will be no difficulty in their registering by mail.
Teachers from out of the State. The work of such students is outlined
by the Board of Education of their own State and therefore, they would not
need advice in planning their work.
College Students who have decided on a definite course of study.
Procedure for Registration by Mail.—After receiving the registration
blank from the Registrar, the student should answer all questions on the front
of the card, and on a separate sheet of paper, list the classes which he wishes
to pursue. After this card is returned to the Registrar, if the program is
approved, the Registrar will fill in the classes on the back of the registration
card. A list of the fees due will be sent to the student. Upon arrival
at the University, the student should go immediately to the Bursar, in Monroe
Hall, pay his fees and receive a card showing he may enter the classes for
which he registered. Upon payment of fees, registration will be considered
complete and the registration card filed in the Registrar's office.
The General Library.—The General Library is open to the corps of instructors
and the students of the Summer Quarter, from 9 A. M. to 9:30
P. M. The collection contains about 130,000 volumes.
All books withdrawn from the library must be charged at the desk.
Usually books are lent for one week but there are exceptions, and the loan
expires on the dates stamped in the book. Prompt return not later than the
date on which the loan expires is expected and borrowers will be fined ten
cents for each day delinquent. Students are expected to give prompt attention
to all communications from the librarian.
At the end of each term, the names of students who owe library fees or
who have not returned borrowed books, are sent to the Registrar. No grades
or credits are issued for such students until their names have been cleared
at the library.
The Heck Memorial Library.—The Department of Education maintains
its own library in Peabody Hall, named in honor of the first professor of
Education in the University, the late Professor William Harry Heck. At
present the library consists of over 9,300 well selected volumes covering most
fields of Education, and files of national, state, and foreign publications. This
library will be open from 8:30 A. M. to 9:30 P. M.
Rest and Study Rooms.—Madison Hall, the beautiful building of the Students'
Union, will be open to students and Faculty of the Summer Quarter,
from 9 A. M. until 10 P. M. Students will have access to the current periodicals
in the reading room. The other rooms will be used for rest, for study,
for recreation, and for social gatherings.
The Secretary in charge requests the co-operation of all and invites the
students to make Madison Hall "home" while at the University.
The New Memorial Gymnasium.—The new Memorial Gymnasium is situated
between the athletic field and the University golf links, and offers
180 by 96 feet, with a 10-foot running track gallery of 12 laps to the mile.
There is also an auxiliary gymnasium 30 by 70 feet. The swimming pool is
30 by 75 feet, with a gallery for spectators. A general locker room provides
for 1,700 full-length steel lockers, with two shower rooms. There are also
spacious locker rooms and baths for home and visiting teams as well as
special rooms for boxing, fencing, and wrestling, and three handball courts.
The administration wing includes offices for the staff, examination rooms and
a large lecture room.
Twenty-four excellent tennis courts grouped around the new Memorial
Gymnasium will be open to the students of the Summer Quarter. A small
maintenance fee will be charged for their use.
Students' Mail.—In order to insure safe and prompt delivery of mail,
every student should have all mail directed to University, Virginia, giving
always the street and number of his or her boarding place or the number
and location of his or her room in the University. The local address should
be filed at the post office promptly upon arrival.
Before leaving, each student should file at the post office his or her forwarding
address; otherwise, mail without return address which comes after
the student has departed, will be sent to the dead letter office.
Regulations Concerning Credit.—The instructor giving each course will
keep the class grades and attendance, hold the examination and average the
class grade with the examination grade, returning to the Dean of the Summer
Quarter the general average grade of each student in each course. Absence
or delayed entrance will be counted against the student. All examinations
must be held under the Honor System. A report of each course completed
will be signed by the Registrar of the Summer Quarter and mailed to
the student. Each student who wishes his or her report sent should file with
the Registrar not later than July 19, the First Term, or August 16, the
Second Term, a self-addressed stamped envelope.
Entrance Credit.—Where college courses in the Summer Quarter are
taken to absolve conditions or to meet entrance requirements, no more than
3 units of entrance credit may be obtained in a full quarter.
College Credit.—
I. University of Virginia College Credit.—Below are stated the conditions
upon which credit in the University of Virginia may be granted for
work done in the Summer Quarter.
(a) The student must satisfy the entrance requirements of the University
of Virginia and matriculate before he can receive credit in the College
for any work done in the University of Virginia Summer Quarter.
(b) The Dean of the College will accept the completion of courses in the
Summer Quarter in lieu of the entrance examinations in the same subjects,
provided that in his judgment the courses are equivalent to those accepted
for entrance to the University of Virginia.
(c) The Dean of the College will accept for degree credit certificates of
completion of Summer Quarter courses in the University of Virginia, provided
that such Summer Quarter courses be approved by the University of
in character and scope of the corresponding courses in the winter session of
the University.
(d) Any course for which credit on a baccalaureate degree is allowed
in this University must be a complete course, i. e., not a fraction of a
course. For example, one or two terms only of a three-term course cannot
be counted toward a degree. Similarly, when work is done elsewhere,
one semester alone of a two-semester course cannot be counted toward a
degree. However, combinations of fractions of courses may be allowed to
count as complete courses with the approval of the Schools and Departments
concerned.
All courses for which degree credit is designated in this catalogue have
been thus approved and will be accepted by the Dean for such credit as is
indicated in the description of each course.
(e) Students, both men and women, who satisfy entrance requirements
will not only receive credit in the University of Virginia for college courses
taken in the Summer Quarter, but the summer work is recognized by standard
colleges everywhere, so that students have no difficulty in securing transfer
of credits.
(f) Graduate courses completed in the Summer Quarter if approved by
the Committee on Graduate Studies, shall be credited just as if they were
taken in the regular session; residence work aggregating three Summer Quarters
shall be considered as fulfilling the residence requirements for the Master's
degree.
(g) Every applicant for a degree in the Summer Quarter must spend the
last three quarters in residence at this University.
The above regulations regarding college credit hold also for the Department
of Education.
II. Credit from Other Colleges.—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 Summer Quarter a
certificate covering the courses for which college credit is desired. The
certificate must bear the signature of an official 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 such certificates is effected by the
successful completion of the courses taken in this University. In no case will
credit be given on more than 45 session-hours of work done elsewhere, and
any candidate who receives this maximum amount of credit can count among
the remaining 15 session-hours required for his degree only the credit value
of the courses he has passed as a resident student in the Summer Quarter.
Every applicant for a degree in the Summer Quarter must spend the last
three quarters in residence at this University.
