ADMISSION WITH ADVANCED STANDING.
Applicants from other universities and from colleges affiliated
with the University of Virginia will be admitted to advanced standing
as candidates for degrees from this University upon presentation
of proper certificates, covering the courses for which credit is
desired. Such certificates must be filed with the Dean of the Department
in which the student is registered. They must be acceptable
both to the Dean and to the Professor in charge of the course accredited.
The certificate must bear the official signature of the head of the
college; must specify the character and content of the course followed by
the student; must give his marks, which should in no case fall below
the standard seventy-five per cent. of this University; and must recommend
the student as worthy of admission to the University of
Virginia in respect of both character and scholarship. The final validation
of such certificates is effected by the successful completion of
the courses attended in this University.
Students from training schools, in which the work of the upper
classes is approximately of collegiate grade, will be granted advanced
standing in English, Mathematics and the Languages, provided they
are recommended officially and in writing for such advanced standing
by the principal of the school. Such students must, however, in every
case, attend the lectures and pass the examinations here in the last
year of the undergraduate work of every course elected. High
School courses in Science are in no case accepted as grounds for advanced
standing.
Any student admitted with advanced standing to the B Course in
English, or Mathematics, or Latin, or Greek, or French, or German,
or Spanish, who passes on the Fall Term in such course, may be allowed
credit for an additional unit in his Entrance Electives.
