ADMISSION BY CERTIFICATE.

In lieu of the foregoing examinations the candidate may be admitted
upon certificate from

1. A recognized institution of collegiate rank.

2. A Virginian public high school accredited by this University.

3. A Virginian private academy accredited by this University.

4. The American College Entrance Examination Board.

5. A properly accredited high school outside Virginia.

In the last class are included only such high schools as are accredited
by their own state universities or by institutions of higher learning with
equivalent rank.

The best certificate in all cases is a diploma of graduation from the
college or high school. If the candidate has not completed the course
required for graduation, the certificate presented must bear the official
signature of the head of the school; must specify the character and
content of each course offered as the equivalent of one of the entrance
examinations of this University; must give the length of time devoted to
the course; and must state the candidate's grades, which must be at least
seventy-five per cent. These certificates of preparation should be submitted
to the Dean of the University not later than September first. In default
of an acceptable certificate presented in due time the candidate will be
required to take the regular entrance examinations before being registered
as a student.
