ADVANCED STANDING
Under the elective system of the University of Virginia, a student who has
completed courses of college or university grade in other institutions of learning
on mathematical or scientific subjects may be excused from attendance upon
these courses by the Dean, with the advice and consent of the professor in
charge, and will then be registered for the more advanced work, provided the
full entrance requirements have been satisfied.
In order to secure College Credit upon such courses toward a degree in
Engineering from the University, the applicant must show—
1. That the courses offered are coextensive with the corresponding courses
as given in the University of Virginia.
2. That his grades on them were not below the 75 per cent pass-mark of
this University.
Such credits may be granted by the faculty upon the recommendation of
the Dean and the professors in charge; but are automatically revoked by the
failure of the student to pass in the more advanced courses in the related topics.
Advanced standing in the technical engineering subjects of higher grade
than those of the Sophomore year will not be given except to graduates of other
institutions offering technical engineering instruction and then only upon special
consideration of each application for such advanced standing. No degree in
Engineering will be awarded for less than one full year's work in a regular
session of this University and the work of a candidate's last year must be performed
in residence here.
The same rules apply to Credit on Summer School Courses; except that for
courses in the Summer School of this University the examination questions
must be prepared by the professor in charge of the regular course, and the
answers must be read and graded by him.
Students, suspended from other universities, are not granted college credits
on courses previously passed, except upon explicit recommendation of the suspending
university, and after such additional tests as this Engineering Faculty
may impose.
Credits on Practice-Courses, in Drawing, or Field-work may be granted
to applicants who have gained in professional practice the training which these
courses represent. Such applicants must file with the Dean proper certificates
from the official under whom the work was done and must in every case pass an
additional practical test on the subjects for which credit is desired.
College credit is not granted for high-school work.
