ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE SUMMER SCHOOL
OF 1911.
The Session will begin Monday, June 19th, and close Saturday, July
29th, 1911. Monday, June 19th, will be devoted to the registration of
students. All students should register on this day. The entire faculty
of the Summer school will be in the room adjoining the Registrar's office
during June 19th for consultation. 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 Saturday,
June 24th.
Fees.—No Registration fee will be charged. The tuition fee will
consist of $5.00 for each course taken, except in the Elementary Department,
where a fee of $5.00 admits the applicant to all courses. The
Department of Public Instruction of Virginia has provided by donation
that Virginia teachers shall be entitled to all of the courses in the
Elementary School for a single fee of $3.00. Further exception is made
to the $5.00 fee in certain other courses where a special fee is mentioned
in connection with the outlined course in the Summer School Catalogue.
Before being enrolled in a class each student is required to register and
to pay all fees. No reduction of fee will be allowed for late entrance or
withdrawal. Laboratory fees will be charged in all courses in which
materials are required to be used by students or demonstrators.
Credit.—Certificates will be granted in each course in the University
Department to those students who attain a grade of 75%. This grade
will be allowed to take more than three courses without the permission
of the Director.
As a rule, students wishing University credit should not attempt
more than two courses in one summer: they must receive in all cases
permission to take more than three. In registering, students should state
what credit they desire, as arrangements for credit must be made before
taking the course.
1. Professional Certificate.—The following regulations with reference
to credits toward the Professional Teaching Certificate in Virginia have
been passed by the Board of Examiners: "Resolved, That those teachers
holding first grade or high school certificates, who attend the Summer
School of the University of Virginia, or a Summer School of equal rank,
for two sessions of six weeks each, and who make an average of 75% on
class work and examinations, in six courses, other than elementary school
subjects, shall be entitled to the Professional Certificate which shall
continue in vogue for seven years, subject to renewals from time to time."
These six courses would necessitate the work of at least two sessions
and must include at least four different subjects. No course may be
counted toward a professional certificate without the sanction of the
Director or Registrar. No course may be counted toward the professional
certificate unless the student has previously registered for that course and
paid the fee of five dollars due for such course, receiving a card of admission
signed by the Registrar and by the Bursar.
2. Credit Allowed by Other States than Virginia.—Application
has been made to other Southern States for credit equal to that accorded
by the Virginia Board of Examiners. Credits are now allowed
toward the extension of the certificates by certain other States. In some
the University Summer School instructors are appointed to hold State
examinations. In others arrangements may be made upon application
of the teachers from those States. All persons wishing to arrange for
Summer School credits with their respective school authorities should
correspond with the Director of the Summer School.
3. University of Virginia Credit.—Below are stated the conditions
upon which credit in the University of Virginia may be granted for work
done in the Summer School.
(a) The student must satisfy the entrance examination 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 School.
(b) The Dean of the College will accept the completion of the courses
in the Summer School in lieu of the entrance examinations in the same
subject, provided that in his judgment the courses are equivalent to
that the certificates of courses completed be approved by the University
of Virginia professor concerned.
(c) The Dean of the College and the professor in charge of the
school in which credit is desired will accept certificates of completion of
summer courses in lieu of A courses in the University of Virginia, provided
that such summer courses be approved by the University of Virginia
professor concerned as the full equivalent in character and scope of the
corresponding A courses in the University.
(d) Certificates of completion of certain summer courses approved
by the Academic Faculty will be accepted in lieu of portions of B
courses, provided that in each case the Dean of the College, the Faculty
Committee on Degrees, and the professor in charge of the courses for
which credit is desired certify in writing that the summer courses completed
are equivalent in character and scope to that portion of the regular
sessional work for which credit is desired.
(e) The character of the examinations and the numerical standard
(75%) required for their successful completion shall be the same as those
of the sessional examinations.
Teachers' Positions.—The University Appointment Committee receives
more demands for men teachers than it is ever able to fill. This Committee
will be glad to have well qualified teachers who are in attendance
upon the Summer School leave their applications with the Director, who is
a member of the Committee.
Board and Rooms.—Board and rooms may be had at prices ranging
from $3.50 per week, where several stay in the same room, upwards,
according to accommodations, the average being $4.50 per week. Many
of the boarding-houses are situated on, or immediately adjoining, the
university grounds. A limited number of students may, upon application,
procure rooms in the university buildings at a nominal rental to cover
actual expenses of furniture and attendance. The Commons, the handsome
new dining hall on the university grounds, is now at the service of
Summer School students. The cost of board in the dining hall will not
exceed $4.00 per week. Applications should be made as early as possible.
Reduced Railway Rates.—All students coming to the Summer School
from points south and west of Virginia should apply several weeks in
advance to their local agents for reduced rates. In case the agent has
received no instructions for selling reduced rate tickets to Charlottesville,
Virginia, the Director of the Summer School should be written to promptly
for information.
