CREDIT IN OTHER COLLEGES.

The work of the Summer School is recognized by standard colleges
everywhere, so that students who satisfy the entrance requirements of these

courses for which University of Virginia college credit is allowed, but for
a very large number of other courses, professional and vocational, which
are not offered in the regular session of the University. These courses are
numbered from 100 to 199 in the summer school catalogue.

VIRGINIA STATE CERTIFICATES.

Courses are offered meeting the requirement of the Department of
Public Instruction for every form of summer-school certificate issued by
the Department, but especial emphasis is placed upon courses leading to
the summer-school professional certificate—high-school grade—which entitles
the holder to teach in the high schools of the State.
