THE SUMMER QUARTER.

The Summer Quarter of the University is an integral part of the University
Year, the Courses in the College of Arts and Sciences being the
same in character, method and in credit value as in the other quarters of
the year. In the Department of Education many additional professional
courses for elementary and high school teachers are given to meet
certificate requirements which are not offered in the regular session. The
Summer Quarter is divided into two terms for the accommodation of
those who can give only six weeks to the work but who desire University
credit. The First Term will begin June 21st, and will close July 31st,
with lectures five times a week. The Second Term will begin August 2nd,
and will close September 3rd, with six lectures a week. Students may
enter for either term or both.

The normal amount of work for college credit which a student may
take, is three courses with a credit value of three session-hours; but in a
few exceptional cases, by special permission of the Director and the approval
of the instructors in all the courses taken, permission may be obtained
to take more work. In all cases an additional fee of $5.00 will be
charged for each extra advanced course, and $3.00 for each extra elementary
course.

The University of Virginia Summer Quarter is conducted for teachers
and students in high schools, academies and colleges and for those who
desire professional training for primary and grammar grade work. It
also offers many courses for college credit, and others to meet the needs
of students preparing for college entrance or who have conditions to absolve.
It takes as its peculiar province, not the ordinary summer institute,

but the solid and substantial training of high school teachers, college
teachers, college students, and teachers of any grade who wish to
procure professional work.
