SUBJECTS ACCEPTED FOR ADMISSION.

The Subjects accepted for Admission and their values in units are
given in tabulated form on the opposite page. Fuller Definitions of
the Units
follow immediately after. The applicant for admission may
enter either by Certificate or by Examination.

For Admission by Certificate the candidate must file with the Dean
of the University not later than September first a Certificate of Preparation,
made out on the blank form furnished by the University.
This certificate must come from some recognized institution of collegiate
rank or from an accredited high school. It must bear in all
cases the signature of the head of the school; must specify the character
and content of each course offered for entrance credit; must give
the length of time devoted to the course; and must give the candidate's
grades in percentages. Each unit in the entrance requirements
is the equivalent of one full year of high school work, including five
periods a week of at least forty minutes each during not less than
thirty-six weeks. For schools in which the number of periods given
to any study, or the length of the period, is below the standard here
specified, the credit for such study will be reduced pro rata. In the
scientific subjects two hours of laboratory instruction will be counted
as the equivalent of one hour of recitation. High school courses in
Physics and Chemistry, otherwise adequate, will be allowed half
credit, when individual laboratory work is not done by the student or
is not attested by proper note books filed with the certificate. Certificates
of preparation from private tutors will in no case be accepted;
students thus prepared must in all cases take the Entrance Examinations.

For Admission by Examination the candidate must present himself
for test at the University of Virginia in June or in September, according
to the dates given in the Programme of Entrance Examinations,
page 80. The examinations are held under the honor system,
no paper being accepted unless accompanied by the usual pledge. All
candidates who take their examinations at the times appointed are
tested free of charge. In case of delayed entrance, where the grounds
of postponement are good, the President of the University may admit
the candidate to a special examination, for which an additional fee of
five dollars is charged. The fee is payable in advance and is in no case
returned. Satisfactory certificates as to character and age are in all
cases required.
