EXTENSION CLASSES

Extension teaching courses are courses of instruction corresponding
closely with those regularly given in the University by members of the
Faculty, and are conducted for the benefit of persons unable to follow
courses in residence. The classes are under the administration, supervision
and control of the University. Each course represents a definite
amount of study corresponding to an equivalent amount of work done in
residence at the University, and when completed satisfactorily by persons
meeting the entrance requirements of the University, receives the same
degree of credit as if taken in residence.

Extension Teaching Courses will be organized upon application for
them in as many centers as possible, if a sufficient number (a minimum
of fifteen) apply for them. Application for such courses should be made
to the Director, University Extension Division, University, Virginia.

Three hundred and twenty persons enrolled in Extension classes in
the year 1925-1926; forty-nine of them enrolled in two classes. The
twenty-seven classes were held in ten centers. A report of Extension
Courses for 1925-1926 and catalogue for 1926-1927 is published for free
distribution as Extension Series, Vol. XI, No. 1.
