REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCED STANDING.
Applicants from other colleges will be admitted provisionally to
advanced standing as candidates for a degree in Engineering upon
presentation of proper certificates covering the courses for which
credit is desired. Such certificates must be filed with the Dean,
and must be acceptable both to him and to the professors in charge
of the accredited courses. The certificate must bear the official
signature of the head of the college; must specify the character and
content of the course followed by the student; must give his marks,
which should not fall below the standard seventy-five per cent. of
this university; and must recommend the student as worthy of admission
to the University of Virginia in respect of both character
and scholarship. The final validation of such a certificate is effected
by the successful completion of the courses attended in this university.
The programme of studies offered by such a candidate for his
degree in Engineering must satisfy all the requirements for that
degree as here established. He must devote
at least two full sessions
to engineering studies in this university.
Credits on Practical Work will be allowed to applicants, who
have accomplished successfully courses in Drawing, Field-Work, or
Shop-Work equivalent to those given in this university, or have acquired
in professional practice the training which these courses represent.
To secure credit for such work the student must make
written application to the Dean of the Department, and with this
application must file the certificate of the chief draftsman or other
officer under whom the work was done.
Applicants for admission to the Engineering Department, who
are over twenty years old, and desire to enter for the pursuit of
special elective courses, must present adequate proofs of good character
and of the needful maturity and training. Such applicants are
then registered as Special Students, and are admitted without formal
examination to the privileges of the university, but not as candidates
for any titled degree.
