(a) The student must satisfy the entrance examination requirements
of the University of Virginia and matriculate before he can
receive credit in the College for any work done in the University of
Virginia Summer School.
(b) The Dean of the College will accept the completion of the
courses in the Summer School in lieu of the entrance examinations
in the same subject, provided that in his judgment the courses are
equivalent to those required for entrance to the University of Virginia,
and provided, that the certificates of courses completed be approved
by the University of Virginia professor concerned.
(c) The Dean of the College and the professor in charge of the
school in which credit is desired will accept certificates of completion
of summer courses in lieu of "A" courses in the University of Virginia,
provided that such summer courses be approved by the University
of Virginia professor concerned as the full equivalent in character
and scope of the corresponding "A" courses in the University.
(d) Certificates of completion of certain summer courses approved
by the Academic Faculty will be accepted in lieu of portions of "B"
courses, provided that in each case the Dean of the College, the

of the regular sessional work for which credit is desired
(e) The character of the examinations and the numerical standard
(75 per cent) required for their successful completion shall be the

It is the desire of the Summer School management to provide
a sufficient number of University credit courses to enable any student
in three summer sessions to earn one year's work towards his
B. A. degree. Those wishing University credit which does not appear
above, should correspond with the Director of the Summer
School.
Teachers' Positions.—The University Bureau of Appointments
receives more demands for men teachers than it is ever able to fill.
This Committee will be glad to have well qualified teachers who are
in attendance upon the Summer School leave their applications with
the Director, who is a member of the Committee.
Board and Rooms.—Board and rooms may be had at prices ranging
from $4.00 per week, where several stay in the same room, upwards,
according to accommodations, the average being $4.50 per
week. Many of the boarding-houses are situated on, or immediately
adjoining, the university grounds. A limited number of students
may, upon application, procure rooms in the university buildings at
a nominal rental to cover actual expenses of furniture and attendance.
The Commons, the handsome new dining hall on the university
grounds, is now at the service of Summer School students.
The cost of board in the dining hall will not exceed $4.00 per week.
Applications should be made as early as possible.
Reduced Railway Rates.—All students coming to the Summer
School from points south and west of Virginia should apply several
weeks in advance to their local agents for reduced rates. In case
the agent has received no instructions for selling reduced rate tickets
to Charlottesville, Virginia, the Director of the Summer School should
be written to promptly for information.
