ADMISSION WITH ADVANCED STANDING.

Applicants from other universities and from colleges affiliated with
the University of Virginia will be admitted to advanced standing as candidates
for degrees from this University upon presentation of proper certificates,
covering the courses for which credit is desired. Such certificates
must be filed with the Dean of the Department in which the student is
registered. They must be acceptable both to the Dean and to the Professor
in charge of the course accredited. 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 in no case 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 certificates is effected by the successful completion
of the courses attended in this University.

Students from training schools, in which the work of the upper
classes is approximately of collegiate grade, will be granted advanced
standing in Mathematics and the Languages, provided they are recommended
officially and in writing for such advanced standing by the principal
of the school. Such students must, however, in every case, attend
the lectures and pass the examinations here in the last year of the undergraduate
work of every course elected. High School courses in Science
are in no case accepted as grounds for advanced standing.

The College.—The programme of studies offered by the candidate
for the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science must satisfy
all the requirements of that degree as here established. He must devote
at least one full session to the studies of the College and at least three
of his electives must be taken here.

Department of Engineering.—The programme of studies offered
by the candidate for a degree in Engineering must satisfy all the

requirements of that degree as here established. He must devote at
least two full sessions to engineering studies in this University.

Department of Graduate Studies.—Applicants for admission to
this department as candidates for the degree of Master of Arts, Master
of Science or Doctor of Philosophy must present the baccalaureate
degree of an affiliated institution of collegiate rank, or in cases of
incorporated institutions of learning which confer no such degree,
the certificate of graduation on a course fully equivalent to the ordinary
collegiate course. No diploma or certificate can be accepted except
by vote of the Faculty, based on the recommendation of the
Committee on Academic Degrees.

permitted by the Faculty of this Department.
