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 English, 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 Rules and Courses.

Department of Law.—No admission with advanced standing is
permitted by the faculty of this department.
