REGISTRATION.

Registration of New Students.—Applicants seeking admission to the
university for the first time are required to present themselves to the
dean of the university at his office in the Administration Building at
some time during the first three days of the session. Each candidate
for admission must be at least sixteen years of age. In each instance a
certificate of good moral character must be presented, signed by the
proper official of the institution attended during the previous session, or
by some person of known standing. Each candidate who satisfies these
requirements, and also those for admission by diploma, certificate, or
examination previously stated, will be directed to the dean of the department
which he purposes to enter.

The dean in question will, upon being satisfied that the candidate is
fitted to enter upon the work of the department, issue to him a card
containing the names of the courses which the candidate proposes to
pursue during the session: this card must be presented in turn to each
professor concerned, who will, on satisfying himself that the applicant
is prepared to pursue the course in question with profit, sign the card and
enter the applicant's name upon the roll of the class. The card must
then be returned to the dean of the university, who will endorse upon
it the amount of fees to be paid to the bursar. On payment of these
fees the registration (for the session) of the applicant as a student of
the university will be completed.

Registration of Matriculated Students.—Students who have already
been matriculated as members of the university are required to present
themselves directly to the deans of their respective departments upon
one of the first three days of the session, and to conform, as regards
their registration in their respective classes and the payment of fees,
to the requirements stated in the preceding paragraph.

Registration after the Christmas Recess.—On the first week-day
after the Christmas Recess every student is required to register with the
dean of his department between the hours of nine a. m. and two p. m.
Any student failing to register thus, will have his name dropped from the
rolls of his classes until further order from the dean, but such student
may be registered by the dean and restored to his position in his classes
on payment so the bursar of the delayed registration fee of $3.00.

In case the delay in the student's return is due to illness, or to other
like providential cause, the dean is authorized to remit the fee and
excuse the absence; in every other case the absences due to delayed return
shall be recorded as unexcused absences; shall be so reported to the
parent or guardian of the student: and shall be given serious adverse
weight in considering the fitness of the student for graduation.

Delayed Registration.—Students are not permitted to delay their
registration through carelessness or for inadequate reasons. Any
student, new or old, who fails to present himself for registration during
the first three days of the session and between the hours of nine a. m.
and two p. m. on the first week-day after the Christmas Recess will
(except in the case of an applicant admitted to special examinations, as
provided in a previous paragraph) be admitted to registration only upon
the consent of the president, and will be charged a special registration
fee of three dollars.
