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. No credits will be given for advanced standing based on High
School Work in the sciences.

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. In default of such a certificate, which must be acceptable both to
the Instructor and to the Dean, the student may take and pass a practical
examination on each course for which he seeks exemption from regular
attendance.
