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 officially
recommended 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 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 ten electives must be
taken here.
Department of Graduate Studies.—Applicants for admission to
this department as candidates for the degree of Master of Arts 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
the Committee on Academic Degrees.
Department of Medicine.—Students are admitted to advanced
standing in the second and third years under the following conditions:
1. Satisfaction of the requirements for entrance into this Department.
2. The presentation of a certificate from an accredited school of
medicine showing that the applicant has completed work equivalent to that
maintained by this Department with a grade of at least eighty per cent. in
each subject for which credit is sought. Applicants complying with these
conditions will be admitted to advanced standing without examination.
Applicants who have not completed all of the work of the year or years
preceding that to which they seek admission are admitted to the Fall
Examinations under the conditions stated in the preceding paragraph. The
right is reserved in every case to obtain satisfactory evidence of the genuineness
of a certificate by correspondence with the proper authority of the
school from which the applicant comes.
No credit can be allowed for time not spent in a regular school of
medicine; except that applicants holding the degree of A. B. or B. S. from
a reputable college or university will be admitted to the second year, provided
their academic course has included the equivalent of the first-year
medical course.
A student who is already a graduate of a reputable school of medicine
may be received as a student in this Department for the fourth year.
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.
