ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE SUMMER SESSION OF 1910.
THE SESSION will begin Friday, June 17th, and close Saturday,
July 30th, 1910. Friday, June 17th, will be devoted to the registration
of students. All students should register on this day. The entire faculty
of the Summer School will be in the room adjoining the Registrar's office
from 8.45 to 1.30 for counsel, on June 17th. Students should consult
freely with members of the Faculty in case of difficulty in choosing
courses. No certificate will be granted to students who fail to register
before Wednesday, June 22nd.
FEES.—No Registration fee will be charged. The tuition fee will
consist of $5.00 for each course taken, except in the School of
Methods, where a fee of $5.00 admits the applicant to all courses.
The Department of Public Instruction of Virginia has provided by
donation that Virginia teachers shall be entitled to all of the courses
in the School of Methods for a single fee of $3.00. Further exception
is made to the $5.00 fee in certain other courses where a special fee
is mentioned in connection with the outlined course in the Summer
School Catalogue. Before being enrolled in a class each student is
required to register and to pay all fees. No reduction of fee will be
charged in all courses in which materials are required to be used by
students or demonstrators.
CREDIT.—Certificates will be granted in each course in the
University Department to those students who attain a grade of
75%. This grade will be the average of the recitation and examination
marks. No student will be allowed to take more than three
courses without the permission of the Director. This regulation does
not apply to the School of Methods.
As a rule, students wishing University credit should not attempt
more than two courses in one summer: they must receive in all cases
permission to take more than three. In registering, students should
state what credits they desire, as arrangements for credit must be
made before taking the course.
1. Professional Certificate.—The following regulations with reference
to credits towards the Professional Teaching Certificate in
Virginia have been passed by the Board of Examiners: "Resolved,
That those teachers holding first grade or high school certificates,
who attend the Summer School of the University of Virginia for
two sessions of six weeks each, and who make an average of 75% on
class work and examinations, in six courses, other than elementary
school subjects, shall be entitled to the Professional Certificate which
shall continue in vogue for seven years, subject to renewals from
time to time." These six courses would necessitate the work of at
least two sessions and must include at least four different subjects.
No course may be counted toward a professional certificate without
the sanction of the Director or Registrar. No course may be
counted toward the professional certificate unless the student has
previously registered for that course and paid the fee of five dollars
due for such course, receiving a card of admission signed by the
Registrar and by the Bursar.
2. Credit Allowed by Other States than Virginia.—Application
has been made to other Southern States for credit equal to that accorded
by the Virginia Board of Examiners. Credits are now allowed
toward the extension of the certificates by certain other States.
In some the University Summer School instructors are appointed to
hold State examinations. In others arrangements may be made upon
application of the teachers from those States. All persons wishing to
arrange for Summer School credits with their respective school authorities
should correspond with the Director of the Summer
School.
3. University of Virginia Credit.—Below are stated the conditions
upon which credit in the University of Virginia may be granted
for work done in the Summer School.
(a) The student must satisfy the entrance examination requirements
of the University of Virginia and matriculate before he can
receive credit in the College for any work done in the University of
Virginia Summer School.
(b) The Dean of the College will accept the completion of the
courses in the Summer School in lieu of the entrance examinations
in the same subject, provided that in his judgment the courses are
equivalent to those required for entrance to the University of Virginia,
and provided, that the certificates of courses completed be approved
by the University of Virginia professor concerned.
(c) The Dean of the College and the professor in charge of the
school in which credit is desired will accept certificates of completion
of summer courses in lieu of A courses in the University of Virginia,
provided that such summer courses be approved by the University
of Virginia professor concerned as the full equivalent in character
and scope of the corresponding A courses in the University.
(d) Certificates of completion of certain summer courses approved
by the Academic Faculty will be accepted in lieu of portions
of B courses, provided that in each case the Dean of the College,
the Faculty Committee on Degrees, and the professor in charge of
the courses for which credit is desired certify in writing that the summer
courses completed are equivalent in character and scope to that
portion of the regular sessional work for which credit is desired.
(e) The character of the examinations and the numerical standard
(75%) required for their successful completion shall be the same
as those of the sessional examinations.
TEACHERS' POSITIONS.—The University Appointment Committee
receives more demands for teachers than it is ever able to fill.
This Committee will be glad to have well qualified teachers who are
in attendance upon the Summer School leave their applications with
the Director, who is a member of the Committee.
BOARD AND ROOMS.—Board and rooms may be had at prices
ranging from $3.50 per week, where several stay in the same room,
upwards, according to accommodations, the average being $4.50 per
week. Many of the boarding-houses are situated on, or immediately
adjoining the University grounds. A limited number of students may,
upon application, procure rooms in the University buildings at a
The Commons, the handsome new dining hall on the University
grounds, is now at the service of Summer School students. The
cost of board in the dining hall will not exceed $4.00 per week. Applications
should be made as early as possible.
REDUCED RAILWAY RATES.—All students coming to the
Summer School from points south and west of Virginia should apply
several weeks in advance to their local agents for reduced rates. In
case the agent has received no instructions for selling reduced rate
tickets to Charlottesville, Virginia, the Director of the Summer School
should be written to promptly for information.
