SPECIAL STUDENTS.
Applicants for registration who are more than twenty (20) years
old, reckoning from the birthday preceding matriculation, and desire
to enter for the pursuit of special elective courses, must present
adequate proofs of good character and of the needful maturity and
training. Such applicants may then be registered by the dean of
the university as Special Students, and will be admitted without
formal examination to the privileges of the university, but not as
candidates for any titled degree. Such students must in all cases meet
the specific entrance requirements as prescribed for the courses
elected by them.
Special students and conditioned students are advised and encouraged
to make up their deficiencies by private study or by work
in the Summer School. They will then be registered as regular
students. But it is expressly ordered that no special student shall be
recognized as a candidate for any degree from the University of
Virginia, unless he shall have completed all the entrance requirements
at least one academic year before the date of his graduation.
