ADVANCED STANDING.
Under the elective system of the University of Virginia, a student who has
completed courses of college or university grade in other institutions of learning
on mathematical or scientific subjects may be excused from attendance upon
these courses by the Dean, with the advice and consent of the professors in
charge, and will then be registered for the more advanced work.
In order to secure College Credit upon such courses toward a degree in
Engineering from this university, the applicant must show—
1. That the courses offered are coextensive with the corresponding courses
as given in the University of Virginia.
2. That his grades on them were not below the seventy-five per cent.
pass-mark of this University.
Such credits may be granted by the faculty upon the recommendation of
the Dean and the professors in charge; but are automatically revoked by the
failure of the student to pass in the more advanced courses in the related
topics.
The same rules apply to Credits on Summer School Courses; except that
for courses in the Summer School of this University the examination questions
must be prepared by the professor in charge of the regular course, and the
answers must be read and graded by him.
Credits on Practice-Courses in Drawing, Shop-work, or Field-work may
be granted to applicants who have gained in professional practice the training
which these courses represent. Such applicants must file with the Dean proper
certificates from the official under whom the work was done and must in addition
pass a practical test on the subjects for which credit is desired.
