ANNOUNCEMENTS.

The session will begin Tuesday, June 18, and close Thursday, August 1,
1918. Tuesday, June 18, will be devoted to the registration of students. All
students should register on this day. No certificate will be granted to students
who fail to register before Tuesday, June 25.

FEES.

For Non-Virginia Students.—A single registration fee of $15 will be
charged each non-Virginia student. This fee will entitle the student to enter any
of the courses outlined in the catalogue, except a few special courses which are
so designated. No student, however, will be allowed to take more than three
advanced courses or six elementary courses without special permission in writing
from the Director.

For Virginia Students.—Students from Virginia who are not teachers or
preparing to teach next session will be charged the same tuition as non-Virginia
students.

Tuition will be entirely free to all Virginia teachers in all the regular
courses, both elementary and advanced, leading to the professional and first
grade certificates. To meet local expenses, the State Board of Education has
fixed a registration fee of $1 for a four weeks' term and $1.50 for a six weeks'
term for all the Summer Schools of the State, and these fees will be charged
here. There are a few special courses offered to meet certain demands, but not

necessary for certificate credit, for which fees will be charged. The fee for
each is designated in the catalogue. Small fees in laboratory courses will also
be charged all students who register in them.

EXPENSES.

Board and Rooms.—Board and rooms may be had at prices ranging from
$4 per week, where several stay in the same room, upward, according to accommodations
and proximity to the University, the average being $4.50 to $5.50 per
week. Many of the boarding houses immediately adjoin the university grounds.

One hundred single rooms and one hundred and twenty-five double rooms
in the university dormitories will be reserved in the order of application upon
the following terms: The price will be $5 for the full term of six weeks for a
single room, and $8 for a room which will accommodate two. No reduction will
be made for parts of a term. Applications for rooms must be accompanied with
the full amount of the fee in order to have them reserved. The amount of the
fee will be returned for good reason, and room released if application is made
before June 10. No rooms will be rented to any person who does not register
and pay the fee in the Summer School.

Reduced Railway Rates.—All students coming to the Summer School from
points within the territory covered by the Southeastern Passenger Association,
i. e., the territory lying south of the Potomac and east of the Mississippi, should
apply to the local agent for reduced rates some time in advance. In case the
agent has received no instructions to sell reduced rate tickets to Charlottesville,
Virginia, the applicant should write promptly to the Director of the Summer
School, or Mr. Joseph Richardson, Secretary Southeastern Passenger Association,
Atlanta, Ga.

CREDIT IN OTHER COLLEGES.

The work of the Summer School is recognized by standard colleges everywhere,
so that students who satisfy the entrance requirements of these colleges
have no difficulty in securing transfer of credit, not only for the courses for
which University of Virginia college credit is allowed, but for a very large
number of other courses, professional and vocational, which are not offered in
the regular session of the University. These courses are numbered from 100 to
199 in the summer school catalogue.

VIRGINIA STATE CERTIFICATES.

Courses are offered meeting the requirements of the Department of Public
Instruction for every form of summer-school certificate issued by the Department,
but especial emphasis is placed upon courses leading to the summer-school
professional certificate—high-school grade—which entitles the holder to teach
in the high schools of the State.
