University of Virginia Library

REGULATIONS.

Registration of New Students.—Applicants seeking admission to the
University for the first time must present themselves at Peabody Hall at some
time during the first three days of the session. Each candidate who satisfies
the requirements for admission set forth on pages 5-12 will be directed to the
dean of the department which he proposes to enter, or, in the case of first-year
students in the College, to one of several professors designated for this purpose
by the Dean. After conference with the above the candidate will receive a card
containing a list of the courses which he wishes to take. This card must be
presented to each professor concerned, who will, on satisfying himself that the
applicant is prepared to take the course in question, sign the card, and enter the
applicant's name upon the roll of the course. The card must then be presented
to the Bursar, who will endorse upon it the amount of fees to be paid. On
payment of these fees the registration of the applicant as a student of the University
will be completed.

Delayed Registration.—Any student who fails to present himself for
registration during the first three days of the session will be admitted to registration

only provided he can explain his delay in a manner satisfactory to the
President, and will be charged a delayed registration fee of three dollars.

The Academic Year begins on the Thursday preceding the nineteenth of
September and continues for thirty-nine weeks. Thanksgiving Day and Jefferson
Day are holidays, and there is a Christmas recess beginning on the last weekday
before the twenty-fifth of December and closing on the evening of the
second of January.

Honor System.—All examinations are held under the Honor System, and
an unpledged paper is counted as a total failure. In matters of class standing
as well, students are expected to regard themselves as governed by the law of
honor.

Dormitories.—Students may reside in the university dormitories, in their
homes, or in private houses approved by the President. The President will
withdraw from the approved list any house in which the regulations as to the
conduct of students are not observed. Any change of residence during the
session should be reported at the office of the Registrar.

For rules governing the rental and occupancy of university dormitories,
and the rates charged for the same, see pages 18-19. For list of private lodging
houses, with rates, apply to the Registrar.

Board.—Students may board at the University Commons, at their homes,
or in private houses approved by the President.

For the cost of board at the Commons, see page 18. For list of private
boarding houses, with rates, apply to the Registrar.

Medical Attendance.—Any student who is temporarily ill from causes
not due to his own misconduct, is entitled, without charge, to all necessary
medical advice from the University Physician; and, if necessary, to nursing
in the University Hospital at a reasonable charge for his maintenance while
there. This exemption from charge does not apply to cases requiring surgical
operation, treatment of the eye, ear, nose, and throat, or to constitutional
disorders from which the student in question was suffering at the time of his
coming to the University. Nor is the University responsible for the expense
incurred through the employment of private nurses, necessitated by severe
illness of students, or through the maintenance of quarantine precautions in
contagious cases. Students who take the responsibility of boarding at houses
not approved by the Board of Health forfeit the right of medical attendance.
Any student sent to the University Hospital by the advice and under the care
of a physician other than the University Physician will be required to pay the
regular hospital charges for private patients.

Physical Training.—No student is permitted to undertake an amount of
work greater than he may reasonably be expected to carry without detriment to
his health; and every student is advised to take a due amount of daily outdoor
exercise, for which ample opportunities are afforded by the athletic fields, the
tennis courts, the golf course, and elsewhere; and, in addition, to make systematic
use of the facilities afforded without cost for definite and judicious
physical training at the Fayerweather Gymnasium under the advice and instruction
of the director and his assistants. A course in Physical Training is offered
with credit value toward academic degrees.
