ANNOUNCEMENTS.

The Summer Quarter of the University is an integral part of the University
Year, the Courses in the College of Arts and Sciences being the same in character,
method and in credit value as in the other quarters. In the Department of
Education many professional courses for elementary and high school teachers
which are not offered in the regular session are given to meet certificate requirements.
The Summer Quarter is divided into two terms for the accommodation
of those who can give only six weeks to the work but who desire University
credit. The First Term will begin June 19th, and will close July 29th, with
lectures five times a week. The Second Term will begin July 31st, and will close
September 2nd, with six lectures a week. Students may enter for either term or
both. A separate registration card must be filled out for each Term.

The normal amount of work for college credit which a student may take,
is three courses; but in a few exceptional cases, by special permission of the
Dean and the approval of the instructors in all the courses taken, permission may
be obtained to take four courses. In all cases an additional fee of $5.00 will be
charged for each extra advanced course, and $3.00 for each extra elementary
course.

FEES.

For Non-Virginia Students.—A single registration fee of $15 for each
term 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 four elementary courses without special permission
of the Dean.

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 is entirely free to all Virginia teachers in all the regular courses,
both elementary and advanced, leading to the professional certificates. To meet
local expenses, the State Board of Education has fixed a registration fee of
$1.50 for a six weeks' term for all the summer schools of the State, and this
fee 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 extra fees are
charged in laboratory courses.

EXPENSES.

Board and Rooms.—Board and rooms may be had at prices ranging from
$7.50 per week, where several stay in the same room, upward, according to accommodation
and proximity to the University, the average being $7.50 to $9.00
a week. Most of the boarding houses immediately adjoin the university grounds.
The University Commons conducts a first-class cafeteria at which meals may
be obtained at very low rates. The average cost per month for three meals a
day last year was $22.40.

Two hundred and twenty-five double rooms in the university dormitories
will be reserved in the order of application upon the following terms: For a
term, $5.00 for each person, two persons assigned to each room. No reduction
will be made for parts of a term. Applications for rooms must be accompanied
by 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 Quarter.

CREDITS AND DEGREES.

Degrees are conferred upon men and women for work done in the Summer
Quarter when the degree requirements are fully met. Sixty-three session-hours
of undergraduate courses, taken in conformity with the requirements published
on pages 147-149 are required for the Bachelor's degree. Those who contemplate
completing their degree requirements in the Summer Quarter should keep clearly
in mind, in estimating the time that will be required, that the normal amount of
credit which may be taken in one Summer Quarter is six session-hours.

Candidates who desire credit for work done at other colleges must satisfy
the entrance requirements for regular students and must, in addition, file with
the Dean of the Summer Quarter a certificate covering the courses for which
college credit is desired. This certificate must be acceptable both to the Dean
and to the professor in charge of the course accredited. The certificate must
bear the official signature of the head of the candidate's college and must specify
the character and content of the courses passed by the candidate and must
give his grade. In every case the candidate must spend at least three full Summer
Quarters at the University in order to meet the residence requirement.

The Master's degree may be obtained in three Summer Quarters. In no
case is this degree to be conferred upon any person who has not attended and
done graduate work three full Summer Quarters or the equivalent time in the
regular session of the University. The demand for graduate work in the Summer
Session of 1921 was so great that in future sessions the number of graduate
courses will be largely increased.

All persons who are looking forward ultimately to taking a degree through
summer work are urgently requested to file with the Dean of the Summer Quarter
an official statement of entrance credits and work for which college credit
is desired. Blanks for this purpose will be mailed upon application to the Dean
of the Summer Quarter.

PRE-MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS.

Courses covering all the required subjects for entrance to the first year of
the Medical School, as described on page 224 of this catalogue, are offered in
the Summer Quarter so that it is possible for the student to meet the pre-medical
requirements in two summer quarters and one regular session of the University.
