The Division of Extension of the University of Virginia offers to the
people of Virginia its services as follows:

University, either away from the University buildings or at the University, for
the benefit of persons unable to attend the regular courses of instruction and
to take work in residence. Each course represents a definite amount of study
corresponding to an equivalent amount of work done in residence at the University,
and when completed satisfactorily by persons meeting the entrance
requirements of the University, receives the same degree of credit as if taken
in residence.
