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 professor in charge, and will then be registered for the more advanced
work, provided the full entrance requirements have been satisfied.
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.
Advanced standing in the technical engineering subjects of higher
grade than those of the Sophomore year will not be given except to graduates
of other institutions offering technical engineering instruction and
then only upon special consideration of each application for such advanced
standing. No degree in Engineering will be awarded for less than one
full year's work in a regular session of this University and the work of a
candidate's last year must be performed in residence here.
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.
Students, suspended from other universities, are not granted college
credit on courses previously passed, except upon the explicit recommendation
of the suspending university, and after such additional tests as this
Engineering Faculty may impose.
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 every case pass an additional practical test on the subjects for which
credit is desired.
College credit is not granted for high-school work.
