The University of Virginia record :: February 15, 1924

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 16th, and will close July 26th, with
lectures five times a week. The Second Term will begin July 28th, and will
close August 30th, 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 aggregating three session-hours.

A student may take four session-hours, provided he (a) has passed in the
regular session at the college last attended courses aggregating fifteen session-hours,
or (b) is in his graduating year and needs four session-hours for his
degree.

Exceptions to the above regulations will be allowed only by special permission
of the Dean of the Summer Quarter and all of the professors concerned.

Physical training is not counted in the maximum and minimum requirements
detailed above.

FEES.

For Non-Virginia Students.—A registration fee of $5.00 and a tuition fee
of $15.00 for each term will be charged each undergraduate 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. The fee for
graduate students will be $15.00 for each course, only two courses being allowed.

For Virginia Students.—Students from Virginia who are not teachers
will be charged the same tuition as non-Virginia students.

Tuition is entirely free to all Virginia teachers in all the regular courses
leading to the professional certificates. To meet local expenses, the State Board
of Education has fixed a registration fee of $5.00 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 necessarily 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.

However, Virginia teachers will be charged an extra fee of $5.00 for each
graduate course taken.

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 $10.00
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 approximately $22.50.

Two hundred and twenty-five double rooms in the university dormitories
will be reserved for women in the order of application upon the following terms:
For the term, $6.00 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 9th. 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 172-173 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 by properly qualified students in three
Summer Quarters. In no case will this degree be conferred upon any person
who has not attended and done work three full Summer Quarters or the
equivalent time in the regular session of the University. A larger number of
graduate courses will be offered in the Summer Quarter of 1924 in order to
meet the increased demand for graduate work.

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.

PRE-MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS.

Courses covering all the required subjects for entrance to the first year of
the Medical School, as described on page 263 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.

PRE-LAW REQUIREMENTS.

Courses are offered in the Summer Quarter covering all the required college
work for admission to the Department of Law, see page 246 of this catalogue.
