ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.

The general requirements for admission to the University may be found on
page 10. For admission to the College, the candidate should possess an amount
of preparation which is at least the equivalent of that represented by four years
of successful work in an accredited school. He must offer, either by certificate
or by examination (see page 10), fifteen units, of which three must be in
English, two and one-half in Mathematics (one and one-half in algebra, one
in plane geometry), and one in History. The remaining eight and one-half
units may be selected at will from the list on page 12, but no credit will be given
for less than two units in any foreign language. Candidates who expect to
apply for the degree of B.S. in Architecture should offer Solid Geometry and
Physics if possible.

In addition to the above, each candidate must pass at the University a
qualifying examination in English before his registration can be completed.
This examination will be held on the Tuesday of the first week of the session.

Advanced Standing is given to any candidate who, in addition to meeting
the minimum requirements for entrance above stated, can show by passing
an examination given sometime during the first month of his first session that
he has done work equivalent to that covered by any of the following courses
offered in the college: Latin A1, Greek A1, Greek A2, English A1 or A2
or A3, German A1, Mathematics A1, French A, Spanish A. Candidates who
apply for examination for advanced standing must present a special certificate
showing that the full content of the course, on which advanced standing is
sought, has been covered in a systematic manner in the preparatory school, and
in addition must present the specific recommendation of the principal of the
school that the candidate be admitted to the advanced standing examination
in question. This examination will be held on the Tuesday of the week during
which entrance examinations are held.

College Credit.—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 College a certificate covering the courses
for which college credit is desired. The certificate must bear the official signature
of the head of the candidate's college, must specify the character and content
of the courses passed by the candidate, and must give his grades. The final
validation of such certificates is effected by the successful completion of not less
than 12 session-hours of work during his first session. In no case will credit


63

Page 63
be given on more than forty-five session-hours of work done elsewhere, and
any candidate who receives this maximum amount of credit can count among
the remaining fifteen session-hours required for his degree only the credit value
of the courses he has passed as a resident student in the College, exclusive of any
credit for work done in the Summer Quarter or in any of the professional
departments. In every case the candidate must spend the last session of his
candidacy, which must be a regular session of nine months, exclusively in
college work in this university; and the courses offered as major electives
must all have been completed in residence in this university. A maximum
of 15 session-hours may be granted for one year of college work, and 33 hours
for two years.

Conditioned Students.—A candidate for entrance must offer fifteen units
as defined by the Southern Commision on Accredited Schools. At least thirteen
of the units offered must be included in the list of units accepted for admission
on page 12. A student who, while able to offer fifteen units, cannot offer
fifteen units as defined in this list may be conditioned on any two units not
including English A, B, or C, or Mathematics A1. All conditions must be absolved
before the beginning of the session following initial registration. This may be
done by passing entrance examinations or by passing equivalent courses in the
Summer Quarter. But no course taken to remove a condition may be counted
as part of the work credited toward a degree. No conditioned student may be
later registered as a special student.

Special Students.—A candidate may be admitted as a special student without
fulfilling the entrance requirements above specified, provided that, if he is a
Virginian, he is more than twenty years old or, if he is not a Virginian, he is
more than twenty-three years old, on the day of registration, and gives adequate
evidence of serious purpose and of the training needed to pursue with profit
the courses for which he is registered. No special student may be a candidate
for a degree; but such students are permitted and encouraged to make up their
deficiences by private study or by taking courses in the Summer Quarter. They
will then be admitted as regular students, and may be accepted as applicants for
degrees, provided all entrance requirements are met at least one academic
year before the date of graduation.

Admission of Women.—Women are admitted as candidates for the vocational
degrees of Bachelor of Science in a Special Subject, Bachelor of
Science in Architecture and Bachelor of Science in Commerce. A candidate
must be at least twenty years old on the birthday preceding matriculation; must
present certificates showing graduation from an accredited public high-school,
or not less than four years' attendance in an accredited private school, with credit
for not less than fifteen college entrance units obtained at least two years before
admission to the University; and must in addition show by proper certificate the
completion in a standard college, subsequent to the credit obtained for fifteen
entrance units, of at least thirty session-hours, (sixty semester-hours), of courses
of college grade, in not less than eighteen calendar months.

REGULATIONS.

(1) The Session-Hour.—All courses are measured in terms of the session-hour
as a unit. A session-hour is one hour a week throughout the session
of lecture or recitation, or two hours a week throughout the session of
laboratory work.

(2) Maximum and Minimum Number of Session-Hours.—Each College
student is required to undertake each session courses aggregating at least
fifteen session-hours (with the exception noted under Probation below). This
number may be increased in the following cases:

(I) Any first-year student may take eighteen session-hours, provided he
is credited with six session-hours of advanced standing.

(II) A student not in his first year in the College may take eighteen
session-hours, provided he (a) has passed in the preceding session or in the third
term thereof courses aggregating fifteen session-hours, or (b) is in his graduating
year and needs eighteen session-hours for his degree.

(III) A student not in his first year may take twenty-one session-hours
provided he passed in the preceding session or in the third term thereof courses
aggregating eighteen session-hours.

(IV) Any student whose term grade (or class grade, if the term grade
is not available) for the first or second term is at least 75 per cent. in each
of his courses, may take three additional session-hours for the ensuing term.

Exceptions to the above regulations will be allowed only by special permission
of the Committee on Rules and Courses.

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

(3) Grade.—The grade of a college student in any course either for a
term or for the session, is determined by his class standing and his examination
grade, combined in such proportion as the professor in charge of the
course in question may decide. Class standing in any course is determined
by the regularity of the student's attendance upon the lectures (and laboratory
or other similar exercises) of the course, and by the quality of his
work, as indicated by his recitation grades, written tests, laboratory work,
etc. For passing in any course in the college a grade of seventy-five per cent.
is required.

(4) Exclusion from Courses, Probation and Suspension.

(I) Exclusion from Courses:

A student who, after due admonition, is evidently making no real progress
in a course, may, at any time during the session, be excluded from the
course by the Dean upon the recommendation of the instructor concerned.

A student whose term grade in a course is less than 50 per cent., or who discontinues


65

Page 65
the course without the permission of the Dean, or who is absent
without excuse from the term examination, will be automatically excluded
from the course.

Any student receiving a grade of less than 65 per cent. in English A1, A2,
or A3 in the first or second term, must drop the course and take up English A4
at the beginning of the ensuing term.

(II) Probation:

(1) A student placed on 15-hour probation must pass on at least 6 session-hours
of his work and average at least 60 per cent. on all his courses, or else
be suspended from the College. A student placed on 15-hour probation who
attains an average grade of at least 70 per cent. on all his courses, is absolved
from probation.

(2) A student placed on 12-hour probation must pass on at least 6 session-hours
of his work and average at least 65 per cent. on all his courses, or else be
suspended from the College. A student on 12-hour probation whose average
grade on all his courses is at least 75 per cent., may take up 3 additional session-hours
and be absolved from probation.

(3) A student placed on 9-hour probation must pass on 6 session-hours of
his work and average at least 70 per cent. on all his courses, or else be suspended
from College. A student on 9-hour probation whose average grade on all his
courses is at least 75 per cent., may take up 3 additional session-hours and be
placed on 12-hour probation for the term next ensuing. A student on 9-hour
probation who passes on all his courses may take up 6 additional session-hours
and be absolved from probation.

(III) Suspension:

Suspension means enforced withdrawal from the College. If imposed
during the session, it applies to the remainder of the regular session; if imposed
at the end of the session; it applies to the whole of the subsequent session.
In no case does it apply to the Summer Quarter. See also (6) below. No student
suspended for a second time may re-enter the College.

(IV) Probation and Suspension are administered as follows:

(1) A student who by exclusion from a course or courses is left at the
end of the first or second term with only 12 session-hours, is put on 12-hour
probation[1] for the term next ensuing, unless his average grade on the remaining
12 session-hours is at least 75 per cent. In this case he may take up 3 additional
session-hours and escape probation.

(2) A student who by exclusion from a course or courses is left at the
end of the first or second term with only 9 session-hours, (a) will be put on
9-hour probation,[2] unless his average grade on his remaining 9 session-hours


66

Page 66
is at least 75 per cent., in which case he may take up 3 additional session-hours
and be put on 12-hour probation, or, (b) if he be other than a first-year student
he will be suspended unless he has passed on at least 3 session-hours.

(3) Any student not in his first year, who by exclusion from a course or
courses is left at any time during the session with only 6 session-hours, will be
suspended at the end of the term. Any first-year student left with only 6
session-hours will be suspended at the end of the term unless he has passed
on at least 3 session-hours. In this case he will be required to take up 3
additional session-hours and be put on 9-hour probation for the ensuing term.

(4) Any student not on probation who fails to attain a third-term grade
or a session grade of at least 75 per cent. on at least 9 session-hours of his work,
will be put on 15-hour probation for the first term of the subsequent session.
A student who is permitted to withdraw from the University during the session
will be readmitted on 15-hour probation if, at the time of his withdrawal, he
was (a) on probation, or (b) passing on less than 9 session-hours of his work.
A student previously suspended will, if re-admitted to the College, be placed on
15-hour probation.

(5) No student may remain on probation for more than three terms, whether
consecutive or not, in his entire college course. If his record is such as to call
for the imposition of probation for a fourth time, he will be suspended instead
of being placed on probation.

(6) Probation or suspension imposed at the end of the regular session may
be absolved by the successful completion of prescribed work in the Summer
Quarter.

(7) No student on probation may receive a leave of absence, except for
imperative cause, nor may such a student be a member of any student organization
which publicly represents the University, such as athletic teams, musical clubs,
student publications, etc.

(5) Absence from Examinations will not be excused, except for sickness on
the day of examination, attested by a physician's certificate, or for other cause
which the Faculty by special order may approve. An unexcused absence is
counted as a total failure.

A student excused from more than one-half of his term examinations on
account of illness may not be a member of any student organization which
publicly represents the University, such as the athletic teams, musical clubs,
student publications, etc., until he has passed his examinations.

No student may remain in the College if he misses all the examinations of
two consecutive terms on account of illness.

(6) Special Examinations.—A student whose absence from an examination
is excused, in accordance with (5) above, is entitled to a special examination
on a date during the regular session to be arranged between himself
and the professor in charge of the examination.


67

Page 67

(7) Re-Examinations.—(I) A College student whose session grade in
any course falls below seventy-five per cent., but not below sixty-five per cent.,
may, upon the written recommendation of the professor in charge, be admitted
to re-examination upon that course, or upon such portion of it as
the professor shall determine, during the registration week of the following
September. The fee for each re-examination is five dollars, and it should be
paid to the Bursar on or before July fifteenth.

(II) The candidate for an academic degree who fails on only one term
of one of his courses during his final session of candidacy, is entitled to a
special re-examination on the work of that term before the Final Day. The
candidate who passes the re-examination, as an independent unit and not
averaged in with the grades of the other terms, will receive credit for the
work of the whole course in question. No fee is charged for such re-examination.

(8) Reports.—Reports are sent at the end of each term to the parent
or guardian of each College student. These reports indicate the number of
times the student has been absent from lectures, and give his term grade on
each course. The dean will be glad at any time to furnish to the proper person
a special report on any student's standing.

In addition to the above, a report on the standing of each first year
student in the College is sent to the student's parent or guardian early in
November.

(9) Conduct.—The laws of the University require from every student
decorous, sober, and upright conduct as long as he remains a member of the
University, whether he be within the precincts or not. Drunkenness,
gambling, and dissoluteness are strictly forbidden, and the President may
dismiss from the University for the residue of the current session every student
found guilty of them, or may administer such other discipline as seems
best under the circumstances.

In all cases of discipline, the law requires that the student must first be
informed of the objections to his conduct and afforded an opportunity of
explanation and defense.

The keeping of dogs by students within the University grounds is forbidden.

(10) Voluntary Withdrawal.—Voluntary withdrawal from the University
requires the written consent of the Dean of the University as well as the consent
of the student's parent or guardian, if he is a minor. Any student who withdraws
without permission will be recorded as having been suspended for the
residue of the current session. No student on probation may withdraw except
for imperative reasons; and any student on probation who withdraws without
permission will be suspended, not only for the residue of the current session,
but also for the whole of the subsequent session.


68

Page 68

(11) Enforced Withdrawal is inflicted for habitual delinquency in class,
habitual idleness, or any other fault which prevents the student from fulfilling
the purposes for which he should have come to the University. See
also Suspension, above.

(12) Change of Studies.—No change can be made in a student's program
of studies except with the written consent of the Dean, together with
official notification by the Registrar. No permit for change of courses will be
issued after the end of the first week of each term, except that first-year students
may make such changes within the first two weeks after the beginning of lectures
in September. Any student who drops a course without permission will receive
a grade of zero in that course; and no credit may be received for any portion
of a course attended before formal permission has been granted as outlined above.

(13) (a) Absence from Lectures may be excused by the professors, but
only for sickness or like providential cause. Any explanation of an absence
which a student has to offer must be made on the day of the first lecture attended
after the absence. Unexcused absence from lectures renders the
student liable to discipline by the Faculty

It should be carefully noted that no student is "entitled" to be absent
at all. His presence is required at each class or laboratory exercise at which
he is due, unless his absence is excused for reasons outlined above or in the
next paragraph below. Even if the student is absent with excuse, he must
make up the work lost by such absence. No student who was, for any reason,
absent from more than fifty per cent. of the lectures of any one term,
can receive a grade on the work of that term.

(b) Absence from the University is permitted upon the written leave
of the dean, and should in every case be obtained in advance. But leaves
of absence for the purpose of accompanying the athletic teams or musical
clubs on excursions will not be granted, except to the officers and members
of these organizations. The laws relating to absence from the University
of members of the athletic teams are found on page 306 of the Catalogue.
The same regulations apply, mutatis mutandis, to members of other student
organizations. No student on Probation may receive a leave of absence except
for imperative cause.

It should also be carefully noted that no leave of absence can be granted just
before or just after a vacation, or just after term examinations, except for very
grave reasons, or unless the applicant is passing in all his courses.

(14) The Dean's List.—A second-year student who passed on not less than
fifteen hours his first session, with an average of at least eighty-five per cent.,
and with no grade less than seventy-five per cent., is placed on the Dean's
List, and remains on the list as long as he receives no term grade less than
seventy-five per cent. If a student on the Dean's List receives a term grade
less than seventy-five per cent., he is automatically dropped from the List. A
student on the Dean's List is not subject to the regulations limiting the issuance


69

Page 69
of leaves of absence from the University, nor does absence from any class
entail on such student any penalty, affecting class standing, imposed for absence
alone.

 
[1]

Or 15-hour probation for a student excluded from English A1, A2, or A3, and
thereby forced to take up English A4.

[2]

Or 12-hour probation for a student excluded from English A1, A2, or A3, and
thereby forced to take up English A4.

REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES.

Full opportunity is given to any student to carry out any definite plan
of work which he may have in view on coming to the University, or which
may have been prescribed for him by those under whose direction he is
completing his education. But when no well-considered plan has been
outlined in advance, and the end in view is that for which the great majority
of students enter college, namely, the attainment of a liberal education,
the student will be expected to enter upon the regular work of the
college leading to a baccalaureate degree.

Six degrees are offered candidates for graduation in the College.
Two of these, the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science, are cultural;
the Bachelor of Science in a Special Subject, the name of which is
inscribed on the diploma, the Bachelor of Science in Architecture, the
Bachelor of Science in Commerce, and the Bachelor of Science in Medicine,
are vocational degrees, designed for those who wish to fit themselves
especially for professional work.

No course offered by a successful candidate for one of the cultural
baccalaureate degrees can be offered by the same candidate as part of the
work credited toward the other cultural baccalaureate degree, nor can
any work done to remove an entrance condition be counted for any degree.

For a student who enters without advanced standing the normal time
required for obtaining a baccalaureate degree is four years, assuming that
he completes each year courses which aggregate the regular minimum of
fifteen session-hours. A student receiving advanced standing in not less
than two subjects may obtain a degree in three years, provided he is able
to complete each year eighteen session-hours. A student may materially
shorten the time required for obtaining a degree by taking courses in the
Summer Quarter for which college credit is given. For credit for work done
at other colleges, see page 62.

The requirements for the baccalaureate degrees are such as to allow a
large measure of freedom of election on the part of the individual student,
such restriction only being placed upon this liberty as is necessary
to insure at the same time the thoroughness and the breadth of culture
for which these degrees stand. In order to secure to the recipient of a
degree a due measure of acquaintance with the methods of thought characteristic
of each of the leading departments of knowledge, as well as
with their subject matter, his courses must be chosen subject to the specific
requirements detailed below.


70

Page 70

BACHELOR OF ARTS AND BACHELOR OF SCIENCE.

The degree of Bachelor of Arts or of Bachelor of Science, respectively,
will be conferred upon regular students who have completed not less than
sixty (60) session-hours of undergraduate courses, taken in conformity with
the following programme:

(1) Required Subjects.—Candidates for either cultural degree must take
30 hours of required subjects as stated below and must in addition, unless exemption
is granted on a physician's certificate, complete the two years' course
in Physical Training which is not evaluated in session-hours. Of the 30 hours
of required subjects not less than 24 hours must be taken during the first two
years, and the remaining 6 hours not later than the third year.

Foreign Languages.

For the Bachelor of Arts.—Nine session-hours from two languages, of
which six must be in either Latin or Greek (exclusive of Greek Literature
B1).

For the Bachelor of Science.—Nine session-hours from two languages, of
which six must be in either French, German or Spanish.

Mathematics.

For either degree.—Mathematics A1 or A2—three session-hours.

Natural Science.

For either degree.—Six session-hours.

English.

For either degree.—Six session-hours, 3 of which may be in Biblical History,
or Biblical Literature, or Public Speaking, or Greek Literature B1; the
other 3 being in English or English Literature.

Social Science.

For either degree.—Three session-hours in History B1 or B2, or Economics
B1, or Government B1. Economics B1, if selected, cannot be taken
before the candidate's second year.

Philosophy.

For either degree.—Three session-hours in Philosophy B1, Philosophy
B2, or Psychology B1.

Physical Training.

For either degree.—Two years' course required of all candidates, which must
be completed before graduation. If not completed during the first two years, an
additional study-course of 3 session-hours must be taken.

A candidate entering with advanced standing or with college credit shall
in his first, and, if necessary, continuously in subsequent sessions, take such


71

Page 71
courses as are necessary to complete these requirements for the first and second
sessions.

(2) Electives-at-large.—Of the remaining 30 session-hours required for
the baccalaureate degree, 18 session-hours may be elected from any courses in
the academic schools for which the candidate has adequate preparation.

(3) Major-Electives.—The remaining 12 session-hours required for either
degree, shall be known as Major-Electives. The Major-Electives shall include
at least one C course, and must all be offered from some one of the following
Major-Groups of related subjects, except that when the Major-Group is Group
III, the candidate may offer, in lieu of a C course, any six-hour B course in
this Group, for admission to which another six-hour B course in the Group is
prerequisite. The Major-Electives must all be completed in this College or in
some professional department of this university.

  • Group I.—Languages, Literature, Fine Arts, and Music.

  • Group II.—Social and Philosophical Science.

  • Group III.—Mathematical and Natural Sciences.

(4) Substitutions for Major-Electives.-The first-year course in Law, or
the first-year course in Medicine or 12 session-hours of technical courses in one
of the professional departments of Engineering or Education may be substituted
for the 12 session-hours of Major-Electives in academic subjects. This work,
which must be completed in one of the professional departments of this University,
cannot be begun by the candidate until he has spent at least 2 sessions
of 9 months each in successful work in this College, and has at least 45 session-hours
to his credit.

DEGREES WITH HONORS.

The courses required for the cultural B.A. and B.S. degrees are adapted
to the powers of the average student, and any graduate of an accredited school,
who has, either by certificate or examination satisfied the requirements for
admission to the College, if he is reasonably industrious and regular in his studies,
should obtain one of these degrees without difficulty in four sessions' work.
In every body of students, however, there is a varying proportion of men and
women who possess greater ability and application than the average, and whose
ambition aims higher than a bare pass-mark on their work. For the proper
stimulation of such students toward the best that they can do, and for due and
authoritative recognition of unusual ability and high achievement in studies, the
Academic Faculty has instituted the following system of Special Honors.

Intermediate Honors.

A certificate of Intermediate Honors is conferred by the Academic Faculty
on the student who, during his first two regular sessions in the College of this
University, has passed on not less than 30 session-hours, including all required


72

Page 72
A courses, without failure or re-examination on any course, and with an average
grade on all courses of 85 per cent. or more.

The holder of a Certificate of Intermediate Honors, so long as he has no
grade below 75 per cent. on the work of any term in any course, is not subject to
any of the rules limiting the issuance of leaves of absence from the University, nor
does absence from any class entail on such student any penalty affecting class-standing
imposed for absence alone.

The Certificates of Intermediate Honors are publicly conferred at the Annual
Convocation of the University following the session in which the honors have
been attained. The names of the holders of these certificates are published
under a separate heading in the annual catalogue of the University.

Final Honors.

Final Honors are conferred only on graduation, and the diploma of B.A.
or B.S. with Final Honors states that the graduate has obtained special honors,
and the subjects in which honors were won.

A student who wishes to obtain Final Honors must be accepted as a candidate
for honors two sessions before graduation.

Any holder of the Certificate of Intermediate Honors, or any student who
has credit for not less than 30 session-hours, including all required A courses,
passed in this college or elsewhere, and who satisfies the Special Committee on
Honors of his capacity for superior work, may become a candidate for Final
Honors.

The candidate for Final Honors, in addition to completing, without failure
in any course, the regular degree requirements not later than the end of his
second year of candidacy, will, before graduation, take a special comprehensive
examination, oral or written, for Final Honors in some one group of subjects,
selected by him at the beginning of his candidacy from the list of such groups
published by the Special Committee on Honors. Final Honors are conferred
on the basis of the standing on this examination alone, and not of the grades
obtained in any or all of the courses required for the baccalaureate degree.

Students who have credit for 30 session-hours and who are interested in
Final Honors, are urged to consult the temporary Chairman of the Committee
on Honors, Professor W. H. Faulkner, before registering.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN A SPECIAL SUBJECT.

The degree of Bachelor of Science in a Special Subject will be conferred
upon regular students who have completed not less than sixty-three
(63) session-hours of undergraduate courses, taken in conformity with the
following programme:

(1) Required Subjects: Candidates must complete 33 session-hours of
required subjects as stated below, of which 3 must be in Physical Training
B1. Of the remaining 30 session-hours of required subjects not less than
24 must be taken during the first two years, and the remaining 6 not later
than the third year.


73

Page 73

Foreign Languages: 6 session-hours, of which 3 must be in French and
3 in German.

Mathematics: 6 session-hours.[3]

Natural Science: 12 session-hours in 2 subjects.

English: 6 session-hours, of which 3 must be in English B3.

Physical Training: 3 session-hours, which must be completed during
the first two years.

A candidate entering with advanced standing or with college credit,
shall in his first, and, if necessary, continuously in subsequent sessions, take
such courses as are necessary to complete the requirements for the first and
second sessions.

(2) Major-Electives: 30 session-hours. At least two years before the
date of graduation,
the candidate must select one of the Schools of the Natural
or Mathematical Sciences as his Major School, and during the remainder
of his candidacy must pursue work in that School, with such other
courses as shall be prescribed by the professor or professors in charge of
his Major School and approved by the Academic Faculty.

 
[3]

Students applying for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Biology may substitute
Biology C1 for 3 hours of Mathematics; students applying for the degree of Bachelor
of Science in Geology may be permitted, at the discretion of the professor of geology,
to substitute Astronomy B1 for 3 hours of Mathematics.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ARCHITECTURE.

Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Architecture must
complete 63 session-hours as listed below. To complete the work required
for the degree in four years from entrance, students without advanced standing
or college credit should adhere closely to the following programme in
choosing their courses. It is strongly urged, however, that those students
who can do so should devote an additional year to study for the degree,
taking other cultural and scientific subjects, such as foreign languages,
history and chemistry.

Unless Solid Geometry and Physics are offered for entrance, these subjects
must be made up in addition to the required 63 session-hours.
