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 22, and will
close Aug. 1st, with lectures five times a week. The Second Term will begin
Aug. 3rd, and will close Sept. 5th, 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 refund is made
after this date unless the room is re-rented. No rooms will be rented to any
person who does not register and pay the fee in the Summer Quarter. A
dormitory room must be occupied by the person who applies for it, as there
will be no transfers in the dormitory rooms this year. Please be sure of the
room you desire when writing for accommodations.

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 page 176 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 1925 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 260 of this catalogue, are offered

291

in the Summer Quarter so that it is possible for the student to meet the premedical
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 247 of this
catalogue.
