THE SUMMER QUARTER
The Summer Quarter is an integral part of the University year. Courses
in the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as in the Department of Education,
are the same in character and in credit value as in any other Quarter
of the University. Degrees are conferred upon men and women upon exactly
the same terms for work done in the Summer Quarter when the degree
requirements are fully met. 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 for a degree 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 of the Summer Quarter and to the Dean of the
Department in which the degree will be obtained. 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 or an equivalent time at the University in order to meet
the residence requirements.
The Master's degree may be obtained by properly qualified persons in
three Summer Quarters. In no case is this degree to be conferred upon any
person who has not attended and done graduate work three full Summer
Quarters or the equivalent time in the regular session of the University and
the Summer Quarter.
On account of the increasing demand for graduate work in the Summer
Quarter, the number of graduate courses will be enlarged in 1928.
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 their entrance requirements and
mailed upon application.
First Term begins June 18th and ends July 28th. Second Term begins
July 30th and ends August 31st.
In order to provide for the increasing number of students who complete
the requirements for their degrees during the Summer Quarter, a
convocation exercise will be held Friday evening, August 31st, at 8 o'clock,
when the degrees will be conferred.
Catalogue and further information may be obtained by addressing Secretary
Summer Quarter, Box 149, University, Virginia.
