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 219 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 or an
equivalent time 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 1928 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.
