ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
Admission from Secondary Schools.—The general requirements for admission
to the University may be found on page 131. For admission to the
College of Arts and Sciences, 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 133), 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 132, 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.
Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry should offer
Inorganic Chemistry and Solid Geometry if possible.
Admission from Other Colleges.—An applicant for admission to the College
of this University from an institution of collegiate rank may be admitted
upon presentation of a satisfactory transcript of his record at his former college
(see page 133).
No student suspended from another college for scholastic deficiency or on
probation in another college for scholastic deficiency will be admitted to the
College of this University in the immediately succeeding session, unless he passes
on at least three session-hours of work in one term of the Summer Quarter of
this University.
No student from another college will be admitted to the College of this
University if he has ever been suspended or on probation more than once, or
if he has ever been both on probation and suspended.
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, Mathematics A1, German A1, French A1, Spanish A1, Italian A1. Candidates
who apply for examination for advanced standing must present a special
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.
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 Department 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 those certificates which are provisionally accepted is effected
by the successful completion of not less than twelve session-hours of work during
his first session. In no case will credit 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 of Arts and Sciences, 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 fifteen
session-hours may be granted for one year of college work, and thirty-three
hours for two years.
In general credit will not be granted for work completed elsewhere with
the lowest passing grade, if the grades are given as letters, or with a grade
below 75 per cent., if the grades are given as percentages.
Conditioned Students.—A candidate for entrance must offer fifteen units
as defined by the Southern Commission on Accredited Schools. At least thirteen
of the units offered must be included in the list of units accepted for admission
on page 132. 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 should
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 deficiencies by private study or by taking courses in the Summer
as applicants for degrees, provided all entrance requirements are met at least
one academic year before the date of graduation.
An applicant who has regularly attended a secondary school until he is
twenty years of age without, because of failure, obtaining credit for fifteen acceptable
entrance units, will not be admitted as a special student.
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
a certificate 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 of Arts and Sciences
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.
Physical Training is not counted in the maximum and minimum requirements
detailed above.
Exceptions to the above regulations will be allowed only by special permission
of the Committee on Rules and Courses.
(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
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:
1. A student who 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
recommendation of the instructor concerned.
2. A student whose term grade in a course is less than 50 per cent., or who
discontinues the course without permission of the Dean, or who is absent without
excuse from the term examination, will be excluded from the course.
(II) Probation and Suspension:
1. Probation is a state of warning, involving withdrawal from the student
of certain privileges enumerated below. Suspension means enforced withdrawal
from the College.
2. A student will be placed on probation if, in any term, he does not pass
on six hours of work; and, if he shall be excluded from a course or courses,
he must, in order to avoid probation, pass on a number of hours six in excess
of the number from which he is excluded.
A student will be suspended if, in any term, he does not pass on three
hours of work; and, if he shall be excluded from a course or courses, he must,
in order to escape suspension, pass on a number of hours three in excess of
the number from which he is excluded.
3. A student on probation must carry at least 12 hours of work or be suspended.
A student not on probation must carry at least 15 hours of work or
be placed on probation.
Exception: A first-year student excluded from one course during the first
term is not to be placed on probation during the rest of the term. But at the
end of the term he is to be considered as having made a grade of less than 50
per cent. on the course from which he was excluded.
4. No student may remain on probation for more than two terms in his
entire college course. If his record is such as to invoke probation a third time,
he will be suspended. No student suspended a second time may re-enter the
College.
5. No student on probation may be a member of any student organization
which publicly represents the University, such as an athletic team, a musical
club or a student publication.
6. Suspension, if imposed during the session, 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.
7. Probation or suspension may be absolved by the completion of three session-hours
of work in one term of the Summer Quarter.
8. A student who is permitted to withdraw from the University during the
session will be re-admitted only on probation if, at the time of his withdrawal,
he was on probation. A student previously suspended will be re-admitted only
on probation.
9. The application of these regulations is automatic. A student may, however,
appeal in writing to the Committee on Rules and Courses for relief from
their application. The Committee is empowered to grant relief for just cause.
(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 an athletic team, a musical club, or a
student publication, 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.
(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) A candidate for an academic degree who fails on only one of his
courses during his final session of candidacy is entitled to a special re-examination
on the work of that course before the final day, provided that he average
at least 65 per cent. on the work of the three terms, and provided the professor
in charge recommends that the candidate be granted a re-examination. The
professor in charge is to decide whether the candidate is to stand a re-examination
upon the whole course, or upon some portion or portions of the course.
No fee is charged for such re-examination.
It should be carefully noted, in connection with both (I) and (II) above,
that no student is entitled to more than one re-examination on a given course
without repeating the course.
(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 anywhere else. 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.
The President will dismiss from the University every student convicted of
public drunkenness, or of other conduct reflecting serious discredit upon the
University.
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.
(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) Absence from Lectures may be excused by the Dean, but only for
sickness or other imperative cause. Any explanation of an absence which a
student has to offer must be made in writing to the Dean within one week after
the absence. But no excuse for an absence may be submitted after the beginning
of an examination period.
Each unexcused absence from a class exercise will cause one point to be deducted
from the student's term grade.
Exception: A second-year student who has credit for at least 12 but less
than 27 session-hours of work is allowed one absence without penalty per term
in each course. A third-year student who has credit for at least 27 but less than
42 session-hours of work is allowed two absences without penalty per term in
each course. A fourth-year student who has credit for at least 42 session-hours
of work is allowed three absences without penalty per term in each course.
A total of more than 15 unexcused absences (in excess of absences without
penalty) in any term will cause a student to be placed on probation. Probation
imposed for absences is called "attendance probation," and it carries the penalties
of probation imposed for failure in courses. If, in any term, a student incurs
both attendance probation and probation for failure in courses, he will be
suspended.
No student who was, for any reason, absent from more than fifty per cent.
of the lectures of a course in any term can receive a grade on the course in that
term. This regulation does not apply to students on the Dean's List or to
holders of Intermediate Honors.
The laws relating to absence from the University of members of athletic
teams are found in the General Catalogue. The same regulations apply, mutatis
mutandis, to members of other student organizations.
(14) The Dean's List.—Any student not in his first year, who passed,
in the preceding term, on all courses taken, aggregating not less than 15 term-hours,
with an average grade on all courses of at least 85 per cent., will be placed
on the Dean's List.
A student on the Dean's List is not subject to the regulations limiting absence
from classes, nor does absence from any class entail on such student any
penalty, affecting class standing, imposed for absence alone. But the performance
of written work and laboratory work is not affected by these regulations.
(15) Physical Education Requirement.—All first- and second-year students
in the College of Arts and Sciences are required to take the course in Physical
Education unless excused by the Dean.
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 should
enter college, namely, the attainment of a liberal education, the student will be
expected to enter upon regular work of the college leading to a baccalaureate
degree.
Five degrees are offered candidates for graduation in the College of Arts
and Sciences. 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, and the
Bachelor of Science in Commerce, 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
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 206.
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.
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 session-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 (see below). Of
the 30 session-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.—9 session-hours from two languages, of which
6 must be in either Latin or Greek.
For the Bachelor of Science.—9 session-hours from two languages, of which
6 must be in either French, German, Spanish, or Italian.
Mathematics
For either degree.—3 session-hours.
Natural Science
For either degree.—6 session-hours.
English
For either degree.—6 session-hours, 3 of which may be Biblical History,
or Biblical Literature, or Public Speaking, the other 3 being in English or English
Literature.
Social Science
For either degree.—3 session-hours in History B1 or B2, or Economics
B1, or Government B1, or Sociology B1. Economics B1, or Sociology B1, if
selected, cannot be taken before the candidate's second year.
Philosophy
For either degree.—3 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 during the first two years unless the candidate is excused on a
physician's certificate.
Note.—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 above 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 (which must require two B courses as a prerequisite), 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 Sciences.
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 two
sessions of nine 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 of Arts and Sciences, if he is reasonably industrious
and regular in his studies, should obtain one of these degrees without great
difficulty in four sessions' work. In every body of students, however, there
are a number 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
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 Arts
and Sciences of this University, has passed on not less than 30 session-hours,
including all required A courses, without failure or re-examination on any course,
and with an average grade on all courses of 85 per cent. or more each session.
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 the rules limiting 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 honors were won in a given academic
school.
A student who wishes to attain Final Honors must be accepted as a candidate
for honors two sessions before graduation. Any student who has met the
requirements for the Dean's List for two sessions may apply to become a candidate
for Final Honors. Application must be made first to the Dean, and, if
approved by him, must also be approved by one of the academic schools which
offer work for honors. A list of such schools is published annually.
Final honors are conferred on the basis of a final comprehensive examination,
both oral and written, on some field of knowledge, and not for work done
in any or all of the regular courses required for a baccalaureate degree. Honors
work involves wide and independent reading for two years, under the general
direction of the professors of an academic school. It does not require regular
attendance upon lectures or the passing of any tests or examinations, except
the final examination, though consultations and reports may be required. Its aim
is the development of a capacity for scholarly work in a field of knowledge,
rather than a mastery of required details of subject matter.
The completion of work for Final Honors may be counted as credit towards
a B.A. or cultural B.S. degree in lieu of six session-hours of electives-at-large
or major-electives. In the event that the work for honors is not of sufficiently
high quality for Final Honors to be conferred, six session-hours' credit toward
a degree without honors may be granted upon recommendation of the academic
school in charge.
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 (60) session-hours
of undergraduate courses, taken in conformity with the following program:
(1) Required Subjects: Candidates must complete 30 session-hours of
required subjects as stated below, not less than 24 hours of which must be taken
during the first two years, and the remaining 6 not later than the third year.

3 in German.
Mathematics: 6 session-hours.[1]
Natural Science: 12 session-hours in 2 subjects.
English: 6 session-hours, of which 3 must be in English B6.
Physical Training: Two years' course required of all candidates, 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.
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.
