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 1929.

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 work for which college
credit is desired. Blanks for this purpose will be mailed upon application.

First Term begins June 17th and ends July 27th. Second Term begins July
29th and ends August 30th.

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 30th, 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.
