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 6 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
grades. 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
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 1931.
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 22nd and ends August 1st. Second Term begins
August 3rd and ends September 4th.
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, September 4th, at 8 o'clock, when the
degrees will be conferred.
Catalogue and further information may be obtained by addressing Secretary
Summer Quarter, Box 1337, University, Virginia.
