CREDITS AND DEGREES

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. 60 session-hours of undergraduate courses, exclusive
of Physical Education, taken in conformity with the requirements
published on page 249, 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 6
session-hours.

Any course for which credit on a baccalaureate degree is allowed in this
University must be a complete course, that is, not a fraction of a course.
For example, one or two terms only of a three-term course cannot be counted
toward a degree. Similarly, when work is done elsewhere, one semester alone
of a two-semester course cannot be counted toward a degree. However,
combinations of fractions of courses may be allowed to count as complete
courses with the approval of the Schools and Departments concerned.

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. The 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 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.

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 credits and work
for which college credit is desired.

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.
