ADVANCED STANDING
Under the elective system of the University of Virginia, a student who
has completed courses of college or university grade in other institutions of
learning on mathematical or scientific subjects may be excused from attendance
upon these courses by the Dean, with the advice and consent of the
professor in charge, and will then be registered for the more advanced work,
provided the full entrance requirements have been satisfied.
In order to secure College Credit upon such courses toward a degree in
Engineering from the University, the applicant must show—
1. That the courses offered are coextensive with the corresponding
courses as given in the University of Virginia.
2. That his grades on them were not below the 75 per cent. pass-mark
of this University.
Such credits may be granted by the faculty upon the recommendation of
the Dean and the professors in charge; but are automatically revoked by
the failure of the student to pass in the more advanced courses in the related
topics.
Advanced standing in the technical engineering subjects of higher grade
than those of the Sophomore year will not be given except to graduates of
other institutions offering technical engineering instruction and then only
upon special consideration of each application for such advanced standing.
No degree in Engineering will be awarded for less than one full year's work
in a regular session of this University and the work of a candidate's last
year must be performed in residence here.
The same rules apply to Credits on Summer School Courses; except that
for courses in the Summer School of this University the examination questions
must be prepared by the professor in charge of the regular course, and
the answers must be read and graded by him.
Students, suspended from other universities, are not granted college
credits on courses previously passed, except upon explicit recommendation
of the suspending university, and after such additional tests as this
Engineering Faculty may impose.
Credits on Practice-Courses, in Drawing, or Field-work may be granted
to applicants who have gained in professional practice the training which these
courses represent. Such applicants must file with the Dean proper certificates
from the official under whom the work was done and must in every
case pass an additional practical test on the subjects for which credit is
desired.
College credit is not granted for high-school work.
