(3) Special Students: (a) Graduates of colleges and universities other
than the University of Virginia, desiring to secure the necessary professional
training to qualify for the Collegiate Professional Certificate, may register in
the Department of Education and upon completion of the required professional
courses receive a certificate which will entitle them to the Collegiate
Professional Certificate issued by the State Department of Education.

requirements above specified, provided that, if they are Virginians,
they are more than twenty years old or, if they are not Virginians, they are
more than twenty-three years old, on the day of registration, and give adequate
evidence of serious purpose and of the training needed to pursue with
profit the courses for which they are registered. No special student may be
a candidate for a degree; but such students are permitted and encouraged

accepted as applicants for degrees, provided all entrance requirements are
met at least one academic year before the date of graduation.

twenty years of age without, because of failure, obtaining credit for 15 acceptable
entrance units, will not be accepted as a special student.

they are qualified to pursue courses in Education successfully, may be admitted
as special students, even though they fail to show credit for the 30
session-hours of academic work required of women for admission to regular
standing.
