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 258, 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 signature
of an official 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 rsidence requirements.

The Master's degree may be obtained by properly qualifiel 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, August 31, at 8 o'clock, when
the degrees will be conferred.
