GENERAL REGULATIONS
REGISTRATION
Registration.—Applicants seeking admission to the Department of Education
must present themselves to the Dean at some time during the first three
days of the session. All women students must first register at the office of
the Dean of Women, 22 East Lawn.
Delayed Registration.—Any student who fails to present himself for
registration during the first three days of the session will not be admitted unless
he can explain his delay in a manner satisfactory to the Dean and will be
charged a delayed registration fee.
Admission to the Department of Education During the Session.—No applicant
for admission to the Department of Education who has not been previously
registered therein will be admitted after October 1, unless the Committee
on Admissions is satisfied that, in view of his record, he is likely to prove successful
with the work undertaken in spite of the handicap of late entrance.
Registration after the Christmas Recess.—On the first week-day after
the Christmas Recess, every student is required to register by attending all
the classes or laboratory exercises at which he is due that day. No further
formality is necessary. Any student failing to register thus will be required
to pay the delayed registration fee, and will be liable to penalties imposed for
unexcused absences. But if the delay is due to illness or other providential
cause the Dean is authorized to remit the fee.
RESIDENCE AND ATTENDANCE
The Academic Year begins on the Thursday preceding the nineteenth
of September and continues for thirty-nine weeks. Thanksgiving Day and Jefferson
Day are holidays, and there is a Christmas recess beginning on the
last week-day before the twenty-third of December and closing on the evening
of the second of January.
Attendance is required of each student throughout the entire session,
with the exception of holidays, unless he receives permission to be temporarily
absent, or to withdraw before the close of the session. While in residence each
student is required to attend regularly all lectures and other prescribed exercises
in the course which he pursues, or else suffer such penalties as may be imposed
for unexcused absences.
Voluntary Withdrawal from the University requires the written consent
of the Dean of the Department of Education.
Enforced Withdrawal is inflicted by the departmental faculty for habitual
delinquency in class, habitual idleness or any other fault which prevents the
student from fulfilling the purposes for which he should have come to the
University.
Absence from Examinations.—Written examinations are an essential part
of the work of every course in the University, and attendance upon them
is required of every student. Absence may be excused only on the ground of
sickness on the day of examination (attested by a physician's certificate), or
for other imperative cause which may be approved by the several faculties of
the University.
Special Examinations are granted only upon prompt application therefor,
and in case the applicant's absence from the regular examination has been
excused.
Honor System.—All examinations are held under the Honor System, and
an unpledged paper is counted a total failure. In matters of class standing as
well students are expected to regard themselves as governed by the law of
honor.
Prohibition of Credit.—An act of the Legislature prohibits merchants and
others, under severe penalties, from crediting minor students. The license to
contract debts, which the President is authorized to grant, is limited (except
when the parent or guardian requests otherwise in writing) to cases of urgent
necessity.
CONDUCT
Conduct.—The laws of the University require from every student decorous,
sober, and upright conduct as long as he remains a member of the University,
whether he be within the precincts or anywhere else. Drunkenness, gambling,
and dissoluteness are strictly forbidden, and the President may dismiss from the
University for the residue of the current session every student found guilty of
them, or may administer such other discipline as seems best under the circumstances.
The President will dismiss from the University every student convicted of
public drunkenness, or of other conduct reflecting serious discredit upon the
University.
In all cases of discipline, the law requires that the student must first be
informed of the objections to his conduct and afforded an opportunity of explanation
and defense.
The publication or sale of anonymous publication is forbidden.
Motor driven vehicles either owned or operated by students are prohibited
from parking in the roadways or elsewhere on the University grounds between
the hours of 9:00 a. m. and 3:30 p. m. At no time may they park in the alleys,
near fire hydrants, or on curves. However, students suffering from serious
physical disability may be granted permits to park.
MEDICAL ATTENDANCE
Medical Attendance.—Any student who is temporarily ill from causes not
due to his own misconduct, is entitled, without charge, to all necessary medical
advice from the University Physician; and, if necessary, to nursing in the University
Hospital at a reasonable charge for his maintenance while there. This
exemption from charge does not apply to cases requiring surgical operation,
treatment of the eye, ear, nose and throat, or to constitutional disorders from
which the student in question was suffering at the time of his coming to the
University. Nor is the University responsible for the expense incurred through
the employment of private nurses, nesessitated by severe illness of students, or
through the maintenance of quarantine precautions in contagious cases. Students
who take the responsibility of boarding at houses not approved by the Board
of Health forfeit the right of medical attendance. Any student sent to the University
Hospital by the advice and under the care of a physician other than the
University Physician will be required to pay the regular hospital charges for
private patients.
EXPENSES
Payment of Fees.—When the aggregate charge for University fee, tuition
fee, laboratory fees and room rent does not exceed $50 for the session, the
total amount shall be paid upon registration.
If said fees aggregate more than $50, but do not exceed $100, one-half
thereof shall be paid upon registration and the remainder at the beginning of
the second term.
When the fees aggregate more than $100, payment shall be made one-third
upon registration; one-third at the opening of the second term and the remainder
at the opening of the third term.
If any payment remain unpaid for fifteen days after the date on which
it is due, the Bursar shall immediately notify the Dean of the Department of
the delinquency, and such student shall by him be required at once to cease
attending lectures, using laboratories, library, gymnasium, athletic grounds or
buildings, boarding at the dining hall, and making use of any other privilege
as a student until his financial relations with the University have been arranged
satisfactorily with the Bursar.
Return of Fees.—A student withdrawing within five days after registering
shall have his fees refunded in full, except the sum of $5 to cover cost of registration,
and his name shall be stricken from the rolls.
If he withdraw or is dropped from the rolls for any cause after the fifth
day of the term and before the middle thereof, his fees shall be returned prorata.
If he withdraw or be dropped from the rolls for any cause after the middle
of any term no refund shall be made for that term, except in case of sickness
when the refund shall be pro-rated upon certificate of the University Physician
or other reputable medical practitioner.
In any case a minimum charge of $5 shall be made to cover cost of registration.
Laboratory fees shall be refunded upon statement of professor in charge
except where the withdrawal is within five days after registering.
Regulation Concerning Registration as Virginia Student.—In order to be
considered a Virginia student, it is necessary that the applicant's parents be
domiciled in the State if he be under twenty-one years of age; or if he has
attained his majority, that he himself be domiciled in said State; and that either
his parents or the applicant for admission shall have been bona fide taxpayers
in the State of Virginia for at least two years prior to said application.
Sons of Regular Officers of the United States Army, Navy, Marine
Corps, Coast Guard, or Public Health Service, whether on the active or retired
list, irrespective of the location of their posts of duty, are accorded the
privilege of registering under the rules applicable to the registration of Virginia
students.
Superintendents and Teachers of Public Schools Exempt from Fees.—
White male teachers and superintendents of the public schools of Virginia will
be admitted, during the last three months of the session, to the Academic Schools
courses), upon presentation of certificates that they have been teachers in the
public schools of the State during the year. Applicants for admission as teachers
are required to send in their names to the President of the University not
later than March 5.
Ministers of Religion and Candidates for the Ministry.—Ministers of religion
may attend any of the Academic Schools of the University without
payment of the tuition fee. The same privilege will be extended to any young
man who submits testimonials that he is an approved candidate for the ministry,
and unable to meet without aid the expenses of an education.
UNIVERSITY CHARGES[2]
University and Tuition Fees[3]

use of the library; to the privileges of the gymnasium, with baths, etc., (but not private
lockers), and the advice and aid of the physical training staff, and to free medical attendance
by the University Physician in case of illness. It also covers all regular examinations and
diploma fees.
Each student will be charged with an Athletic fee of $15 which will entitle such
student to free admission to all athletic events on our home grounds.
Each student will be charged with a College Topics fee of $1.50 which provides for
each a year's subscription to the publication.
Laboratory Fees
| Biology (each course) | $ 10.00 |

These charges are for three or more courses. For one course the student will pay
one-third, and for two courses, one-half of the University fee and tuition, for the session.
APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY EXPENSES
The figures in the following tables may be taken as fairly accurate approximations
of all necessary expenses for a session of nine months. As necessary
expenses are reckoned here University, tuition, and athletic and Topics fees,
laboratory fees, lodging, board, laundry, and books, but not clothing, traveling
expenses, or pocket money. For each department three estimates are given—
a low, an average, and a liberal estimate. The difference in the three depends
on the difference of expenditure for board, lodging, books, and laundry—in
other words, on the scale of living of the individual student. If a student shares
a room with another student, and practices the strictest economy, he may possibly
reduce his expenses below the estimate.

The Virginia State Teachers' Scholarships in the Department of Education:
thirty scholarships annually, twenty each with a value of $200, and ten
each with a value of $100, were established in 1918 by action of the General
Assembly of Virginia. The holder must be a Virginian in need of financial assistance
in order to attend the University; and he must pledge himself to teach
or engage in some other form of public school work in Virginia for at least
two years, or, failing this, to repay to the University the full value of the
scholarship. Blank forms of application may be had upon request to Dean John
L. Manahan, Chairman of the Committee on State Teachers' Scholarships.
Appointments prior to September 1 of each year are made upon the recommendation
of division superintendents. Any scholarships unassigned on September
1 are open to applicants from the State at large.
In addition to the Virginia State Teachers' Scholarships, there are a number
of other scholarships in the University available for students of Education.
A detailed description of them is given in the General Catalogue of the University.
LOAN FUNDS AND STUDENT SELF-HELP
The University is in possession of funds from which loans are made to
deserving students in need of such assistance. An account of these loans is
given in the General Catalogue. Inquiries concerning them should be addressed
to the Bursar.
Opportunities for obtaining remunerative employment are afforded to students
University. It is difficult to give definite assurance of employment to a student
before he reaches the University, but it may be stated that any student with
sufficient resources to carry him through the first half of the session can be
reasonably sure of obtaining work which will help defray his expenses for the
rest of the academic year. Information as to employment may be obtained by
addressing the Director, Box 1487, University, Virginia.
BOARD AND LODGING
Dormitories.—Students may reside in the University dormitories, in their
homes, or in private houses approved by the President. The President will
withdraw from the approved list any house in which the regulations as to the
conduct of students are not observed. Any change of residence during the session
should be reported at the office of the Registrar.
For rules governing the rental and occupancy of University dormitories,
and the rates charged for the same, see below. For list of private lodging houses,
with rates, apply to the Bursar.

Lawn and West Lawn, East Range and West Range, Dawson's Row, and
Randall Building.
Hot water heat and electric light are furnished throughout the dormitories.
Each occupant of a dormitory room must provide a pillow, pillow cases,
single sheets, blankets, towels, etc., and whatever rugs, curtains, etc., he may

Description and Rates
The Halls.—The most comfortable, best-equipped, and most modern rooming
accomodations in the University or in the city are to be found in the new
University dormitories, erected in 1929. Ths group of eight buildings stands on
the crest of the slope west of Monroe Hill, with an outlook on the Ragged
Mountains and the range of the Blue Ridge, and is within less than three
minutes walking distance from the gymnasium, the academic, engineering and
law class-rooms, and the University Commons.
These eight buildings are divided into twelve separate units, known as
Halls, each with its individual entrance, and each bearing the name of some
professor, distinguished in the history of the University. The buildings are
of three stories and of full fire-proof brick and cement construction throughout.
They provide one hundred and fifty-three two-room apartments, of living-room
and bedroom, each apartment intended to accommodate two students.
All of the rooms are approximately fifteen feet square. Each living-room
has an open fire place and is furnished with a desk with drawers, a table with
drawer, a steel waste-basket, two rocking-chairs, two straight chairs and floor-plugs
for reading lamps. Each bedroom has two large built-in clothes closets,
and is furnished with two single beds, two chiffoniers, and two straight chairs.
All furniture is new, of excellent quality and attractive design, the bed-springs
and mattresses of especially high grade.
There is an average of one bathroom to every five students. The bathrooms,
each equipped with showers and an individual built-in steel locker and
a medicine chest with mirror for each student using it, are so placed that every
bed-room, with one sole exception, opens directly into a bath.
Telephone service is provided in each Hall. Trunks and packing cases will
not be permitted in the apartments of The Halls dormitories. They must be
delivered to the trunk room in each Hall from which the student will remove
the contents to his room. Trunks and packing cases will be stored in dry racks
located in the basement. Each apartment will ordinarily be occupied by two
students. The rental for the nine months of the regular session is $150 per
student (or $300 for each apartment).
East Lawn and West Lawn are of one-story brick construction. They
contain thirty-eight rooms, each approximately twelve feet square, located between
the pavilions and opening into colonnades running the entire length of
"The Lawn." The rental of twenty-seven of the rooms for the session, is $125
for one occupant or $170 for two occupants. The remaining nine rooms, called
Bachelors' Row, rent for $115 for one occupant, or $160 for two occupants.
These rooms are reserved for applicants for senior degrees.
East Range and West Range consist of forty-six one-story brick rooms,
approximately twelve feet square, built in sections running the entire length
of "The Ranges," and opening into arcades. In addition, there are two two-story
brick houses called the Old Gymnasium and the Club House, containing
fourteen rooms, approximately fifteen feet square. The rental of the rooms on
the Ranges, for the session, is $125 for one occupant or $170 for two. The rooms
in the Old Gymnasium and the Club House rent for $80 for one occupant or
$110 for two.
Dawson's Row consists of a series of four eight-room two-story brick
houses, and a six-room one-story brick house, located on the southwest side of
the grounds. The rooms are approximately fifteen feet square. The rental
of fifty-one of the rooms, for the session, is $95 for one occupant or $130 for
two. Four of the rooms rent for $60 for one occupant or $80 for two.
All of the rooms on the Lawns and Ranges and in Dawson's Row are provided
with running cold water. For each of the Lawns and Ranges one bathhouse
is provided and there is a bath-house in Dawson's Row.
Randall Building.—A two-story brick building, located at the south end of
East Range, containing thirty-one single rooms ten by fourteen, ten by fifteen
and ten by sixteen; eight double rooms fourteen by fifteen, fifteen by fifteen
and fifteen by seventeen; one double room with study-room attached. Single
rooms rent at $80 to $90; double rooms $125 for one occupant or $150 for
two occupants. Double room with study-room attached, for one occupant
$135, or $180 for two occupants.
The furnishing of the rooms on the Lawns and Ranges, in Dawson's
Row and Randall Building is as follows: For one occupant—an enameled iron
bed with comfortable springs and mattress, a chiffonier, a table, a straight chair
and a rocking-chair. For two occupants—two single beds or one double-deck
rocking-chair and two straight chairs.
BOARD
Board.—Students may board at the University Commons, at their homes,
or in private boarding houses or restaurants approved by the President. For
cost of board at the University Commons, see below. For list of private
boarding houses, with rates, apply to the Bursar.
University Commons
Meals may be had at the University Commons, a handsome building overlooking
the McIntire Theatre and within two minutes walk of the dormitories.
The interior of the beautiful panelled main room makes a charming atmosphere
for dining and the furnishings are attractive. The meals are prepared
by an experienced chef under the supervision of a trained dietitian and careful
attention is given to quality and service. Board is supplied at cost and it is
expected that the rate will in no event exceed $25 per month. Since the
capacity of the Commons limits the number accommodated to about 350, it is
essential that students make early application for reservations to Dr. E. A.
Kincaid, Manager, 15 Monroe Hall.
