(1) For admission to the Department of Education a candidate must meet
the general requirements for admission to the University and also the specific
requirements as to number and selection of high school units required for admission
to the College of Arts and Sciences.

(2) Regular Students: For admission as a regular student in the Department
of Education a candidate, in addition to meeting the above general
requirements, must satisfy one of the following:

(b) Present an official transcript of record showing the satisfactory completion
of the program of study leading to the normal diploma from a standard
teacher-training institution.

(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.

(b) Men may be admitted as special students without fulfilling the entrance
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 to
make up deficiencies by private study or by taking courses in the Summer
Quarter. They will then be admitted as regular students, and may be accepted
as applicants for degrees, provided all entrance requirements are met at least
one academic year before the date of graduation.

An applicant who has regularly attended a secondary school until he is
twenty years of age without, because of failure, obtaining credit for 15 acceptable
entrance units, will not be accepted as a special student.

(c) Women, twenty-five years of age, giving satisfactory evidence that 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.
