THE SUMMER QUARTER

The Summer Quarter is an integral part of the University year. Courses in
the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as in the Department of Education, are
the same in character and in credit value as in any other Quarter of the University.
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. 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.

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. This 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 official signature of the
head of the candidate's college and must specify the character and content of the
courses passed by the candidate and must give his grades. In every case the candidate
must spend at least three full Summer Quarters or an equivalent time at
the University in order to meet the residence requirements.

The Master's degree may be obtained by properly qualified 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 and the
Summer Quarter.

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 requirements and work for which
college credit is desired. Blanks for this purpose will be mailed upon application.

First Term begins June 17 and ends July 27. Second Term begins July 29
and ends August 31.

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 30, at 8 o'clock, when the degrees will
be conferred.

Summer Quarter, Box 1337, University, Virginia.
