Admission from Secondary School as a Regular Student.—For admission
to the College of Arts and Sciences as a regular student, the candidate must
possess an amount of preparation which is at least the equivalent of that
represented by four years of successful work in an accredited school. He
must offer, either by certificate or by examination, 15 units, of which 3 must
be in English and 2½ in Mathematics (1½ in Algebra, 1 in Plane Geometry).
The remaining 9½ units may be selected at will, but no credit will be given
for less than 2 units in any foreign language, and credit will not be given for
more than 4 vocational units.
Admission from Other Colleges.—An applicant for admission to the College
of this University from an institution of collegiate rank may be admitted
upon presentation of a satisfactory transcript of his record at his former college.
No student suspended from another college for scholastic deficiency or
on probation in another college for scholastic deficiency will be admitted to
the College of this University in the immediately succeeding session, unless
he passes at least one year-course, or the equivalent, in one term of the
Summer Quarter of this University.
No student from another college will be admitted to the College of this
University if he has ever been suspended or on probation more than once, or
if he has ever been both on probation and suspended.
Credit for Work Done in Other Colleges.—Credit toward a degree may
be allowed for work completed in another college upon presentation of a
satisfactory transcript of record. In no case will credit be given for more
than fifteen courses completed elsewhere. (See definition of a course under
Requirements for Degrees.) A maximum credit for five courses may be
granted for one year of work in another college, and a credit of eleven
record is effected by the successful completion of not less than four courses
during the candidate's first session here.
In every case, the last session of candidacy for a degree, which must be a
regular session of nine months or three full summer quarters, must be spent
exclusively in college work in this University; and all courses offered in a
Field of Concentration for the Bachelor of Arts or cultural Bachelor of
Science degrees must be completed in residence in this University.
In general, credit will not be granted for work completed elsewhere
with the lowest passing grade, if the grades are given as letters, or with a
grade below 75 per cent, if the grades are given as percentages, unless the
student passes an advanced course in the same subject here.
Conditioned Students.—A candidate for admission must offer 15 acceptable
entrance units. A student who, while able to offer 15 units, cannot offer
second-year (intermediate) algebra or plane geometry, may be admitted with
a condition in either or both of these subjects. An entrance condition should
be absolved before the beginning of the session following initial registration.
This may be done by passing entrance examinations or by summer work.
A student with an entrance condition should not attempt to study mathematics
here, and no conditioned student may be awarded a degree until his
condition is absolved.
Special Students.—A candidate may be admitted as a special student
without fulfilling the entrance requirements above specified, provided that, if
he is a Virginian, he is more than twenty years old, or, if he is not a Virginian,
he is more than twenty-three years old, on the day of registration, and
gives adequate evidence of serious purpose and of the training needed to pursue
with profit the courses for which he is registered. No special student
may be a candidate for a degree; but such students are permitted and encouraged
to make up their 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 admitted as a special student.
Admission of Women.—Women are admitted as candidates for the
vocational degrees of Bachelor of Science in Architecture, Bachelor of Science
in Chemistry and Bachelor of Science in Commerce. They are not admitted
as candidates for the B.A. or cultural B.S. degrees, as pre-professional students,
or as special students. In order to be admitted as a candidate for a
vocational degree, an applicant must be at least twenty years old on the
birthday preceding matriculation; must present a certificate showing graduation
from an accredited public high school, or not less than four years'
attendance in an accredited private school, with credit for not less than 15
college entrance units obtained at least two years before admission to the
University; and must in addition show by proper certificate the completion
in a standard college, subsequent to the credit obtained for 15 entrance units,
of at least ten courses (30 session-hours or 60 semester-hours) of college
grade, in not less than eighteen calendar months.
Admission during the Session.—No applicant for admission to the College
of Arts and Sciences will be admitted after the second week of lectures,
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. A few students, of exceptional preparation and
ability, may be admitted at the beginning of the second term, January 4.
No students are admitted in February.
