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. (With special permission,
an additional hour may be carried each term.)

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 15 and ends July 25. Second Term begins July
27 and ends August 29.

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

Summer Quarter, Box 1337, University, Virginia.
