REGISTRATION

Registration of New Students.—Applicants seeking admission to the
University for the first time are required to present themselves to the
Dean of the University at his office in the Administration Building at
some time during the first three days of the session. Each candidate for
admission must be at least sixteen years of age. In each instance a
certificate of good moral character must be presented, signed by the proper
official of the institution attended during the previous session, or by some
person of known standing. Each candidate who satisfies these requirements,
and also those for admission by diploma, certificate, or examination
previously stated, will be directed to the Dean of the Department which
he purposes to enter.

The Dean in question will, upon being satisfied that the candidate is
fitted to enter upon the work of the Department, issue to him a card
containing the names of the courses which the candidate proposes to pursue
during the session: this card must be presented in turn to each professor
concerned, who will, on satisfying himself that the applicant is prepared to
pursue the course in question with profit, sign the card and enter the
applicant's name upon the roll of the class. The card must then be returned
to the Dean of the University, who will endorse upon it the amount
of fees to be paid to the Proctor. On payment of these fees the registration
(for the session) of the applicant as a student of the University will
be completed.

Registration of Matriculated Students.—Students who have already
been matriculated as members of the University are required to present

themselves directly to the Dean of their respective Departments upon one
of the first three days of the session, and to conform, as regards their
registration in their respective classes, and the payment of fees, to the
requirements stated in the preceding paragraph.

Delayed Registration.—Students are not permitted to delay their
registration through carelessness or for inadequate reasons. Any student,
new or old, who fails to present himself for registration during the first
three days of the session will (except in the case of an applicant admitted
to special examinations, as provided in a previous paragraph) be admitted
to registration only upon the consent of the President, and will be charged
a special registration fee of three dollars.
