ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
Requirements for the Admission of Men.—To be admitted to regular
standing in the Department of Education, men must have satisfied the entrance
requirements of the College. Students who have decided to enter
the teaching profession at the time of entering the University should register
with the Dean of the Department of Education in order to be advised in planning
their curricula. Holders of State Teachers' Scholarships are required
to register in the Department of Education.
Requirements for the Admission of Women.—To be admitted to regular
standing in the Department of Education, women must be twenty years of
age, must meet the entrance requirements of the University and must have
completed two years of college work aggregating 30 session-hours in
academic subjects. Candidates not able to meet these requirements may
make up their deficiencies during the Summer Quarter.
All women students must first register at the office of the Dean of Women,
20 East Lawn.
Women planning to enter the Department of Education after completing
the two years of work required for admission should choose, during the two
years, courses corresponding to the University courses recommended for
students at the University during the same period. The Dean will welcome
conferences with such students before they begin training elsewhere.
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
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.
Advanced Standing is given to any candidate who, in addition to meeting
the minimum requirements for entrance above stated, can show by passing
an examination given sometime during the first month of his first session
that he has done work equivalent to that covered by any of the following
courses offered in the college: Latin A1, Greek A1, Greek A2, English A1
or A2, Mathematics A1, German A1, French A1, Spanish A1, Italian A1.
Candidates who apply for examination for advanced standing must present
a special certificate showing that the full content of the course, on which
advanced standing is sought, has been covered in a systematic manner in the
preparatory school, and in addition must present the specific recommendation
of the principal of the school that the candidate be admitted to the
advanced standing examination in question.
College Credit.—Candidates 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 department a certificate covering
the courses for which college credit is desired. The certificate must bear the
official signature of the head of the candidate's college, must specify the
character and content of the courses passed by the candidate, and must give
his grades. The final validation of such certificates is effected by the successful
completion of not less than 12 session-hours of work during his first session.
In no case will credit be given on more than 45 session-hours of work done
elsewhere, and any candidate who receives this maximum amount of credit
can count among the remaining 15 session-hours required for his degree
only the credit value of the courses he has passed as a resident student in
the College of Arts and Sciences, exclusive of any credit for work done in
the Summer Quarter or in any of the professional departments. In every
be a regular session of nine months, exclusively in college work in this University;
and the courses offered as Major Electives must all have been completed
in residence in this University. A maximum of 15 session-hours may
be granted for one year of college work, and 33 hours for two years.
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.
Conditioned Students.—A candidate for entrance must offer 15 units as
defined by the Southern Commission on Accredited Schools. At least 13 of
the units offered must be included in the list of units accepted for admission
on page 10. A student who, while able to offer 15 units, cannot offer 15
units as defined in this list, may be conditioned on any 2 units not including
English A, B, or C, or Mathematics A1. All conditions should be absolved
before the beginning of the session following initial registration. This may
be done by passing entrance examinations or by passing equivalent courses
in the Summer Quarter. But no course taken to remove a condition may
be counted as part of the work credited toward a degree. No conditioned
student may be awarded a degree until his entrance conditions are absolved,
nor may he be later registered as a special student.
