The be received at least three weeks in advance of the examinations. applications and fees of candidates who wish to be examined in the United States at points east of the Mississippi River or on the Mississippi River must be received at least two weeks in advance of the first day of the examinations. When the candidate has failed to obtain the required blank form of application for examination the usual examination fee will be accepted if the fee arrive not later than the specified date accompanied by a memorandum containing the name and address of the candidate, the examination center at which he wishes to present himself, and a list of all the subjects in which he may have occasion to take the Board's examinations. Applications received later than the dates named will be accepted when it is possible to arrange for the admission of the candidates concerned, but only upon payment of $5.00 in addition to the usual fee. A list of the places at which examinations are to be held by the Board in June, 1918, will be published about March 1. Requests that the examinations be held at particular points, to receive proper consideration, should be transmitted to the Secretary of the Board not later than February 1. Points on the Pacific Coast at which examinations are usually held are as follows: Berkeley, Los Angeles, Nordhoff, Stanford University, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma. Dividing of Matriculation Examinations An applicant for admission may, if he prefers, take his matriculation examinations in two parts-(a) preliminary, (b) final-but not more than two. The preliminary examination may be taken either in August or January. The final examination must be taken not later than eighteen months after the preliminary examination. The applicant may divide his examinations in any way that he prefers, provided that he passes the required 45 units during the two examination periods taken together. Applicants who are twenty-one years of age or who have been graduated from four-year courses in high schools or other secondary schools are not subject to the above limitations as to the division of examinations, but they may take their examinations at such times as they prefer until all the required examinations shall have been passed. For the purpose of division between two series of examinations, the examinations given in June by the College Entrance Examination Board and those in August given by the University in the same year may count as one series, the applicant, at his option, taking a part in June and a part in August. 2. ADMISSION FROM ACCREDITED SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA Admission from accredited schools is regulated by the following Order of the Regents, passed March 4, 1884, and amended September 10, 1895, and January 10, 1905: "Upon the request of the principal of any public or private school in California whose course of study embraces, in kind and extent, the subjects required for admission to any college of the University at Berkeley, a committee of the Academic Senate will visit such school and report upon the quality of the instruction there given. If the report of such committee be favorable, a graduate of the school, upon the personal recommendation of the principal, accompanied by his certificate that the graduate has satisfactorily completed the studies of the course preparatory to the college he wishes to enter, may, at the discretion of the Faculty of such college, be admitted without examination. "Principals' applications made in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing paragraph must be in the hands of the Recorder of the Faculties, at Berkeley, on or before the first day of December of each school year." No school will be accredited unless its course of study includes all the subjects required for admission to at least one of the Academic Colleges. A recommendation from the principal of an accredited school must state distinctly that the graduate in whose favor it is issued was in attendance at that school for at least one year immediately preceding his graduation; or it must be indorsed, i.e., fully concurred in, by the principal or principals of the accredited school or schools previously attended by the applicant. Recommended graduates of accredited schools who wish to postpone their entrance to the University should send their recommendations, with specific request for extension, to the Recorder of the Faculties. Extension may be granted for one year, with the possibility of renewal, upon request. Recommendations become invalid if not presented within twenty months after graduation. LIST OF ACCREDITED SCHOOLS, 1916–17 NOTE. The accrediting of secondary schools is an accrediting of schools rather than subjects. All recommendations issued by the principals will be provisionally accepted by the University, subject to the following conditions: (1) Recommendations are to be issued only for the graduates of the regular courses of the school; (2) Recommendations are to be based exclusively upon the regular work of the school and not upon private "coaching" or special examination; (3) Supplementary" recommendations-for work taken in the high school after the pupil's matriculation in a college or university—are not to be accepted in lieu of matriculation examinations; (4) The status of every undergraduate student is probationary during his first year of residence in the University, and his final allowance of matriculation credit may depend upon his work during this probationary year; (5) The scholarship records in the University of California for the first-year students from each of the accredited schools are kept in such a way as to show the scholarship standing of the school, as reflected by its representatives in the University; and this record is made use of in determining the status of the school as a possible candidate for future accrediting. Recommended graduates who wish to postpone their entrance to the University should send their recommendations, with specific request for extension, to the Recorder of the Faculties. Extension may be granted for one year, with the possibility of renewal, upon request. Recommendations in freehand and geometrical drawing are subject to approval by the department of drawing after the applicant has entered the University. Graduates of accredited schools who enter the University of California should bring their drawings with them to the University for inspection by the department. All schools are accredited for one year only. For convenience, however, the accredited schools are grouped in two divisions. As to the institutions in Division A, there is, in general, a presumption that accredit ing will be continued from year to year. The continued accrediting of the institutions in Division B is rendered somewhat uncertain by undeveloped organization, inadequate resources, or other causes.
