ADMISSION WITH DEFICIENCIES

The question of admitting an applicant to the University with matriculation deficiencies is decided in each case by the Academic Senate or its committees upon the merits of the case. In general, applicants with less than forty-five units of matriculation credit are not admitted.

All courses taken in the University for the purpose of making up matriculation deficiencies are credited solely on the student's matriculation account, and are not credited as part of the sixty-four units required in the lower division for the junior certificate. This holds even though the student enters with forty-five units of matriculation credit. For example: a student may enter the University under Group I with fortyfive units of matriculation credit but without credit in foreign languages. Such a student is conditioned in from six to twelve units of matriculation work in foreign languages, and these units, whether taken in the University or otherwise, form no part of the sixty-four units required in the lower division for the junior certificate.

Students who are admitted with deficiencies in matriculation subjects not given in the regular session of the University, may remove these deficiencies by passing the matriculation examinations or by courses in the summer session.

Students who intend to take up at the University courses of study which presuppose a knowledge of matriculation subjects in which they are deficient, are advised to remove these deficiencies before entering the regular session of the University.

SURPLUS MATRICULATION CREDIT

Students who bring to the University any matriculation credits in excess of the requirements for matriculation must pass an examination in the University in each subject covered by such credits before these may be counted as cancelling any portion of the one hundred and twenty-four or more units required for graduation. In lieu of such examination for university credit in a given matriculation subject, the Faculty may accept as sufficient evidence of proficiency, a thoroughly satisfactory record (at least second grade) in higher work in the same subject, or in a closely related subject, taken in the University. The preparatory subjects in which university credits may be acquired are as follows: 4, 7, 8, 9, 12a1, 12a', 12a3, 15, 16, and 17.

A surplus matriculation credit in the foregoing list of subjects, or in other subjects, which may be granted upon recommendation or credentials, without examination, may be used to reduce the number of units in these specific subjects prescribed, in the University, for the junior certificate, but not to reduce the total number of units required (normally 64) for the certificate.

STUDENTS AT LARGE

The admission requirements for students at large are the same as for regular students. Students entering in this way may take as much university work as is permitted to regular students without matriculation conditions. They will, like all other students in the University, be permitted to enroll only in courses of instruction for which they have the necessary scholastic preparation. By virtue of their status they are not candidates for a degree.

The study-lists of students at large are supervised by the Dean of the Lower Division.

SPECIAL STUDENTS

The administration of special students is in the hands of the Committee on Special Students.

In general, admission to the University as a special student can be arranged only by personal conference with the Committee through its chairman, and with the departments, colleges or schools concerned; such admission usually can not be arranged by correspondence. No person

less than twenty-one years of age will be admitted to special status, but it is specifically emphasized that mere attainment of the age of twenty-one years or more does not constitute adequate qualification for such status.

Prospective applicants should communicate with the Committee on Special Students through the Recorder of the Faculties at least six months prior to the time of intended entrance. This is particularly important since entrance examinations, at least in subjects of fundamental importance for the work proposed, will be prescribed in practically all cases, and time should be allowed for preparation.

The University has no "special courses'; all courses are organized for regular students-that is, students who have had the equivalent of a good high school education and have been fully matriculated. Special students are admitted to such regular courses as they may be adjudged capable of mastering.

Applicants will not be admitted directly from the secondary schools to the status of special student.

Administrative officers and teachers in high schools and preparatory schools are urged to read carefully the foregoing statement with respect to the admission of special students to the University and to apprise their students accordingly. Such procedure will obviate much unnecessary misunderstanding and disappointment for prospective applicants.

LIMITED STUDENTS

The requirements for admission to a limited course are the same as for admission to a regular course.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREPARATORY SUBJECTS

A. Oral and Written Expression in English. Training in this subject enters into the proper treatment of all topics of study taken up in the school course, and extends to speaking and oral reading as well as to writing. Its aim is to secure to the student the ability to use his mothertongue correctly, clearly, and pertinently on all lines upon which his thought is exercised.*

B. Ability to read intelligently a piece of ordinary prose in French, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, or Spanish, and to render it into good English. This subject is mentioned in this place because of the fundamental importance of a proper high school training in meeting this requirement.

Subject A is a requirement for junior standing in all colleges at Berkeley and B is a requirement for junior standing in the College of Letters and Science and in the College of Commerce. It is required for the bachelor's degree in the College of Agriculture. Credit is given upon examination only. The examinations are not required before entrance.

* See English in the Secondary Schools, pp. 20-33 (University Press, Berkeley, 1906), for suggestions to teachers and pupils regarding the discipline involved.

English. The high school course in English preparatory to the university consists partly in the study of composition, partly in the study of literature, as outlined in detail under subjects 1, 14a, and 14b. Though several alternative courses are permitted (see under 14a and 14b), the intrant will in no case be given more than twelve units of matriculation credit in English. Of the books listed under 1, 14a and 14b, some are for close study in class, others for outside reading and report. Items marked with an asterisk (*) are for outside reading only, but items not so marked may be assigned for outside reading instead. Candidates for admission not authentically recommended to the University will be examined solely on books assigned for close study. Their examiners will look for evidence of thoughtful study and for the power to write English in a correct, orderly and fitting manner, rather than for minute information.
