Applicants entering the Colleges of Engineering, or the College of Chemistry, or expecting to take up other courses of study (for example, certain of the courses in Agriculture) presupposing a knowledge of the elements of Physics or Chemistry, with laboratory practice (matriculation subjects 11, 12b), should provide for this work either during the high school course or during the University summer sessions. No equivalent for this work is offered during the regular sessions of the University. Applicants for the College of Letters and Science in courses of study requiring matriculation Latin, subject 6, should notice that the University does not offer instruction in this subject either during the regular sessions or during the summer sessions. Applicants who enter the College of Letters and Science or the College of Commerce with less than twelve units of matriculation credit for foreign language may find it necessary to complete an unusual amount of foreign language during the freshman and sophomore years. 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. ADMISSION FROM CALIFORNIA STATE NORMAL SCHOOLS By a provision of the Academic Senate, the State normal schools of California may recommend their graduates for admission without examination; but students who come from the normal schools without credit for the required matriculation work in foreign languages will be conditioned in this requirement. Any courses (e.g., French or German) taken in the University for the purpose of satisfying requirements for matriculation are credited only for matriculation, and not as a part of the 124 or more units required for the degree. Graduates of the California State normal schools who are also graduates of accredited high schools may, under certain conditions, receive advanced credit in the University amounting to forty-eight units of the sixty-four units required for the Junior Certificate. The credit so granted may, at the discretion of any University department concerned, be accepted as satisfying prerequisites for advanced or major work. A form of recommendation for admission to the University from the State normal schools will be furnished by the Recorder of the Faculties upon application. ADMISSION FROM SCHOOLS OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA Students desiring to matriculate from states other than California will be accepted upon presenting an admission certificate from any of the dental schools holding membership in the Dental Faculties Association of American Universities. The schools holding membership in this Association are: Harvard University Dental School, University of Pennsylvania School of Dentistry, University of Michigan School of Dentistry, University of Iowa School of Dentistry, University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, University of California College of Dentistry and Washington University Dental School.

FURTHER INFORMATION For further information concerning the preparatory subjects, matriculation examinations, admission to advanced standing and the requirements for the Junior Certificate and the Bachelor's Degree refer to the circular of information concerning the Academic Colleges, copies of which may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties. FOREIGN STUDENTS Students desiring to matriculate in this College from foreign countries will be permitted to substitute satisfactory courses in History, Law, Language and Literature in lieu of similar preliminary requirements offered by high schools accredited to the University of California. A knowledge of English sufficient to comprehend the course of study will be required, in all cases to be determined by the official examiner. ADMISSION TO ADVANCED GRADES ON CERTIFICATES The College will receive into the advanced grades of second year and third year only such students as hold certificates of having passed examinations in the studies of the first-year or second-year grades respectively, in a school which demands the same or higher preliminary educational requirements and maintains the same curriculum; except that a student who presents satisfactory evidence of graduation from a reputable medical college, may then be received into the second-year grade, provided he make up such subjects taught in the first year as he has not previously studied. All students who have successfully passed their examinations for advanced standing and have complied with all the rules of the College of Dentistry shall have their certificates given or mailed to them within thirty days after such examinations shall have been completed, such certificates to be pledges to any college to whom the holders may apply, that the requisite number of terms have been spent in the College of Dentistry, University of California. THE MASTER'S DEGREE Bachelors of Arts, Letters, or Sciences of this University who are pursuing regular courses leading to a degree in the College of Dentistry will be recommended to the appropriate Faculty for an appropriate master's degree (M.A., M.L., or M.S.), under the following conditions: (a) The candidate, already a bachelor, must have finished creditably two years of the curriculum of the professional college. (b) He must have received credit, in addition to his work for the professional degree, for a seminar of research course of the value of four units; and such seminar or research course must be approved by the Academic Council; and he must present a dissertation or thesis, subject to the usual regulation for the master's degree. EXTRACTS FROM REGULATIONS The following are the regulations governing undergraduate attendance, except such as are given elsewhere in this Announcement: ATTENDANCE Eighty per cent of attendance will be required in all lecture and laboratory courses as well as in general attendance. Every student is required to attend all his class exercises and to satisfy the instructor in each of his courses of study, in such a way as the instructor may determine, that he is performing the work of the course in a systematic manner. Any instructor, with the approval of the Dean, may at any time exclude from his course any student who, in his judgment, has neglected the work of the course. Any student thus excluded shall be recorded as having failed in the course of study from which he is excluded, unless the Faculty shall otherwise determine. EXAMINATIONS No student will be excused from assigned examinations. No book, manuscript or other source of information shall be brought into any examination room, except by the explicit order of the examiner. Nor shall any student, in the course of an examination, have any communication with another student for any reason whatever. Any student tardy at an examination will be debarred from taking it, unless an excuse for such tardiness entirely satisfactory to the examiner be renuered. A fee of five dollars is charged for every special examination. Any supplementary or deferred test required by an instructor of a student for the purpose of making up a course left "incomplete" is regarded as a special examination. Students taking two or more such examinations in courses taken during any one half-year will be charged not to exceed ten (10) dollars for all such examinations, instead of being charged at the rate of five dollars for each examination. GRADES OF SCHOLARSHIPS The results of examinations, together with term work when a record of the latter is kept, will be ranked and reported to the Recorder in five grades. The 1st grade denotes marked excellence. The 2nd grade indicates that the student's work has been thoroughly satisfactory. The 2nd grade denotes a pass. Courses in which students have obtained a 4th grade will not be credited to them, except upon the condition of passing a re-examination. The 5th grade indicates a failure and the necessity of repeating not only the examinations of the course, but also the regular work, in accordance with these regulations. The report in case of absence from an examination, or of failure to perform any of the allotted tasks in a given course, is incomplete. Work so reported must be made up within a year. Re-examinations are permitted only for the purpose of removing deficiencies. Students who have received second grade or third grade in a given course are not allowed re-examinations for the purpose of improving their grading. CONDITIONS AND FAILURES For the removal of conditions, students shall have the privilege of taking the regular mid-year or annual examinations in the subjects in which they are conditioned. Examinations may be held at other times only by special permission of the Academic Council and on payment of a fee of five dollars. Opportunity for the removal of matriculation deficiencies is offered at the entrance examinations each year in August and January. Any undergraduate student who is reported as having failed in an examination, or who, after being conditioned, does not pass the reexamination for the removal of the condition, will be required to repeat every such deficient subject with the class that next takes it; unless, on recommendation of the officer of instruction in charge, the Faculty shall permit him to review a subject in which he is thus deficient with the assistance of an acceptable private tutor. By resolution of the Faculty, students who have failed to remove conditions by re-examination in August, provided such conditions exceed three or whose failures exceed one in number, will not be recommended for promotion. LEAVE OF ABSENCE Prolonged leave of absence must be sought by written petition to the Dean, and the petition must specify the length of time (not more than a year) and the reason for which the leave is desired. An indefinite leave of absence will in no case be granted. A student must apply for leave to be absent or excuse for having been absent from any college exercise other than examination to the officer of instruction in charge of such exercise; unless, for unavoidable cause, the student is obliged to absent himself from all college exercises for one day or several days, in which case the Dean will issue a written excuse of leave. Leave to be absent from an examination must be sought by written petition to the proper officer of instruction. |
