EXCESS MATRICULATION CREDIT.

Students who bring from accredited preparatory schools credits in excess of the requirements for matriculation must pass an examination at the University in the subjects covered by such credits before these may be counted as canceling any portion of the one hundred and twenty-four or more units required for graduation. In lieu of examination for advanced credit in a given matriculation subject, the Faculty may accept, as a 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 advanced credits may be acquired are as follows: 4, 7, 8, 9, 12a1, 12a2, 12a3, 15, 16, and 17.

An excess matriculation credit in the foregoing list of subjects, or in other subjects, which may be granted upon credentials, without examination, may be offered by way of reduction of the work in these subjects prescribed for the Junior Certificate, though not of the total number of units required in the University (normally 64) for the Certificate.

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, as students in regular standing for the first year; their status, after that, to be determined in accordance with the evidence of scholarship presented in each case, provided, that full and regular standing be not given to such students until such matriculation subjects as are not included, or not sufficiently treated, in the curricula of the normal schools, be made good. 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.

Until further notice, the recommended graduates of the State normal schools of California who maintain a creditable standing in the University will be excused from matriculation examinations provided they present credentials showing the satisfactory completion of the matriculation requirement in foreign languages. 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 a degree.

Recommended graduates of the California State normal schools may, under certain conditions, be allowed advanced credit in the University. A circular explaining the conditions according to which such credit may be obtained will be sent upon application to the Recorder of the Faculties.

ADMISSION ON TEACHERS' DIPLOMAS.

Holders of Teachers' Life Diplomas or of State Educational Diplomas of this State, or holders of similar diplomas recognized by the State Board of Education of California, may be admitted to the University as regular students, with the privilege of satisfying matriculation requirements by examination or by work in the University.

THE JUNIOR CERTIFICATE.

The Junior Certificate marks the division between the Lower Division and the Upper Division of the undergraduate course. With few exceptions, all prescribed subjects not directly related to the student's major or advanced work will have been completed either during the high-school course or in the Lower Division. The work of the Lower Division comprises normally the studies of the Freshman and Sophomore years. The work of the Upper Division must be extended through at least two years; in the colleges of engineering normally three years are required.

All candidates for the bachelor's degree in the Colleges of Letters, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences and Commerce must qualify for the Junior Certificate before proceeding to the work of the Upper Division. The same rule holds for the general course in the College of Agriculture, but not for the technical course in that college.

For the Junior Certificate, 64 units of University work are required, in addition to Subject A and in addition to the 45 units required for matriculation, making a total of 109 units. These 64 units of Lower Division credit may normally be completed in two years, but students are required to remain in the Lower Division only until such time as they are able to complete the requirements for the Junior Certificate. Students in the Lower Division may take as high as 19 units of University work per half-year, in addition to the prescribed courses in Military Science, Physical Culture, and Hygiene.

Students in the technical course, as distinguished from the general course, in the College of Agriculture, and students in Mechanics, Mining, Civil Engineering, and Chemistry may receive the bachelor's degree in the four-year courses by completing the curricula given hereinafter, without working according to the Junior Certificate plan. Students in the five-year courses in Mechanics, Mining, Civil Engineering, and Chemistry may choose their electives so as to obtain the Junior Certificate, or they may, if they prefer, proceed to the degree without the Certificate.

The requirements for the Junior Certificate for students in all colleges, and for students at large, may be summarized as follows:

SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS FOR THE JUNIOR CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING REQUIREMENTS FOR

MATRICULATION.

General Explanation. In this table the normal amount of work represented both by preparatory or high school subjects, and by the University courses, is specified quantitatively. In the University a unit signifies one hour per week of recitation or lecture, with preparation therefor, during one half-year. In the preparatory school a course of study taken for one year at five periods per week is valued at 3 units.

In addition to the requirements here tabulated, all candidates for the Junior Certificate must pass an examination in Subject A. An examination in this subject will be given sometime after the beginning of each half-year. Every intrant admitted to regular first-year or second-year standing is required to take an examination in Subject A before the close of his first half-year's work; failure to take the examination in Subject A at the time required, or failure to pass, has the same effect upon the student's standing as a failure to pass in an ordinary course,

All students who are candidates for degrees according to the Junior Certificate plan must have credit before graduation for at least 6 units of French or German. The requirement in Foreign Languages for the Junior Certificate may or may not include these 6 units.

Unless expressly provided for in this table, no part of the prescribed work may be taken during the last two years of residence or

after the receipt of the Junior Certificate. All matriculation deficiencies must be removed before the student leaves the Lower Division. The number of units which the student must average term by term, in order to complete in two years the work of the Lower Division, is sixteen. Regular students, then, ought not to take much less than sixteen units, and beginners should not attempt more without official advice.

Students who do not take Military Science, Physical Culture, or Hygiene must make up the deficiency in hours in other departments of study.

[The requirements are stated in "units;" see preceding page for explanation.]

FOOTNOTES (1 TO 7) TO TABLE.

1. Matriculation.-The candidate for admission must have chosen his 45 units in such a way as to have a total of 12 units of subjects designated as "advanced," including History and Government of the United States, and including one of the following sciences, if taken, with laboratory work, in the third or fourth year of the high school course: Physics, Chemistry, Zoology, Physiology. The preparatory subjects listed as "advanced" are: 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 (excluding the sciences of the first and second years of the high school, and excluding 12c and 12e), 13b, 14, 15a3, 15a', 15b3, 15b*.

Applicants entering the Colleges of Natural Sciences, Agriculture, Engineering, or Chemistry, or expecting to take up other courses of study 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, the College of Social Sciences, or for other 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.

2. Students at Large.-Students at large are admitted to the University provided they have credit for any 45 units of matriculation work. They will be granted the Junior Certificate as students at large on completing the requirements given in this column and on passing an examination in Subject A, but will be granted the Junior Certificate as candidates for degrees only upon the completion of the requirements for the Certificate as prescribed for regular students.

3. College of Letters.-The requirements in Greek and Latin are as follows: matriculation Latin, 6 units; either matriculation or college Latin, 6 units; either matriculation or college Greek, 9 units; college Greek, 3 units; college Greek or Latin, or both, 6 units. Total, 30 units.
