Students at Large are undergraduates devoting to their studies the full time required of regular students, but pursuing purely elective courses.

Special Students are partial course students of mature age and character, admitted to courses in the University upon demonstrating to the officers in charge that they possess requisite ability and preparation.

Limited Students are partial course students to whom, for adequate reasons, less work is permitted, or assigned, than is required of regular students.

Special Students, Students at Large, and Limited Students are, by virtue of their status, not candidates for any degree.

MATRICULATION.

Applicants for admission to regular undergraduate courses must 'be at least sixteen years of age, must give satisfactory references concerning moral character, and must, by examination or by certificate, give evidence of proficiency in such of the subjects as are designated below as required for the Course and Status sought. Applicants must also appear before the University medical examiners and pass a satisfactory physical examination, to the end that the health of the University community may be safe-guarded.

GENERAL LIST OF PREPARATORY SUBJECTS.

NOTE. 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. Laboratory hours not requiring preparation are to be estimated at a lower rate than recitations and lectures.

Subjects 6 and 8 are not credited unless both a and b be passed. Subdivisions of subjects are not permitted unless provided for in the above list.

*

Subject A will hereafter not be required for matriculation by a regular student, but will be required for the Junior Certificate in the Colleges at Berkeley. 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.

Special students, as heretofore, will be required to pass a test in oral and written expression before entering the University. This test will be conducted for each applicant by his adviser. A student who passed this test would still be required to pass Subject A if he desired promotion to Junior standing.

The dagger indicates subjects for which equivalent courses are offered in the University. For further description of these courses reference should be made to the annual Announcement of Courses.

Credit for elementary French, 3 units, or for elementary German, 3 units, may be given to applicants who matriculate with both Latin and Greek and who have studied French or German during the last year of their high-school course and have completed the work ordinarily completed by non-classical pupils in two years.

GROUP I.

For matriculation in the Colleges of Letters, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Commerce; the general course in the College of Agriculture; and the five-year courses in the Colleges of Mechanics, Mining, Civil Engineering, and Chemistry: English, subject 1, 6 units; Foreign Language or Languages, Ancient or Modern, selected from subjects 6, 7, 8, 9, 15-12 units; United States History and Government, subject 5, 3 units; Mathematics, subjects 2 and 3, 6 units; Natural Science, subject 11, 12b, 12d or 12f, 3 units; Elective, 15 units. Total, 45 units.

The candidate for admission must have chosen his preparatory subjects in such a way as to have a total of 12 units of subjects designated as "advanced," including United States History and Government, 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. Subjects which may be offered as advanced subjects are as follows: 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 (excluding sciences given in the first and second years of the high school, and excluding 12c and 12e), 13b, 14, 15a3, 15a*, 15b3, 15b*.

SPECIAL NOTE.-The work for matriculation is so closely related to the work of the Freshman and Sophomore years in the University, that the matriculation electives cannot be intelligently chosen without reference to the requirements for the Junior Certificate. see p. xiii.

GROUP II.

(Before 1908-09, known as Group IV.)

For matriculation in the four-year courses in the Colleges of Mechanics, Mining, Civil Engineering, and Chemistry: Subjects 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12a3, 12b, 16, 17, and any two of the following subjects: 6, 8, 14, 15a2, 15b2, 15c. Total, 43% units.

For the course in Architecture, the student may matriculate either in Letters, Social Sciences, or Natural Sciences.

For the technical course in Agriculture, the applicant may offer

Group I, except that additional work in science or mathematics may, if desired, be offered in lieu of six units of foreign languages.

For the Pre-Medical Course, leading to the degree of A.B. or B.S. at the end of the fourth year and M.D. at the end of the seventh year, the student should matriculate in the College of Letters or of Natural Sciences.

For matriculation in the Medical Department the four years' course leading to M.D.-the student is required to obtain his Junior Certificate either in Letters, Social Sciences, or Natural Sciences, and is required to have had at least a one year's laboratory course of college grade in each of the following subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Zoology; and is required to have a reading knowledge of both German and French.

For admission to the course in Jurisprudence in the Academic colleges, leading to the bachelor's degree (A.B. or B.L.) at the end of the first year and to the degree of Juris Doctor at the end of the third year, Senior standing in the College of Letters or Social Sciences is required.

The matriculation requirements for Hastings College of the Law are as follows: Subjects 1, 2, 3, 4a, 5, 6, 7, 13a. Total, 311⁄2 units.

The question of admitting an applicant with matriculation deficiencies is decided in each case by the Academic Council upon the merits of the case. In general, applicants with less than fortyfive units of matriculation credit (or 43% units for the Colleges of Engineering) will not be admitted.

STUDENTS AT LARGE.

The recommended graduates of accredited secondary schools are admitted to the University to the status of Student at Large on any forty-five units of credit for subjects included in the University's preparatory list. 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.

Students at Large who do not offer all the subjects necessary to make up a complete matriculation group according to present re

quirements for admission will be under the necessity of completing a group after entering the University, provided they wish to become candidates for a degree.

Applicants who have less than forty-five units of matriculation credit will not be admitted as Students at Large.

SPECIAL AND LIMITED STUDENTS.

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 parts of the regular work as they may be found capable of undertaking.

The applicant for admission as a special student is required to pass such formal or informal examinations as the officers in charge of the studies intended may deem requisite to establish his ability and fitness. Applicants for this status must be at least twenty-one years of age. Applicants will not usually be admitted directly from the secondary schools to the status of special student.

Special students intending to take courses in the Department of English will be expected to pass the regular matriculation examinations in Subjects 1 and 14 at the usual time and place. Reasonable substitutions for the particular masterpieces prescribed will be allowed, but these should be arranged in advance. For the conditions under which special students may be admitted to the College of Agriculture, see under College of Agriculture.

In general, admission to the University as a special student can be arranged only by personal conference with the members of the Committee on Special Students and the instructors concerned; such admission usually cannot be arranged by correspondence.

The administration of special students is in the hands of the Committee on Special Students. Each applicant for admission to special status is assigned to a member of the committee, who will act as the applicant's adviser and will supervise his studies in case he is admitted to the University. On Registration Day, at the beginning of every half-year, every special student must submit to his adviser his choice of studies for the half-year ensuing.

A circular containing detailed information concerning the admission of special students may be obtained on application to the Recorder of the Faculties.

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