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. 4. 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 provisionally to the University in the academic departments, with the privilege of satisfying matriculation requirements by examination or by work in the University. 5. ADMISSION FROM SECONDARY SCHOOLS OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA Certificates from a high school, or academy, or preparatory department of a college in the State of California are not accepted in lieu of entrance examination, unless the school in question has been duly examined and accredited by the University, in accordance with the order of the Regents of the University governing accrediting. Certificates from a high school or other secondary school in another state or country may be accepted, provided the school has been accredited by some college or university of good standing, by the New England College Entrance Certificate Board, or by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Certificates are accepted only for the graduates of approved four-year secondary schools. Evidence of thoroughly satisfactory scholarship is required, and, as a rule, credit without examination is given only for subjects in which the candidate has attained a percentage of from eight to ten points higher than the passing or promotion standard of the school. The Committee on Credentials, acting on behalf of the Faculties, is empowered to reject credentials, in whole or in part, and to require the matriculation examinations in any or all subjects. To avoid delay an applicant may forward an unofficial copy of his record to the University, for provisional consideration, retaining the original for the purpose of procuring the official signatures. Notification of action taken by the Committee is in every case sent by mail to the applicant. Importance of Early Application.-Official credentials should always be sent to the University in ample time for action and notification before the entrance examinations; these are held in January and in August of each year (in 1918-19, September and January). For details, consult the Registration Circular, which may be obtained from the Recorder. Applicants whose papers are received too late for full consideration before the examinations may be seriously inconvenienced in beginning their work and, in addition, will be subject to a fee for late registration. 6. ADMISSION TO ADVANCED STANDING IN UNDERGRADUATE COURSES Applicants may be given advanced standing in the University of California on the basis of certificates from other colleges and universities, upon the approval of the certificates by the proper committee. A form of statement of university work, which may be used for such certificates, will be furnished on application to the Recorder of, the Faculties. It may be filled out by the applicant himself, but should be duly certified by the proper officer of the institution in which the work was done. There should also be submitted some credential showing in detail the basis upon which the applicant was matriculated in the institution from which he comes; if matriculation took place by certificate, the form provided for a statement of preparatory work should be used. These documents should be filed with the Recorder of the Faculties, in order that they may be placed before the Committee on Credentials, for an estimate of their value in terms of the requirements of the University of California. The Committee, acting on behalf of the faculties, is empowered to reject the certificates, in whole or in part, and to require examination in any or all of the subjects offered. Credit for subject A (English expression) and for subject B (ability to read a foreign language) is not given upon certificate. Examinations at the University are required for credit in these subjects. 7. ADMISSION FROM SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES IN THE ORIENT Graduates of approved schools and colleges in China, Japan, India and other Oriental countries may be admitted only if their command of English is sufficient to permit them to profit by university instruction. This will be tested by an oral and written examination set by the Committee on Credentials. A brief circular concerning the rules of the Committee in the matter of assignment of credit in languages to foreign students may be obtained from the Recorder of the faculties. ADMISSION TO GRADUATE COURSES Persons holding the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Letters, Philosophy, or Science from a reputable institution authorized by law to confer these degrees, or holding any other degree or certificate which the Academic Senate may accept as equivalent, may be admitted as graduate students in the University of California upon presenting proper credentials. The grade of work to which graduate students are assigned and their standing as candidates for a degree will depend upon the extent and character of their undergraduate courses. If in any department the preliminary training of applicants has not been sufficient to qualify them for strictly graduate work, they may be admitted to such undergraduate courses as may be suited to their needs. The status of all graduate students will lapse at the close of each academic year, unless they have been admitted to candidacy for degrees; but on application it may be renewed at the discretion of the Graduate Council. For the conditions under which the advanced degrees may be obtained, see the latest Announcement of the Graduate Division, to be obtained on application to the Recorder of the Faculties. RESIDENCE Residence at the University is residence in its vicinity and attendance upon such of its exercises as are appointed for the student. In this sense, residence at Mount Hamilton is residence at the University for such students as have been appointed to work at the Lick Observatory, residence at La Jolla is residence at the University for such students as have been appointed to work in the Marine Biological Laboratory, and residence at Davis is residence for such students as have been appointed to work at the University Farm. In the graduate school, residence at any place, or in any field, which may be designated by the proper faculty as suitable for the work of a candidate for one of the advanced degrees, is regarded as residence at the University. COLLEGE OF LETTERS AND SCIENCE LOWER DIVISION The work of the lower division comprises the studies of the freshman and sophomore years. The junior certificate marks the transition from the lower division to the upper division of the undergraduate course. All candidates for the bachelor's degree in the College of Letters and Science must qualify for the junior certificate before proceeding to the upper division. Concerning upper division requirements, see Upper Division, in later pages of this circular. Amount of credit required.-For the junior certificate, 64 units of university work are required, in addition to subjects A and B, and in addition to the 45 units required for matriculation, making a total of 109 units. A surplus matriculation credit does not reduce the amount of work (normally 64) required in the lower division, except under conditions specified in the section pertaining to surplus matriculation credit as given on page 25. 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 they are able to complete the requirements for the junior certificate. Students in the lower division may, with the approval of the study-lists committee, take as high as 19 units of university work per half-year, in addition to the prescribed courses in military science, physical education, and hygiene. But 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. Honorable mention with the junior certificate; candidacy for honors. Honorable mention with the junior certificate is awarded to students who have attained at least second grade in forty-eight (48) units of their freshman and sophomore courses. The list of students who receive honorable mention with the junior certificate is published, and this list is sent to members of the faculty of Letters and Science, and to prospective students of the junior class. A student whose name appears upon this list, unless he prefer not to enter for honors, should at the beginning of his junior year report immediately to the department of his major work. The department will advise him in the choice of his studies and will specifically approve all courses taken in the department. Concerning procedure in candidacy for honors, see Upper Division, in later pages of this circular. Subject A,* oral and written expression in English, is a requirement for junior standing in all colleges and courses at Berkeley, including the colleges of engineering and chemistry. It applies to students who graduate by the junior certificate plan as well as to those who graduate without the junior certificate. The requirement is additional to the " courses'' or units," in English and other subjects, tabulated below, and can be satisfied only by passing an examination. This examination is given each half-year shortly after the opening of the session. Every undergraduate intrant is required to take an examination in subject A during his first half-year. 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. In and after August, 1919,* subject A will be prescribed as an entrance examination for the colleges at Berkeley, with the following provisions: (1) Students who pass subject A with grade 1 or 2 are not required, but are advised, to continue their training in oral and written composition. (2) Students who pass subject A with grade 3 are required to take English 1A during their freshman or sophomore year, and junior standing will not be granted them until they have passed the course. (3) Students who receive grade 4 or 5 in subject A are conditioned in the subject, and they will not be granted the junior certificate until they have passed the examination. They will be required to take, without credit, a course in English composition, especially designed to meet their needs, and calling for one period of class instruction per week, together with written exercises and conferences, until they have passed in subject A. Those who pass with grade 3 will not be granted the Junior Certificate until they have fulfilled the requirements under 2, above. No student who has not passed subject A will be admitted to any uni * A statement concerning amended requirements in English composition, effective October, 1918, may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties. |
