such examinations shall have been completed, such reports 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 Art or Science of this University who are planning regular courses leading to a degree in the College of Dentistry may receive a master's degree (M.A. or M.S.) under the following conditions: (a) The candidate must have finished creditably two years in the curriculum of the professional college.

(b) He must have received credit, in addition to his work for the professional degree, for eight semester units of graduate work, including a thesis, and such graduate work must be approved by the Graduate Council.

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 rendered.

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 SCHOLARSHIP

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 first grade denotes marked excellence. The second grade indicates that the student's work has been thoroughly satisfactory. The third grade denotes a pass. Courses in which students have obtained a fourth grade will not be credited to them, except upon the condition of passing a re-examination. The fifth 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. At the request of the Surgeon General U. S. Army the reports will be issued on a percentage basis. 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 Senate and on payment of a fee of five dollars.

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.

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.

Students who discontinue their work without formal leave of absence do so at the risk of having their registration privileges curtailed or entirely withdrawn.

When any student shall have been continuously absent from his classes for two consecutive weeks, without official leave of absence, the Dean shall notify his parents or guardian that he will be dropped from the roll of the college should not satisfactory explanation of the absence be forthcoming within two weeks.

Students incapacitated by illness or for other good cause (to be determined by the faculty) may receive credit in lieu of attendance, upon presentation of certificate of physician in charge.

DISCIPLINE

The University authorities expect all students to set and observe among themselves a proper standard of conduct. It is therefore taken for granted that, when a student enters the University, he has an earnest purpose and studious and gentlemanly habits; and this presumption in his favor continues until, by neglect of duty or ungentlemanly behavior, he reverses it. But if an offense occurs, whether it be against good behavior or academic duty, the University authorities will take such action as the particular occurrence, judged in the light of the attendant circumstances, may seem to them to require. Students who fail to make proper use of the opportunities freely given to them by the University must expect to have their privileges curtailed or withdrawn.

Grades of Censure.-Censure will be expressed in the four grades of probation, suspension, dismissal, and expulsion. Probation indicates that the student is in danger of exclusion from the University. Suspension is exclusion from the University for a definite period. Dismissal is exclusion for an indefinite period, and with the presumption that the student's connection with the University will be ended by it. Expulsion is the highest academic censure, and is final exclusion of the student from the University.

Students Must Obey Laws.-All students in this college shall obey the laws regulating the practice of dentistry, or upon failure to do so shall subject themselves to the rules of discipline as above.
