3. 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, except in Subject A, 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 matriculation Physics, Subject 11; Latin, Subjects 6 and 7; and Greek, Subject 8. For matriculation in some of the Colleges of the University, certain modern languages may be substituted for Greek or Latin, as explained in the Admission Groups given on pages 52 and 53. 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.

By recent action of the Academic Council, 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.

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 to the University as regular students, with the privilege of satisfying matriculation requirements by examination or by work in the University. An entrance examination in Subject A is required.

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 matriculation examination, unless said school 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 in favor of a recommended graduate thereof, provided said school has been examined and accredited by some college or University at which the matriculation requirements are equivalent to those of the University of California. A form of statement of preparatory work, which may be used for such certificates, will be furnished on application to the Recorder of the Faculties. The statement should be complete and detailed, showing all studies pursued, time devoted to each in weeks and hours per week, text-books used, and scholarship marks attained; should be certified by the school authorities; and, finally, should be indorsed by the college or university at which the school stands accredited. The statement should be filed with the Recorder of the Faculties, in order that it may be placed before the Committee on Credentials, for an estimate of its value in terms of the requirements of the University of California. The Committee, acting on behalf of the Faculties, is empowered to reject the statement, in whole or in part, and to require the usual examination in any or all of the subjects required for admission.

To avoid delay, the applicant may forward an unofficial copy of this statement to the University, for provisional consideration, retaining the original for the purpose of procuring the necessary endorsements. If the applicant lives at a distance, notice of committee action will be sent to him.

Credits allowed upon credentials are in all cases provisional; the student has probationary status during his first year of residence, and the credits provisionally allowed him are not placed unconditionally upon his record until such time as he has, by creditable work in the University, and by compliance with such conditions as may be imposed by the proper examiners, established beyond a reasonable doubt his fitness for the credits desired.

Students who bring credentials for preparatory work from schools accredited to other universities, in excess of the requirements for admission to the freshman class, must pass an examination at the University on the subjects covered by such credits before these may be counted as cancelling any portion of the one hundred and twenty-four or more units required for graduation.

But any department is at liberty to accept such credits, without examination, as covering a part of the required number of units

of work in that department. In this case, however, the student must add to his free elective list a number of units equal to that thus subtracted from his prescribed work.

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.

Applications for supplementary credit on the basis of work done before entering the University should be filed with the Recorder of the Faculties at the time of the application for admission, or as soon thereafter as possible. Applications for such credit will not be received later than eighteen months after entrance. To avoid delay, the applicant may forward an unofficial copy of his statement to the University, for provisional consideration, retaining the original for the purpose of procuring the necessary endorsements. If the applicant lives at a distance, notice of committee action will be sent to him.

Credits allowed upon credentials are in all cases provisional; the student has probationary status during his first year of residence, and the credits provisionally allowed him are not placed unconditionally upon his record until such time as he has, by creditable work in the University, and by compliance with such conditions as may be imposed by the proper examiners, established beyond a reasonable doubt his fitness for the credits desired.

Students who bring credentials for preparatory work from other universities in excess of the requirements for admission to the

freshman class, must pass an examination at the University on the subjects covered by such credits before these may be counted as cancelling any portion of the one hundred and twenty-four or more units required for graduation.

But any department is at liberty to accept such credits, without examination, as covering a part of the required number of units of work in that department. In this case, however, the student must add to his free elective list a number of units equal to that thus subtracted from his prescribed work.

B. 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 Graduate Council may accept as equivalent, may be admitted as graduate students in the University of California, upon presenting official 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 Graduate Department.

TUITION.

Tuition in the colleges at Berkeley for residents of California is free. Non-residents are charged a fee of ten dollars each half-year.

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.

EXTRACTS FROM JOINT REGULATIONS OF THE FACULTIES

Following are the principal regulations governing undergraduate residence and study, except such as are given, elsewhere in this REGISTER, in the statement of the curricula of the several colleges. For the regulations concerning graduate study, see under Graduate Department.

ADMISSION.

10A. The status of all undergraduate students shall be probationary during their first year of residence. At the close of the probationary period, the question of the status of each student shall be reviewed by the Committee on Study-Lists of the college in which the student is enrolled, and his status shall then be determined by the Faculty, acting upon the recommendation of said Committee.

12. Graduate Students, Regular Undergraduate Students, and Students at Large, are, by virtue of their status, fully matriculated, and their privileges as matriculates continue so long as they maintain good standing in the University. Special Students and Limited Students, on the other hand, are unmatriculated, and such privileges as are granted them terminate at the close of each academic year, but may be renewed from time to time at the discretion of the proper Faculty.

13. Applicants for the status of Regular Student or Student at Large, whose preparation, as tested by examination or certificate, falls only slightly short of the full requirement for matriculation, may nevertheless, at the discretion of the Academic Council, be recommended for admission and matriculation. But all deficiencies, of whatever sort, must be made good by subsequent work or examination.
