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-five 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 degrees, 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.

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 Mt. 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 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 entrance, 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.

13A. For matriculation subjects which are continued in the University, credit may be obtained by recommendation from the heads of the departments concerned, based upon creditable college work. [See 857.]

REGISTRATION AND ATTENDANCE.

14. All students except Intrants shall register their choice of courses each half-year on blanks provided for the purpose, on the first Thursday of the first half-year, and on the first Monday of the second half-year, at the Recorder's Office, or at such place as may be designated for the purpose. Registration at a later date can be effected only through special, application to the Dean of the College in which the student is enrolled.

15. All Intrants must register with the Recorder of the Faculties their study-lists for the first half-year on or before the second Monday of that half-year.

The names of students who fail to comply with Regulations 14 and 15 will not appear on the official class-rolls.

16. No person will be admitted as a student to the exercises of any professor or instructor, except as authorized by the official Certificate of Registration furnished to each student by the Recorder, subject to the approval of the proper Study-Lists Committee.

17. All students shall, upon admission to the University, report immediately to the officers of the Department of Physical Culture for physical examination and measurements and for assignment to work in the Department.

18. Every student is required to attend all his class exercises and to satisfy the instructor in each of his courses of study, in such way as the instructor may determine, that he is performing the work of the course in a systematic manner.

19. Any instructor, with the approval of the President, 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.

CHOICE OF STUDIES.

[The rules governing the choice of studies of regular students are stated in the description of the curricula of the several colleges.]

28. Special Students have free election, subject to the requirement that they confine their attention to some special study and its related branches.

29., Limited Students have all their studies elective, but may take not more than thirteen units a week.

30. In addition to the foregoing requirements of time to be spent in the class-room, laboratory, and field, undergraduates are required to take the exercises in physical culture; and able-bodied male undergraduates are required to take the courses in military science. [See 245.]

31. A Regular Student or Student at Large, who is required to repeat any of his studies, may be required or allowed by the Faculty of his College to take a smaller amount of unrepeated work than the minimum laid down in the preceding sections.

32. No student will be permitted to enter upon the study of any subject if the officer of instruction in charge of that subject is satisfied that by reason of lack of preparation he is not competent to undertake it. This rule takes precedence of all others.

CHANGE OF STATUS, COURSE, OR STUDies.

33. Any student who desires to be transferred from one college to another, or to change either his status or any study once undertaken, or to drop any study, must obtain consent to do so from the Faculties and the particular professors or instructors concerned. Such consent must be sought of the proper Faculty or Faculties by petition, accompanied by the approval of the professors or instructors directly concerned, and presented through the Recorder of the Faculties.

34. No such transference or change will be granted to a student whose standing is unsatisfactory, except it be shown, to the satisfaction of the Faculty or Faculties concerned, that the proposed transference or change effects an improved adjustment of his course of study.

35. A Student at Large, Special Student, or Limited Student, may at any time attain the status of Regular Student by satisfying all the requirements imposed upon the regular members of the class he desires to enter.

36. No Regular Student who, by reason of delinquency in scholarship or neglect of duty, fails to maintain the Regular Status, will be allowed to become a Special Student, or a Student at Large.

EXAMINATIONS.

38. Final examinations-and also, in the case of year-courses, midyear examinations-will be assigned for all undergraduate courses, excepting only such seminary, laboratory, and other courses as shall have been exempted by authorization of the Academic Council, and Ishall have been so listed in the Annual Announcement of Courses. They will, so far as practicable, be conducted in writing, and a maximum time will be assigned beforehand for each, which no candidate
