EXPENSES. TUITION. The Statutes of Colorado provide as follows: "The said School of Mines shall be open and free for instruction to all bona fide residents of this State, without regard to sex or color, and, with the consent of the Board, students from other states and territories may receive education thereat upon such terms and at such rates of tuition as the Board may prescribe." The tuition for non-residents is one hundred fifty dollars per year, payable in two instalments-seventy-five dollars at the beginning of each semester. FEES AND DEPOSITS. Deposits are required to cover the cost of supplies consumed, and any unused balance is returned. Fees are charged to cover not only the cost of materials furnished, but also the wear on apparatus and supplies. No part of a fee is returnable. Matriculation Fee (Paid once only).

The cost of text-books and students' supplies necessarily varies, but the following is a fair estimate: Students' clubs furnish Rooms can be obtained The college has no dormitory. Board can be obtained in private families at from four to six dollars per week. board at about sixteen dollars per month. at from six dollars to twelve dollars per month. OTHER EXPENSES. There are other expenses incidental to the mining, metallurgical, and geological trips, which vary so widely that they cannot be estimated. The preparation of the Senior thesis also involves expenses which vary with the nature and treatment of the subjects. For laboratory work in special cases a deposit of fifteen dollars is required. Students leaving in mid-term, except on account of severe protracted sickness, are not entitled to the return of fees or tuition. All charges of the college are payable strictly in advance at the beginning of each semester. No student is allowed to be graduated while indebted to the school. The Trustees reserve the right to make incidental changes in fees and deposits without printed notice, as new and unforeseen emergencies may arise. Students who desire to earn money to defray their college expenses are advised to limit their work to the summer vacation. The course of study is too exacting to allow much time during the college year for outside work. The total expenses of the college year, exclusive of tuition, need not exceed four hundred dollars, and may, by strict economy, be considerably reduced. GENERAL INFORMATION. DEGREES. The college offers two four-year courses-Mining Engineering and Metallurgical Engineering-leading to the degrees of E. M. (Mining Engineer) and E. Met. (Metallurgical Engineer). Also two two-year postgraduate courses leading to the degrees of E. M. and E. Met. THESIS AND GRADUATION. A thesis upon some suitable subject is a prerequisite to the completion of either course. Each senior must submit to the Faculty, not later than November 1st, the subject of his thesis, which must be approved by the Professor concerned. Each thesis must be typewritten or printed on eight and one-half by eleven-inch paper, bound in book form, and submitted not later than May 1st. No diploma will be delivered until the thesis is handed in, the full requirements of the course of study are satisfied, and all accounts with the college are settled. METHODS OF GRADING. The following system of grading is used: A-Excellent. B-Good C-Fair. D-Conditioned. E-Failed. A, B and C are passing grades. D (Conditioned) means that the student is not passed. The deficiency may be removed by passing an examination or otherwise completing the work. Unless a condition is removed before the beginning of the school year following the year in which the condition is given, it becomes an E, and the subject must be taken again. This rule may be waived in a merited case by special Faculty action. E (Failed) means that the subject must be repeated and no advanced subject which depends on this one can be taken until the E is removed. A student who, at the close of any semester, has conditions, that is, D's or E's, or both, amounting to a total of twelve hours work a |
