HONOR STUDENTS IN THE UPPER DIVISION

The University publishes annually a list of honor students in the upper division. The list forms a part of the Catalogue of Officers and Students issued in October. In the colleges of Letters and Science, Agriculture, Chemistry, and Commerce the list is prepared in accordance with the regulations of these colleges as given in earlier pages of this circular.

In the Colleges of Mechanics, Mining, and Civil Engineering, the list includes the names of undergraduates in junior and senior standing who have maintained an average scholarship record of at least grade B.

HONORS WITH THE BACHELOR'S DEGREE

Concerning honors with the bachelor's degree in the College of Letters and Science, in the College of Chemistry, in the College of Commerce, and in the College of Agriculture, see the sections explanatory of the work of these respective colleges in earlier pages of this circular.

In the colleges of engineering students may receive honors with the bachelor's degree on the basis of the quality of the work done in the regular curriculum of the senior year, or of a thesis showing ability to do original work, or of distinction in the advanced work of any department, as attested by the recommendation of that department. In the colleges of engineering students whose work has been of marked excellence may receive highest honors with the bachelor's degree.

The University Medal is awarded to the graduate of each year who is adjudged to have gained the highest distinction in scholarship.

DEGREES

Every student who intends to become a candidate for a bachelor's degree must file with the Recorder of the Faculties, upon a date to be fixed by the Recorder, a detailed schedule of studies offered for the degree sought. This schedule must be approved by the dean of the college in which the student is enrolled. For filing notice later than the appointed date a fee of two dollars is charged.

Of the 124 (or more) units required for the bachelor's degree at least 24 units must have been completed at this University in resident courses of instruction taken during the final or senior year.

All candidates for the bachelor's degree are required to have been enrolled during the senior or final year of residence in that college of the University in which the degree is to be taken. This regulation applies both to students entering this University from another institution and to students transferring from one college to another of this University, with the exception, however, that transfers from one of the three colleges of engineering (College of Civil Engineering, College of Mechanics, and College of Mining) to another of those three colleges, is not affected by the regulation.

No course in which a final report relating to a student shall have been received by the Recorder, will be removed from the student's record.

All the graduates of any one calendar year-January 1 to December 31-are ranked as belonging to the so-called class of that year.

LIBRARY

The privilege of drawing books or periodicals from the University Library does not include the right to transfer such privilege. The lending of library books or periodicals by an authorized borrower to any person not authorized to draw books from the Library, or the signing of call-slips by an authorized borrower for the use of any other person, except by special permission, is prohibited.

Any borrower intending to leave the vicinity for more than four days is required either to return before leaving all books and periodicals charged to him, or to make such arrangements with the Librarian as will insure their prompt return if needed.

No book or periodical may be transferred from one authorized borrower to another without notice to the Librarian from the original borrower.

THE GRADUATE DIVISION

For information regarding all matters pertaining to the Graduate Division, including the requirements for the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Science, Doctor of Public Health, Graduate in Architecture, Juris Doctor, Doctor of Education, Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Civil Engineer, Metallurgical Engineer, Mining Engineer, and Doctor of Philosophy see the Announcement of the Graduate Division, to be obtained upon application to the Dean of the Graduate Division.

GENERAL INFORMATION

DEANS

The dean of a school, college, or other division of the University is entrusted with the duty of assisting the President in the administration of the University, with special reference to the welfare of the particular school, college, or other division concerned.

For a list of the deans in the departments of the University at Berkeley and elsewhere, see under Administrative Officers in earlier pages of this circular.

LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS

The cost of board and lodging (1) in boarding houses in or near Berkeley is $40 to $75 a month; (2) in fraternities and students' clubs from $45 to $60 a month. (3) For students living in housekeeping rooms and "boarding themselves" the expenses may be reduced to as low as $30 to $40 a month, but this plan of living is not generally recommended. (4) The hours of recitation are such that students may commute from their homes in Oakland and San Francisco. (5) Families or groups of mature students who wish to rent furnished houses or apartments should apply to the local real estate agents. Rents near the campus for housing eight or more persons range from $125 up, unfurnished. A two-room furnished apartment with bath and kitchenette, janitor service, heat and house laundry rents from $50 up.

There are no dormitories maintained by the University. Accommodations in private boarding houses near the University are limited. Students are advised to make arrangements for their living quarters well before the opening of the semester. Lists of boarding places approved by the University authorities are published at the opening of every session, one list for men and another for women. No freshman woman is permitted to complete her registration unless her boarding place is first approved by the Dean of Women.

Lists of approved boarding places and further advice concerning living accommodations may be obtained at the office of the Dean of Women, 205 California Hall, and at the office of the Dean of the Undergraduate Division, 207 California Hall.

EMPLOYMENT

Opportunities for Self-Support.-Students desiring employment should apply for information at the Bureau of Occupations, 301 Henry Morse Stephens Hall. The Bureau acts only as an agent for the purpose of bringing together employers and students desiring work. It does not undertake to make arrangements with respect to remuneration.

Only in rare instances can a student be entirely self-supporting. With reasonable diligence a student can devote from twelve to twenty-five hours per week to outside work without seriously interfering with college work of from 12 to 16 units (involving thirty-six to forty-eight hours per week).

Board and lodging can usually be obtained in exchange for three or four hours of household work daily. Opportunities also exist for obtaining employment on an hourly basis in the following fields: typewriting and stenography, clerical work, tutoring, telephone service, housework, care of children, general manual labor, etc. A student qualified to do draughting, computing and other technical work can occasionally find employment on a more remunerative basis than in the fields mentioned above.

It should always be borne in mind, however, by students seeking employment that not every kind nor every amount of outside work is entirely compatible with the student's main purpose at the University, namely, his education.

The Young Men's Christian Association acts as a bureau of information concerning boarding places and opportunities for remunerative employment for men.

Applicants for employment in teaching or tutoring should apply at the office of the Appointment Secretary, 105 Haviland Hall.

These agencies, however, can do little for students who are not actually on the ground to negotiate for themselves. It is usually so difficult for a stranger to secure remunerative employment from the start that, in general, no one should come to Berkeley expecting to become self-supporting through the university course without having on hand at the beginning sufficient funds to cover the expenses of the first half-year.

EXPENSES OF STUDENTS

For cost of board and lodging see above.

Tuition in the academic colleges and tuition at the Lick Observatory is free to residents of the State. Non-residents of California are charged a tuition fee of $75 each half-year, but this fee may be remitted, in whole or in part, in the case of students in full graduate standing in other than professional schools and colleges. Aliens who have not made valid declaration of intention to become citizens of the United States are classified as non-residents of California.

Tuition in the Medical School for residents is $200 per year, for non-residents $500; in the College of Dentistry, for undergraduate residents $150 per year, graduates $300 per year, for undergraduate non-residents $170 per year, graduates $320 per year, payable in two installments.

An incidental fee of $25 per half-year is payable by every student, graduate or undergraduate, at the time of registration, unless the student registers for less than five units of work in resident courses of instruction, in which case the incidental fee is $12.50 per half-year. This fee covers expenses of students other than the cost of their instruction and entitles them to the use of the gymnasium, tennis courts, handball courts, swimming pool, baths, towels, soap, lockers, washrooms, etc.; consultation, medical advice, hospital care or dispensary treatment in case of illness; makes possible the provision of books for use as texts in many courses; and meets in part the heavy expenses in connection with registration and graduation. This fee is not remitted in whole or in part for those who may not desire to make use of any or all of these privileges.

In the School of Jurisprudence an incidental fee of $50 per half-year is payable at the time of registration by every student registering in more than one professional course in law. This fee includes the incidental fee of $25 payable by all students, together with a special incidental and law library fee of $25.

Laboratory Fees.-In the laboratories a charge is made for materials actually used. This charge, for students in the elementary laboratories, amounts to from $5 to $30 per annum.

The military uniform and textbook deposit for the basic courses at Berkeley is $15 (at the Branch of the College of Agriculture, Davis, $20) and is payable at the time of registration by every student subject to military training. This training is prescribed for all first- and secondyear undergraduate male students who are citizens of the United States,
