GENERAL REGULATIONS OF THE FACULTIES CONCERNING STUDENTS IN THE ACADEMIC COLLEGES

Following are certain general regulations governing residence and study in the academic colleges. These regulations, unless otherwise stated, concern both graduate and undergraduate students.

ADMISSION AND CLASSIFICATION

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.

Persons admitted to the University, who, in the judgment of the Com mittee on Credentials, have satisfactorily completed one year's work of collegiate grade, shall be regarded as students in the second year of the

course.

Persons admitted to the University, who, in the judgment of the Committee on Credentials, have satisfactorily completed two years' work of collegiate grade, shall be regarded as students in the third year of the

course.

Students who are classed as juniors shall be regarded as students in the third year of the course. Students who have received the junior certificate are in the upper division, which includes the third and fourth years of the course.

Regular undergraduate students and students at large retain their privileges as students so long as they maintain good standing in the University. The university membership of all special students and limited students, on the other hand, terminates at the close of each academic year, but may be renewed from time to time at the discretion of the proper faculty.

Any student may be transferred from one of the colleges of Letters, Sciences, and Engineering to another college in this group of colleges upon consent of the proper study-lists officer of the college to which admission is sought. A form of petition for such transfer is supplied

by the Recorder.

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.

ROUTINE OF REGISTRATION

No student of the University may undertake any work or examination with a view to credit for a university degree without registration for such work or examination with the Recorder of the Faculties; such registration must be accepted by the proper faculty before the work proposed is undertaken. Students of good standing with a limited amount of regular class work may be permitted, on the basis of private study outside of university classes, to take certain matriculation or university examinations for the purpose of gaining advanced standing, but in all such cases the authorization of the proper faculty must be secured by written petition before preparation for such examination is begun.

All students shall register with the Recorder of the Faculties their choice of courses to be pursued in any half-year, on blanks provided for the purpose, at such time and place as may be designated for such registration. Registration at a later date can be effected only through special application to the Dean of the college in which the student is enrolled. A fee of two dollars is charged for late registration.

Students in year courses must register with the Recorder for such courses in January as well as in August.

Students are sometimes permitted to register for year courses in the second half-year without having been registered in the first half-year. In such cases credit is given for the work of the second half-year only.

The names of students who fail to comply with the regulations governing registration will not appear on the official class rolls.

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 and duplicate study-card furnished to each student by the Recorder, subject to the approval of the proper Study-Lists Committee.

Simultaneous registration in an undergraduate academic college and in a professional college is not permitted.

After the study-cards are filed, students will be given an opportunity to make changes, by formal petition, duly approved by the instructors concerned. But after the expiration of the period assigned for such changes, all additions must be distinctly approved and recommended by the instructors; and for every course added to or dropped from the study card a fee of one dollar will be charged.

Every regular student shall include in his study-card all required work appropriate to the college and year of his course. [The rules governing the choice of studies of regular students are stated in the

description of the curricula of the several colleges.] The Committee on Study-Lists of his college is authorized to withdraw such study-cards as do not comply with this regulation.

When a student's study-card is withdrawn he is thereby suspended from participation in all university exercises.

UNITS OF WORK AND CREDIT; STUDY-LIST LIMITS

Both matriculation and university work are measured in "units". In the University a unit of registration is one hour of a student's time at the University weekly, during one half-year, in lecture or recitation, together with the time necessary in preparation therefor; or a longer time in laboratory or other exercises not requiring preparation. Credit for 124, or more, units distributed according to the requirements of the college in which the student is enrolled is necessary for a degree.

Regular students who are free from deficiencies in their university work will be registered for not to exceed nineteen units of new work. But in no case will a student in the upper division of any of the colleges in which the junior certificate is a requirement be registered for more than sixteen units. Regular students with deficiencies will be limited to sixteen units. Freshmen and sophomores who are taking the prescribed courses in physical education, hygiene, or military science may add these courses to the maxima as stated herein. Courses taken in the University for the purpose of making up matriculation deficiencies are to be included in the maxima, as above. Work reported by the instructors as "incomplete" is regarded as deficient work.

Special students have free election, subject to the requirement that they confine their attention to some special study and its related branches. Limited students have all their studies elective, but may take not more than thirteen units a week.

MILITARY SCIENCE, PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HYGIENE

All undergraduate students shall, upon admission to the University, report immediately to the proper officers for enrollment in military science, physical education, and hygiene, following the Freshman Circular or the announcements which may be posted on the university bulletin boards. A deposit (usually of about twenty dollars) must be paid at once to the Comptroller of the University to cover the cost of the uniform to be used in military courses. Students shall list these courses upon their study-cards, with other university courses.

Petitions from students for excuse from, or deferment of, military science, physical education, or hygiene, filed by the petitioner after the expiration of two weeks following the date of the student's registration,

will not be received except for illness or physical disability occurring after such date. Students who petition to be excused from these subjects or from any of them should nevertheless present themselves to the proper instructors for enrollment during the pendency of petitions.

In case a student subject to these requirements shall list the prescribed course or courses on his study-card and thereafter without authority shall fail to appear for work in such course or courses, after a reasonable time, the neglect shall be reported to the Recorder, who, with the approval of the President, shall forthwith withdraw the study-card of the student. When a student's study-card is withdrawn he is thereby suspended from participation in all university exercises. It shall be the duty of the Recorder to inform immediately the Study-Lists Committee of the student's college (or the Committee on Special Students in case of a special student) of such withdrawal. With the approval of the professor in charge of the work, the Recorder is authorized to reinstate the student, and shall notify the Study-Lists Committee of such reinstatement.

[A circular which contains important information concerning the requirements in military science, physical education, and hygiene, including a statement of the grounds upon which students may be excused from this work, may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties.]

AUTHORITY OF INSTRUCTORS

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.

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.

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.

EXAMINATIONS

Final 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 shall have been so listed in the annual Announcement of Courses. They will, so
