FEES For freshmen and for new students entering with advanced standing in 1913, the tuition of this college is $150.00 per year, payable always in advance. The matriculation fee is $5.00 (payable but once) and the breakage deposit is $10.00. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCEMENT FROM CLASS TO CLASS Students are divided into four classes, according to their proficiency and time spent in studies, viz.: First Year or Freshman, Second Year or Sophomore, Third Year or Junior, Fourth Year or Senior. The standing of the students in their college work is based on thei work in the classroom, laboratories, clinics, and on their attendance, the relative value to be placed on each of these items being left to the individual teachers. A student absent from more than twenty per cent of a course forfeits his right to take an examination in that course, unless the time up to eighty per cent be subsequently made up, when the Educational Committee may give such student permission to take a supplementary examination in such subject. The numerical grades to be given students are based on a passing mark of seventy-five per cent. When a student falls below seventy-five per cent he is conditioned and is required to take a supplementary examination, by arrangement with the proper teacher, within thirty days after the opening of the fall term. Conditioned students will present themselves at the Clerk's office at this time and learn from him or from the bulletin board announcements, the hours of the supplementary examinations. Students who do not present themselves at this time must pay the regular fee for second re-examination. Students who are absent from examinations are marked failed. Members of the faculty do not give to students their numerical grades, but may give verbally to students their grades according to the following classification: Grade A, representing a numerical marking between 90 and 100. Grade B, representing a numerical marking between 80 and 89, inclusive. Grade C, representing a numerical marking between 75 and 79, inclusive. Grade D, representing a numerical marking below 75-conditioned. Students who are conditioned in two or more subjects or who have failed in re-examination shall have their markings reviewed by the Educational Committee, and that committee may call such students before it and shall decide whether re-examinations shall be allowed, or whether the work involved in the conditions shall be repeated in class, in whole or in part, or whether the entire year's work shall be repeated. All students are required to remove conditions within thirty days after the opening of the succeeding session. Under extraordinary circumstances students may be allowed until after the Christmas holidays to remove conditions. If conditions are not removed at that time, such students may be debarred from the midwinter examinations. Any student, after proper request, upon the recommendation of the Educational Committee, may have the privilege of being re-examined in a subject in which he has been conditioned, by a special committee of three to be appointed by the Educational Committee. At the end of the year, or so soon thereafter as the records will allow, the Secretary will notify all students who have fulfilled their financial obligations to the college, of their alphabetical grades, calling the attention of conditioned students to their conditions and that such conditions must be removed before the opening of the succeeding term. Students who have not removed their conditions by the beginning of the succeeding session shall be reported to the Educational Committee, which committee shall recommend such action as may be deemed best.

DISCIPLINE AND GOOD ORDER All students are expected to observe the principals of good conduct and order while attending the college, and plain infractions of the rules will be referred to the Executive Committee of the Faculty, with recommendation of reprimand, suspension, or expulsion. SUGGESTIONS TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS It would be to the advantage of students if they would matriculate a few days in advance of the opening exercises, secure boarding places, and fulfill the entrance requirements, so that the studies may not be interrupted in the beginning. COST OF LIVING The cost of living is no greater in Berkeley and Los Angeles than in other American cities, the expense depending largely on the tastes of the student. Good board, with room rent, may be procured at a very moderate price, at a convenient distance from the college buildings. Circulars of information concerning Los Angeles may be obtained by addressing the Information Bureau of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce or any of the trans-continental railroads.
