JOINT REGULATIONS OF THE FACULTIES CONCERNING

GRADUATE STUDENTS.

I.

ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STANDING.

1. 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 course. 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.

2. 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.

II.

CANDIDACY AND RESIDENCE.

3. Graduate Students may be Resident Graduates not candidates for a degree; or they may become candidates for either a Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctor's degree, or for a professional degree in Engineering. All Graduate Students will be considered as Resident Graduates not candidates for a degree, unless admitted to candidacy by the Graduate Council after formal application.

4. No Graduate Student will be recommended for any of the degrees named above except upon the completion of at least one year of residence at this University, devoted to such a course of study as the Graduate Council regards as a proper year's work; upon passing successfully an examination; and upon complying with such other regulations as are stated below. At least one half-year must elapse between formal advancement to candidacy for a degree and the conferring of the degree.

5. Candidates for degrees may, at the discretion of the Graduate Council, be given credit for residence in other Universities, provided at least one year is passed in residence at this University.

6. Every Graduate Student not a candidate for a degree, must be in actual attendance on at least one regularly authorized course of

instruction. Every candidate for a Bachelor's or a Master's degree, while in residence, must be in actual attendance on at least one regularly authorized course of instruction; and this attendance must amount to at least four hours a week; otherwise such students will be considered to have withdrawn from candidacy. The number of hours necessary to make up a year of study is stated below.

7. The minimum requirement is one year's study for the Master's degree, and three years' study for the Doctor's degree; but this is understood to apply to students only whose undergraduate course has been substantially equivalent to the corresponding course in the University of California; otherwise a longer period of study will usually be necessary. This may include, to the extent considered desirable by the Graduate Council, when the student's preliminary training falls materially short of this standard, subjects which have as their purpose the general culture of the. candidate, in addition to such courses of instruction or research as may be elected for the prosecution of the special and advanced studies leading directly to the degree.

8. No candidate will be credited with a year of work in residence until the full period of an academic year has been devoted to the studies approved by the Graduate Council as constituting a year's work for the degree sought; and, in case of candidacy for a Bachelor's or Master's degree, the standard by which a year's work is estimated is that represented by, or equivalent to, a course of nine hours per week during one year, confined to the special advanced studies leading to the degree. The satisfaction of the time-requirement supplies only partial evidence of proper quality in the candidate's performance. Greater weight will be attached to actual attainments than to years of residence.

9. Every Graduate Student who is a candidate for a higher degree must file with the Recorder, at least three calendar months before the time proposed for examination a detailed schedule of studies on which the candidacy is based. This schedule must bear the approval of the Sub-Committee in charge of the candidate's work.

III.

CONDITIONS FOR A BACHELOR'S DEGREE FOR A GRADUATE STUDENT.

10. Graduate Students may be recommended as candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Letters, or Bachelor of Science on completing at least nine hours attendance for one year upon such courses of instruction as are regularly pursued by Seniors in the University of California, and on performing such additional work and passing such examinations as may appear necessary to the Graduate

Council. In all cases candidates must satisfy the graduation requirement of thirty units of group elective work in the colleges of General Culture, or its equivalent in the colleges of Applied Science; not all of which, however, need have been done while in residence at this University. No person will be recommended for a Bachelor's degree who shall not have satisfied substantially, at the time of procedure to the degree, the conditions imposed upon undergraduate students of the University of California.

IV.

CONDITIONS FOR MASTER'S DEGREES.

11. No student may become a candidate for a higher degree in any subject in which at least all of the work prerequisite to the Group Elective in that subject has not been previously completed, as well as such other prerequisites as may appear neccessary to the Graduate Council.

12. A candidate for the degree of Master of Arts, Master of Letters, or Master of Science, must have obtained either the corresponding Bachelor's degree from the Colleges of General Culture, Chemistry, or Agriculture of this University, or must have pursued successfully a course of study equivalent to that represented by such a degree. The application for admission to candidacy must be made through the Recorder to the Graduate Council, and must contain a general statement of the studies upon which candidacy is based. Upon approval of this application and admission to candidacy a Committee of the Graduate Council will supervise the work of the candidate, conduct the examinations, and pass upon the dissertation when presented.

The

13. A candidate for a Master's degree may present one subject only, or one principal subject and one subordinate subject. principal subject presented for the degree of Master of Arts or Master of Letters must be selected from group I, II, or III of the subjects named below for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, or from group IV, when the candidate has received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from this University, or the equivalent thereof from some other University: for the degree of Master of Science, from group IV; and only those courses may be presented which are designated "primarily for graduates." The subordinate subject may be selected from any one of the groups from which a principal subject may be chosen, and only those courses may be offered which are classed as "primarily for graduates," or "for graduates or advanced undergraduates." The decision between presenting purely graduate courses, or advanced undergraduate courses, will lie with the Sub-Committee in charge of the candidate. The course of study must cover a period of not less
