EXTRACTS FROM REGULATIONS.

The following are the regulations governing undergraduate attendance, except such as are given elsewhere in this Announcement:

ATTENDANCE.

Eighty per cent. of attendance will be required in all lecture and laboratory courses as well as in general attendance.

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 Dean, may at any time exclude from his course any student who, in his judgment, has neglected the work of the course. And 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.

No student will be excused from assigned examinations.

No book, manuscript, or other source of information, shall be brought into any examination room, except by the explicit order of the examiner. Nor shall any student, in the course of an examination, have any communication with another student for any reason whatever.

Any student tardy at an examination will be debarred from taking it, unless an excuse for such tardiness entirely satisfactory to the examiner be rendered.

A fee of five dollars is charged for every special examination. Any supplementary or deferred test required by an instructor of a student for the purpose of making up a course left "incomplete" is regarded as a special examination. Students taking two or more such examinations in courses taken during any one-half year will

be charged not to exceed ten (10) dollars for all such examinations, instead of being charged at the rate of five dollars for each examination.

GRADES OF SCHOLARSHIPS.

The results of examinations, together with term work when a record of the latter is kept, will be ranked and reported to the Recorder in five grades. The 1st grade denotes marked excellence. The 2nd grade indicates that the student's work has been thoroughly satisfactory. The 3rd grade denotes a pass. Courses in which students have obtained a 4th grade will not be credited to them, except upon the condition of passing a reëxamination. The 5th grade indicates failure and the necessity of repeating not only the examinations of a course, but also the regular work, in accordance with these regulations. The report in case of absence from an examination, or of failure to perform any of the allotted tasks in a given course, is incomplete. Work so reported must be made up within a year.

Reëxaminations are permitted only for the purpose of removing deficiencies. Students who have received second grade or third grade in a given course are not allowed reëxaminations for the purpose of improving their grading.

CONDITIONS AND FAILURES.

For the removal of conditions, students shall have the privilege of taking the regular mid-year or annual examinations in the subjects in which they are conditioned. Examinations may be held at other times only by the special permission of the Academic Council and on payment of a fee of five dollars.

Opportunity for the removal of matriculation deficiences is offered at the entrance examinations each year in August and in January.

Any undergraduate student who is reported as having failed in an examination, or who, after being conditioned, does not pass the reëxamination for the removal of the condition, will be required to repeat every such deficient subject with the class that next takes it; unless, on recommendation of the officer of instruction in charge, the Faculty shall permit him to review a subject in which he is thus deficient with the assistance of an acceptable private tutor.

By resolution of the Faculty, students of the first-year class who have failed to remove conditions by reëxamination in August, provided such conditions or failures exceed one in number, will not be recommended for promotion.

The Faculty has endorsed the Junior Certificate plan of the University to be applied to the third-year class.

This provides that no student is eligible for Senior standing who has any conditions or failures at the beginning of the term.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

Prolonged leave of absence must be sought by written petition to the Dean, and the petition must specify the length of time (not more than a year) and the reason for which the leave is desired. An indefinite leave of absence will in no case be granted.

A student must apply for leave to be absent or excuse for having been absent from any college exercise other than an examination, to the officer of instruction in charge of such exercise; unless, for unavoidable cause, the student is obliged to absent himself from all college exercises for one day or several days, in which case the Dean will issue a written excuse for leave. Leave to be absent from an examination must be sought by written petition to the proper officer of instruction.

Students who discontinue their work without formal plea of absence do so at the risk of having their registration privileges curtailed or entirely withdrawn.

When any student shall have been continuously absent from his classes for two consecutive weeks, without official leave of absence, the Dean shall notify his parents or guardian that he will be dropped from the roll of the college should not satisfactory explanation of the absence be forthcoming within two weeks.

Students incapacitated by illness or for other good cause (to be determined by the Faculty) may receive credit in lieu of attendance, upon presentation of certificate of physician in charge.

DISCIPLINE.

The University authorities expect all students to set and observe among themselves a proper standard of conduct. It is therefore taken for granted that, when a student enters the University, he has an earnest purpose and studious and gentlemanly habits; and this presumption in his favor continues until, by neglect of duty, or ungentlemanly behavior, he reverses it. But if an offense occurs, whether it be against good behavior or academic duty, the University authorities will take such action as the particular occurrence, judged in the light of the attendant circumstances, may seem to them to require. Students who fail to make proper use of the

opportunities freely given to them by the University must expect to have their privileges curtailed or withdrawn.

Grades of Censure. Censure will be expressed in the four grades of probation, suspension, dismissal and expulsion. Probation indicates that the student is in danger of exclusion from the University. Suspension is exclusion from the University for a definite period. Dismissal is exclusion for an indefinite period, and with the presumption that the student's connection with the University will be ended by it. Expulsion is the highest academic censure, and is final exclusion of the student from the University.

Students Must Obey Laws. All students in this College shall obey the laws regulating the practice of dentistry, or upon failure to do so shall subject themselves to the rules of discipline as above.
