ADMISSION WITH ADVANCED STANDING ADMISSION FROM OTHER COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES Applicants may be given advanced standing in the University of California on the basis of certificates from other colleges and universities, upon the approval of the certificates by the proper committee. A form of statement of university work, which may be used for such certificates, will be furnished on application to the Recorder of the Faculties. It may be filled out by the applicant himself, but should be duly certified by the proper officer of the institution in which the work was done. There should also be submitted some credential showing in detail the basis upon which the applicant was matriculated in the institution from which he comes and the preparatory subjects for which matriculation credit was given. These documents should be filed with the Recorder of the Faculties, in order that they may be placed before the Board of Admissions, for an estimate of their value in terms of the requirements of the University of California. The board, acting on behalf of the faculties, is empowered to reject the certificates, in whole or in part, and to require examination in any or all of the subjects offered. Credit for Subject A (English Expression) is not given upon certificate. An examination at the University is required in all cases. ADMISSION FROM NORMAL. SCHOOLS OR STATE TEACHERS COLLEGES A student in a state teachers college or normal school, who plans to enter the University of California, should arrange his programme with special reference to the degree requirements of the college in which he expects to take his bachelor's degree. In the College of Letters and Science and in the College of Commerce, the junior certificate requirements consist largely of courses specifically prescribed in the fields of foreign languages, laboratory science, etc., and allow only a limited number of electives. The premedical curriculum and the curricula of the colleges of engineering and agriculture include a number of prescribed courses in subjects which ordinarily are. not represented in a state teachers college. The University regulations, however, provide that a student admitted to the University from a normal school or a state teachers college who is also a graduate (with university recommendation) of an accredited high school, may be allowed junior standing for two years' work and senior standing for three years' work, whenever it appears that the work which has been done is substantially the equivalent of the work required by the University of California in the college or curriculum selected. The foregoing allowance of credit is conditioned upon the presentation by the applicant of satisfactory recommendations both from the high school and from the normal school or state teachers college. Graduates of California State normal schools or of other normal schools of equal rank who become candidates for the certificate of completion of the teacher-training curriculum may be exempted from the additional half-year of residence required beyond the bachelor's degree. Credentials from high schools and normal schools of states other than California are evaluated in accordance with this general plan. The applicant must in every such case submit the detailed record of his high school and later studies in order that the Board of Admissions may be satisfied that the applicant has met the California requirements both as to selection of his studies and as to scholarship standing. Blank forms for statement of the applicant's studies may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties on request. ADMISSION FROM SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES Graduates of approved schools and colleges in China, Japan, India, and other foreign countries may be admitted only if their command of English is sufficient to permit them to profit by university instruction. This will be tested by an oral and written examination set by the Board of Admissions. SURPLUS MATRICULATION CREDIT There is no longer provision for advanced standing in the University on the basis of surplus high school credit. ADMISSION OF SPECIAL STUDENTS Special students are students of mature years who have not had the opportunity to complete a satisfactory high school course but who, by reason of special attainments, may be prepared to undertake certain courses, though not as candidates for degrees. No person less than twenty-one years of age will be admitted to the status of special student, but it is specifically emphasized that mere attainment of any given age does not constitute adequate qualification for admission to this status. Applicants will not be admitted directly from the secondary schools to the status of special student. The graduates of accredited high schools are not admitted as special students, but are expected to qualify for regular undergraduate standing in accordance with the usual rules. Such students may, with the approval of the proper study-list officer, pursue strictly elective or limited programmes, if they do not desire to become candidates for degrees. The University has no "special courses'; all courses are organized for regular students-that is, students who have had the equivalent of a good high school education and have been fully matriculated. Special students are admitted to those regular courses for which, in the judgment of the instructors, they have satisfactory preparation. Entrance examinations in the subjects of fundamental importance for the work proposed will be assigned in practically all cases. Special students will seldom be able to undertake the work of the engineering and professional schools until they have had all or nearly all of the prerequisite subjects. All applicants for admission to special status will be required to take a psychological test, which will be given at the time scheduled for matriculation examinations. A circular giving the dates of these examinations may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties. Instruction is not offered in such essential preparatory subjects as elementary English, elementary algebra, plane geometry, United States history, elementary Latin, and Caesar, and, save in the summer sessions, geometrical drawing, algebraic theory, elementary chemistry, and elementary physics. Before applying for admission, then, the applicant should see that he is prepared in these whenever they are prerequisite to work he may wish to do in the University. Upon petition, special students, not candidates for any University degree, may be excused from the exercises in physical education and hygiene; such students, however, in case they become candidates for degrees, must meet these requirements in full. Students over twenty-four years of age at the time of admission are excused from military science. The administration of special students is in the hands of the Board of Admissions. Prospective applicants should communicate with this Board through the Recorder of the Faculties, who will furnish forms for application for admission and for transcripts of high school record. Applications should be made at least six months in advance in order to allow time to prepare for the entrance examinations assigned for admission. In general, admission to the University can be completed only by personal conference with the University Examiner, and when necessary with the departments, schools, or colleges concerned. |
