the Hastings College of the Law, and of the College of Dentistry is conducted in San Francisco. The first year of work in the schools of Education and Medicine, the first year of the three-year curriculum in the School of Jurisprudence, the first and second years in the School of Architecture, and the first and second years of the four-year curriculum in Jurisprudence may be credited towards the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the College of Letters and Science. The work so credited is regarded as academic, rather than as purely professional in character, and the student pursuing this work is enrolled not only in the appropriate school or curriculum but also in the College of Letters and Science, and is subject to all the regulations of that college.

In like manner students in the several curricula in Public Health may be simultaneously candidates for the professional degree of Gr.P.H. and also for the degree A.B. (College of Letters and Science), B.S. (College of Civil Engineering), or M.D. (Medical School).

GRADUATE COURSES

In the curricula named above there are provided graduate courses leading to advanced degrees.

STATUS OF STUDENTS

In respect to status, students are classified as graduate and undergraduate, and undergraduates as regular students, students at large, and partial course students, the last being further classified as special students and limited students.

Graduate students are such graduates of the University of California or of other universities, colleges, or like institutions as may be authorized to pursue advanced or special studies under the direction of a faculty. Such students may or may not be candidates for degrees.

Regular students are those undergraduates who have complied with the requirements for matriculation, and who pursue, or are entitled to pursue, the established curriculum of a college.

Students at large are undergraduates devoting to their studies the full time required of regular students but pursuing purely elective courses. Students at large are subject to all regulations imposed on regular students, except the requirements for a degree, unless otherwise provided.

Special students. See page 28.

Limited students are partial course students to whom, for adequate reasons, less work is permitted, or assigned, than is required of regular students.

Students at large, special students, and limited students, by virtue of their status, are not candidates for any degree.

ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY

ADMISSION FROM ACCREDITED SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA

A graduate of a California high school may enter the University of California without examination provided the following requirements be satisfied:

1. The school must have been accredited by the University of California. 2. The applicant must have completed a four-year high school course, aggregating at least 15 standard units of preparatory work (the equivalent of 45 units by the scale heretofore used), and he must be duly certified as a graduate of the school.

3. The candidate must be specially recommended for admission to the University of California.

In recommending graduates for admission to the University the principals of accredited schools should use Recommendation Form A, with application for admission attached. Copies of this form are supplied by the University to the principals of all accredited schools in California.

The accrediting of secondary schools is regulated by an order of the Regents of the University passed March 4, 1884, and amended September 10, 1895, and January 10, 1905. Principals' applications for the accrediting of their schools must be in the hands of the Recorder of the Faculties at Berkeley on or before the first day of December of each school year.

The list of accredited schools is published by the University annually, in the month of June or July. Blank forms of application for accrediting and lists of accredited schools may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties.

Caution. Candidates recommended in accordance with the foregoing provisions are admitted to the University and enrolled in the curricula of their choice. It will be seen, however, that some of these curricula can not be completed in the University in the normal period (four years for the degree A.B. or B.S.) unless the candidate during his high school course has completed such specific prerequisites as may underlie the University work. A list of the curricula, with a statement of the preparatory work required and recommended, is given hereunder.

ADMISSION FROM CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS NOT ACCREDITED

A graduate of a California secondary school not accredited by the University who is strongly recommended by the principal of his school will be admitted upon passing the following examinations:

English (2 units); U. S. History (1 unit); laboratory science (1 unit); and two of the following groups:

(a) Advanced English and History (in addition to U. S. History), any 2 units.

(b) Mathematics (intermediate algebra and trigonometry), 11⁄2 units. (c) Foreign languages, 3 units in one, or 2 units in each of two. (d) Additional advanced science, 2 units.

ADMISSION FROM APPROVED HIGH SCHOOLS IN OTHER STATES

Applicants from secondary schools outside of California are required to meet the same standards as applicants who enter from secondary schools in California. The committee in charge of admissions must have evidence of the following facts: that the school has an approved standing at universities or colleges of acknowledged rank; that the applicant has been graduated from a four-year course of not less than fifteen standard secondary units; that the high school programme shall have included the subjects prescribed by the California State Board of Education (see Preparatory Work Required and Recommended); and that the applicant has maintained an average scholarship standing well above the mark required by the school for promotion or graduation. The candidate may be certified by his principal upon the Principal's Recommendation, Form B. Copies of this form will be sent by the Recorder either to high school principals or to candidates for admission.

Caution. Candidates recommended in accordance with the foregoing provisions are admitted to the University and enrolled in the curricula of their choice. It will be seen, however, that some of these curricula cannot be completed in the University in the normal period (four years for the degree A.B. or B.S.) unless the candidate during his high school course has completed such specific prerequisites as may underlie the University work. A list of the curricula, with a statement of the preparatory work required and recommended, is given hereunder.

ADMISSION BY EXAMINATION

Candidates who are unable to present satisfactory school certificates may be admitted to the University by passing examinations in the preparatory subjects constituting a standard high school course. The subjects to be presented must be arranged in advance with the University. The subjects to be required by the University will depend upon the applicant's high school training, his age, and his proposed course of study in the University. The applicant must pass examinations in at least fifteen standard high school units.

Examinations at the University of California

Matriculation examinations are held in August and in January of each year; but the examinations in January are primarily for the purpose of enabling students in the University to remove matriculation deficiencies. Applicants for admission who present certificates from their teachers that they are prepared in the subjects they offer will be admitted to the January examinations. Such certificates must be filed with the Recorder of the Faculties before the examinations.

No person save a registered student of the University will be allowed to take any matriculation examination without having first filed an application for admission.

A circular concerning the matriculation examinations may be obtained by addressing the Recorder of the Faculties.

List of Preparatory Subjects

A list of preparatory subjects, with the amount of matriculation credit assigned to each, is given below. This list is not exhaustive, but it represents most of the fields of instruction in the secondary schools of California. With exceptions noted below, the University holds entrance examinations in these subjects:

Certificates of successful examinations before the College Entrance Examination Board will be accepted in lieu of matriculation examinations conducted by the University of California.

The examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board are usually held during the third week in June.

All applications for examination must be addressed to the College Entrance Examination Board, 431 West 117th street, New York, N. Y., and must be made upon a blank form to be obtained from the Secretary of the Board upon request.

No examination.
