Credit by examination. Provision will be made for the satisfaction of requirements (b) to (e) inclusive, by examination in lieu of the completion of the usual course requirements. Applicants for such examination must give notice of their intention to the Recorder of the Faculties and secure the authorization of the Executive Committee of the College of Letters and Science by written petition. Such authorization will not be given if the preparation for the examination be based on course instruction received at the University of California.

Honorable mention with the junior certificate. Honorable mention will be granted with the junior certificate to students who attain at least second or B grade in 45 units. A student who gains honorable mention is thereby considered eligible for the honors status in the upper division.

UPPER DIVISION

In and after August, 1921, except as noted above under Lower Division, only those students who have been granted the junior certificate, signifying their completion of lower division requirements, will be registered in the upper division.

The degree of Bachelor of Arts will be granted upon the following conditions:

1. The total number of units in college courses in the lower and upper divisions offered for the degree must be at least 124.

2. To receive the A.B. degree in and after May, 1923, the student must attain at least as many grade points as units in all work undertaken in the University in and after August, 1921.

3. At least 54 units of college work must be completed after the receipt of the junior certificate.

4. At least 36 units of work done in the upper division must be in upper division or graduate courses in the following departments or subjects:

5. Candidates for graduation in May or December, 1922, must take at least 12 of the required upper division units in a single department or subject exclusive of courses in Agriculture, Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, General Literature, Irrigation, Library Practice, Mining, and Metallurgy. The choice of the 12 units must be approved by the department concerned.

6. Candidates for graduation in and after May, 1923, must complete a major of 24 upper division units according to the rules given below.

7. The final or senior year, including at least 24 units, must be taken in resident courses of instruction at this University. This work can most satisfactorily be done during the regular (not summer) sessions. below under study lists regulations.

courses.

MAJORS FOR THE A.B. DEGREE

See

A major consists of a substantial group of coördinated upper division The 24 upper division units required in the major for the A.B. degree may represent courses in one or more departments. If the greater part of the major work is in one department, this is known as the major department. If the major is a curriculum of courses from two or more departments, no one of which represents the greater part of the work involved, the major may be known as a group major, and its adminis tration be in the hands of a committee instead of a department, as, for example, General Literature. If one year of an acceptable professional curriculum is offered by the student as part of his programme for the A.B. degree, this is considered to fulfill the requirement of the major, for example, the first year of the Medical School or the School of Jurisprudence.

Majors may be offered for the A.B. degree in any of the subjects or departments listed above with the designation M (under requirement 4 for the A.B. degree). The general outline of the content of these majors may be found in the respective department announcements in the publication entitled Announcement of Courses. The details of the pro

gramme must be approved by a representative of the department chosen. It is recognized that suitable programmes may be prepared that are not included in any of the published announcements. A student may, therefore, with the advice and approval of a member or members of the faculty, present a plan for a major or group major to the Executive Committee. If this meets the committee's approval, the committee will designate a member of the faculty to take charge of the student's special major and approve his upper division study lists and the final completion of the major.

Special attention is called to the courses listed as preparation for or prerequisite to the major. In most cases it is essential that these courses be completed before upper division major work is undertaken. In any case they are essential requirements for the completion of the major.

Not more than 30 units of upper division courses in one department will be counted towards the A.B. degree.

See further under Regulations for Study-Lists, below.

REGULATIONS FOR STUDY-LISTS

Study-List Limits.-Beginning August, 1921, students in the College of Letters and Science may present study-lists aggregating from 12 to 16 units per semester without special permission as to quantity of work. During the first semester in residence at the University no undergraduate student will be permitted to take more than 16 units of work. After one term of regular residence (i.e., with a study-list of at least 12 units) permission may be granted to take not over 18 units per semester, provided the student has attained an average of at least 2 grade points per unit for the preceding semester. Prescribed courses in military science, physical education, and hygiene, and repeated courses are to be counted in making study-list totals. Even if, because of difficulty in making the desirable courses total the exact limit, a student is permitted to carry a study-list slightly greater than the limits here set, or if a student transfers from another college where a greater study-list total is permitted or required, the credit towards the A.B. degree will be limited strictly according to this rule.

Limited Status.-Students may be accepted as of limited status (below 12 units per semester) only on account of poor health or of regular outside occupation. The study-list must receive the approval of the dean. The privilege of limited status may be withdrawn any time at the discretion of the dean or of the Executive Committee.

Students' Responsibility.—The presentation of a study-list by a student and its acceptance by the college evidences an obligation on the part of the student faithfully to perform the designated work to the best of his

ability. Withdrawal from, or neglect of, any course entered on the studylist, or a change in programme without the formal permission of the dean of the college, renders the student liable to enforced withdrawal from the University, or other appropriate disciplinary action.

Approval of Study-Lists.—All study-lists must be approved by a faculty adviser before they will be accepted at the Recorder's Office.

Special Regulations for Lower Division Study-Lists.-Each lower division student at the time of registration will be assigned to a collegiate adviser and his study-list must be approved by the particular adviser to whom he has been assigned, unless his adviser is changed by authority of the Dean of the College. In addition, all cards totaling more than 16 units. or less than 12 units must be presented at the office of the Dean of the College for approval of the study-list total.

A student in the lower division may each semester designate his intended major. This will make it possible for his adviser to advise him concerning prerequisites for the major. The student may, however, seek such advice from his proposed major department or committee.

Special Regulations for Upper Division Study-Lists.-In and after August, 1921, each upper division student must designate his major or group major on his study-list card, he must register with his major department, or committee in charge of the group major, and his study-list must be approved (as to its relation to his major programme) by a representative of the major department or group major committee before it will be accepted by the Recorder of the Faculties. In addition, all cards totaling more than 16 or less than 12 units must be presented at the office of the Dean of the College for approval of the study-list total.

A change in the major may be made only by permission of the Dean of the College and of the department to which the student petitions to transfer. Notice that such change has been authorized will be sent by the Recorder to the departments concerned.

Students who fail in the lower division to attain an average of one grade point for each unit of work taken in any department may, at the option of the department, be denied the privilege of a major in that department.

Each major department is expected to send to the Dean of the College from time to time lists of students who, in the opinion of the department, cannot profitably continue as major students in the department, together with a statement of the basis for such opinion and of the probable causes for the students' lack of success. In such cases the Executive Committee of the college may, with the approval of the department concerned, permit a change in the major, or may, with the approval of the President of the University, require the students to withdraw from the college.

Students who take all of their upper division work in the University of California must take at least 6 units in their major (at least 3 units each semester) during their last or senior year.

Students who transfer to the University of California from other institutions, with senior standing at the time of their admission, must complete at least 18 units of work in upper division courses, including at least 12 units in their major department or group major in this University.

CANDIDACY FOR HONORS

The attention of juniors and seniors is called to the fact that the only requirement for registration as honors students is the formal approval of the department of their choice. Serious students who have done reasonably well in the lower division are strongly recommended to avail themselves of the advantages which they can derive as honors students from the personal guidance and supervision of the members of the department in which they choose to do their major work. In the College of Letters and Science juniors and seniors who wish to register as honors students use a special form of study-list which may be obtained at the time of registration.

Any student who is approved by his major department as a member of the honors group will, so long as he remains in the honors group, report at the beginning of each half-year to the department of his major work. The department will advise him in the choice of his studies and will specifically approve all courses taken in the department of the student's major.

After the first half of the junior year the Committee on Candidates for Honors will, upon the recommendation of the several departments, decide what students shall remain in the honors group and what students shall be promoted to the honors group. In determining these matters the committee will consider not only the student's work in the department of his major but his entire record.

The several departments have full freedom in determining the most efficacious methods for the training of candidates for honors; but no student will be required to take more than 24 units of upper division work in the department of his major. Departments may offer special honors courses in reading and research, with credit to be determined by the instructors in charge, according to the performance of the individual student, subject to such general restrictions as may be imposed by the department and by the Committee on Courses of Instruction. The work of the student in such an honors course may consist of additional work in connection with regular courses of instruction, or may be independent of such courses.
