EXPENSES OF STUDENTS Tuition in Academic Colleges at Berkeley and Los Angeles is free to residents of the state. Non-residents of California are charged a tuition fee of $75 each half-year. An incidental fee of $12.50 per half-year is payable by every student before his study card is filed. This fee covers expenses of students other than the cost of their instruction and entitles them to the use of the gymnasium, tennis courts, lockers, baths, soap, towels, washrooms, etc.; consultation, medical advice, or dispensary treatment in case of illness; and meets in part the expenses in connection with registration and graduation. This fee is not remitted in whole or in part for those who may not desire to make use of any or all of these privileges. Physical Examinations.—Students are required to report for physical examinations at the beginning of each year. Students who fail to meet their appointments with the medical examiner are subject to a fee of $1 for a second appointment. Vaccination. All students must satisfy the medical examiner concerning vaccination before entering. Laboratory and Departmental Fees. In the laboratories a charge is made for materials actually used. This charge, for students in the elementary laboratories, amounts to from $5 to $30 per annum. The military uniform deposit is $27, and the military text book deposit is $3; both deposits are payable by every student subject to military training before his study card is filed. Military training is prescribed for all first and second year undergraduate male students who are citizens of the United States, able-bodied and under twenty-four years of age at admission to the University. The United States furnishes uniforms and some text books for the use of students receiving military training. The University being responsible for uniforms and text books furnished by the United States requires the student to deposit with the Comptroller an amount necessary to cover the cost of the articles issued him. The deposit is refunded at the close of the academic year, or upon the student's withdrawal from the University, provided the student then returns in good condition all articles issued him. The amount necessary to replace articles not returned by the student will be retained by the Comptroller. The text books are loaned the student through the University Library. Other expenses are: Gymnasium outfit for men, about $5; for women, about $8; books and stationery, from $18 to $25 per annum. All students are eligible to membership in the Associated Students of the Southern Branch of the University of California. The cost of a membership card is about $5 per year. The card entitles the holder to participation in the affairs of the Associated Students; a free subscription to the Cub Californian; free admission to all athletic contests held on the campus under the jurisdiction of the Associated Students of the Southern Branch with the exception of final intercollegiate contests. The ordinary yearly expenses of a student in the academic departments, including personal expenses, would probably be at least $665. THE LIBRARY AT LOS ANGELES The Library is located in a separate building with a capacity of 50,000 volumes. The reading rooms will accommodate about 400 students. The Library is open daily, save Sundays. From Monday to Friday, inclusive, the hours are from 7:45 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Library contains about 35,000 volumes and 8000 pamphlets. About 5000 books are added annually. The library subscribes for many of the leading periodicals, professional and general. In addition there are about 6500 bound volumes of the literary and educational magazines. A Library Handbook, containing rules and regulations and general information regarding the library, has been issued for general distribution. THE APPOINTMENT SECRETARY Upon the request of school officials the Appointment Secretary recommends teachers who, in the opinion of the faculty, are able to fill satisfactorily the positions for which teachers are being sought. To do this intelligently it is necessary that the Appointment Secretary have detailed information concerning the vacancies to be filled. The Secretary makes every endeavor to assist graduates to secure positions of the kind for which they are best fitted. Students are urged to make occasional calls at the office of the Appointment Secretary throughout their entire course. There is no expense to the school officials or to students for the service rendered by this office. SUMMER SESSION The Summer Session of six weeks is designed for teachers and other persons who are unable to attend the University during the fall and spring sessions. There are at present no formal entrance requirements, except that applicants must be persons of good moral character and must be considered by the faculty to be of sufficient maturity and intelligence to profit by attendance upon the exercises of the session. The courses of instruction are mainly of university grade, and credit toward university degrees may be given to attendants who comply with such conditions of work and examinations as may be imposed by the instructors in charge. The tuition fee is $20, regardless of the number of courses taken. The Announcement of the Summer Session is issued in April of each year and may be obtained by addressing the Dean of the Summer Sessions, Berkeley, California. In addition to the session at the University in Berkeley, the Summer Session in Los Angeles has been established and will be conducted at the Southern Branch of the University. |
