In general, credit will be given at the rate of one unit for fifteen exercises. A course of five recitations or lectures weekly during six weeks may receive a credit of two units. Credit may be given, in due proportion, for a smaller number of exercises, when these are of more than the usual length (which for lectures and recitations is about fifty minutes). A recitation or lecture presupposes about two hours of study outside of the classroom; laboratory or other exercises which do not require outside preparation are estimated at a lower rate than recitations or lectures. If in a given course a final examination is required by the instructor, there can be no individual exemption from this examination. A student who fails to pass the examination does not receive credit for the course. It should furthermore be noticed that special examinations and reexaminations in the summer courses are not provided. The maximum amount of credit obtainable during the Summer Session by a student who devotes his whole time to courses strictly of university grade is from four to six units, according to the character of the work selected. A similar amount of credit is obtainable during the Intersession. A bachelor's degree represents 124 or more units of credit, distributed according to the special requirements of the college or department in which the student is enrolled. For the master's degree there are required twenty units, including a thesis, which may count from two to four units. The courses must be graduate courses or upper division courses. At least eight of the twenty units, including the thesis, must be strictly graduate work in the major subject. The work for the Ph.D. and other doctor's degrees is not estimated in units of credit, and must be specially planned for every candidate. There are normally required four years of university residence for a bachelor's degree, one year for a master's degree, and at least two years for a doctor's degree; and while advanced credit is given for work done at other universities the candidate's final year of residence for any degree must ordinarily be spent in the University of California. Two Summer Sessions or one Summer Session and one Intersession are accepted as the equivalent of one half-year of residence for any degree; but the amount of credit (the number of units) that may be completed during two Summer Sessions or one Summer Session and one Intersession will not exceed three-fourths of the amount that could be completed during a single fall or spring session. In every case students desiring credit for upper division or graduate courses should make definite arrangements therefor with the instructor at the beginning of the session. The specific courses which will be recognized as upper division or graduate courses toward a higher degree are announced in later pages of this bulletin. Students electing work in the Summer Session or Intersession as part of a programme for a higher degree should consult the Announcement of the Graduate Division for information regarding facilities and departmental requirements. Except by special arrangement work for the Ph.D. can ordinarily be pursued only during regular sesisons. Graduate students should consult, also, the Dean of the Graduate Division at his office in 209 California Hall, second floor. Prospective applicants for the Recommendation for the High School Teacher's Certificate or for higher degrees are urged to submit to the Dean of the Graduate Division official transcripts of records of their college work, preferably by mail in advance of the opening of the Summer Session, so that they may be advised in regard to their graduate standing and to the program of study which they desire to elect. The University issues formal Recommendations for the High School Teachers' Certificates only to those who hold a bachelor's degree and who have completed the professional and academic requirements in accordance with the regulations of the State Board of Education and of the School of Education. For further information the student should consult the Director of the School of Education. Certificates of record for Summer Session or Intersession work, whether of matriculation or of university grade, will be issued by the Recorder of the Faculties upon application of any student in the session; and personal recommendations from instructors may be obtained by school officers and other inquirers through the office of the Appointment Secretary. There will be no general period of final examinations. The matter of examinations for credit will be left in the hands of the instructors, who may use the regular recitation hours for that purpose or may hold examinations at other times, to be arranged with their classes. No examination is to be held except at a time which will make it possible for all the members of the class to attend without conflict with other University appointments; special examinations to suit the convenience of individuals are not permitted. Students who apply for credit in any course will be expected not only to complete all the work and examinations of the course but also to continue in regular attendance upon the class exercises until the close of the session; and students will be required to hand in all their work by that time, in order that the instructor may make his report in due season. Students are not authorized to continue any part of the work beyond the close of the session. No provision is made for reëxamination or supplementary work for the removal of deficiencies. Accommodations and Expenses There are no dormitories on the campus, but there are many boarding houses and private homes in Berkeley where in previous years students have obtained board and room at prices ranging from $35 to $50 per month. There are also several restaurants in Berkeley where meals may be had à la carte. A list of places offering board and room or either alone will be ready for distribution at the opening of the session at the bureau of information in California Hall. Every possible assistance will be given to strangers in their search for suitable boarding places. The following table will enable the student to form an estimate of the expenses, exclusive of railway fare, to be met in attending the six weeks of Summer Session: The Associated Students' Store carries all textbooks for Summer Session courses, as well as stationery and other supplies. Railroad Rates for the Summer Session At the time this bulletin goes to press no official announcement by the railroads with reference to reduced rates is yet possible. It is generally anticipated, however, that excursion rates under the certificate plan will be offered. Prospective students of the Intersession or Summer Session are urged to secure definite information at railroad offices with reference to summer rates from their respective cities. Library Throughout the Summer Session and the Intersession the University Library will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday to Saturday inclusive, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Full library privileges, including the home use of books, as accorded to regular University students, will be extended, without additional fee, to those students in the summer courses who register at the Library. Infirmary The University has a well equipped infirmary on the campus, with a full complement of physicians and trained nurses. Every student is entitled to ordinary medical and hospital care at the Infirmary without charge, it being distinctly understood that the illness to be treated arises after registration. If an operation becomes necessary, a moderate charge is made, the funds received from such operations being used for the benefit of the Infirmary. Summer Session Californian The Summer Session Californian is issued twice each week throughout the Summer Session. In addition to Summer Sessions news, it contains announcements of lectures, concerts, exhibits, meetings of University organizations, and information concerning the library, museums, art galleries, observatories, and other parts of the University of interest to visitors. It will be mailed to any address for the six weeks of the Summer Session for 25 cents, payable with other fees at the office of the Comptroller in California Hall. Special Lectures During the session of 1920 there were numerous special lectures given both by members of the faculty and by distinguished visitors. Plans for a similar series are under way for this year's session. Greek Theatre The Director of the Greek Theatre announces that there will be presented during the Summer Session the following plays: Fanny's First Play (Shaw), The Importance of Being Earnest (Wilde), Pygmalion (Shaw), Beyond the Horizon (O'Neill), Belinda (Milne). These will be performed on five consecutive Friday evenings, commencing June 24, by the Greek Theatre Players, who have enjoyed a very successful spring season in Wheeler Auditorium. Season tickets, entitling the holder to a reserved seat, will be $2.25, without war tax. Reservations may be made in advance by addressing the Director of the Greek Theatre, University of California. In addition to these indoor productions, there will be a presentation in the Greek Theatre of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," "" "Twelfth Night," and possibly "Richard II." On Saturday evening, July 23, under the direction of Paul Steindorff, a grand opera will be produced in the Greek Theatre. Chamber Music The faculty of the Department of Music will offer for the entertainment and instruction of the students in the Summer Session a series of concerts of admirable chamber music. Y. M. C. A. The University Young Men's Christian Association, now occupying the entire Association building, Stiles Hall, is both a social and recreational center for the men of the University. With new equipment and enlarged accommodations, the Y. M. C. A. is better prepared than ever to serve the interests of the Summer Session students. Reading rooms, a social hall, and recreation rooms are provided where students can profitably spend their leisure hours. An Employment Bureau is conducted free of charge, exclusively for the benefit of incoming students. The Association Secretary, whose offices are located at Stiles Hall, will be glad to be of any service to students who wish aid and to help them in getting settled. Y. W. C. A. The building of the Young Women's Christian Association, situated on the corner of Allston way and Union streets, a block west of Sather Gate, will be open during the Summer Session for the use of all students. Reading and rest rooms, a sunny patio, a foyer for students from other countries, an information bureau, and a splendid lunch and tea room are provided for the use of all students. Appointments may be made with secretaries trained to advise with regard to club work for girls in schools and industry or other lines of social work in connection with the Y. W. C. A. here and over seas. A bulletin giving the schedule of classes, social affairs, meetings and lectures, office hours of secretaries, etc., will be ready for distribution on registration day. Assemblies As a part of the official social life of the Summer Session there will be an informal reception with dancing in Harmon Gymnasium each Friday evening. These assemblies will be under the supervision of Mrs. Davidson, Assistant Dean of Women. All Summer Session students will be admitted to these gatherings on presentation of their registration cards. Excursions The department of physical education will arrange excursions for each Saturday during the session; full announcements of these will be made later. An excursion to Mount Hamilton and the Lick Observatory will be arranged for the classes in astronomy and others who may be interested. The student in Berkeley has within easy reach the libraries, museums, parks, concerts, lectures, and theatres of San Francisco and Oakland. During the summer, when the Eastern season is over, many of the greater dramatic events of the year are to be seen in both San Francisco and Oakland. Attendants at the Summer Session will find it easy to plan outings in the country about Berkeley, or across the bay in Marin County; boating on Lake Merritt, or on the bay; a trip to Muir Woods, a national park of redwoods; tramps in the Berkeley or Piedmont hills, to Lake Chabot, |
