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 reëxaminations in summer courses are not provided. The maximum amount of credit obtainable during the session by a student who devotes his entire time to the work is six units. A bachelor's degree represents 124 or more units of credit, distributed according to the special requirements of the college 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 undergraduate 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 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 though 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 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 will not exceed three-fourths of the amount that could be completed by an undergraduate student during a single fall or spring 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 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 sessions. Graduate students should consult, also, the Dean of the Graduate Division. 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' Certificate 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 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 at Berkeley. 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 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 reëxaminations or supplementary work for the removal of deficiencies. Graduate Division A representative of the Dean of the Graduate Division of the University will hold office hours at Millspaugh Hall, Southern Branch, during the opening days of the Summer Session, beginning Saturday, June 18, from 9 a.m. to 12 m. for conference with advanced students desiring information with reference to graduate study. Professor A. O. Leuschner, Dean of the Graduate Division, will hold office hours during the second week of the Summer Session on dates to be announced. A representative of the Director of the School of Education will hold office hours at Millspaugh Hall, Southern Branch, during the opening days of the Summer Session, from 9 a.m. to 12 m., for conference with candidates for the Recommendation for the High School Teacher's Certificate. After the second week of the Summer Session inquiries regarding graduate study should be directed to Dean B. M. Woods and those pertaining specifically to the Recommendation for the High School Teacher's Certificate to Professor R. J. Leonard. Accommodations and Expenses There are many boarding houses and private homes in Los Angeles where students can obtain room and two meals at prices ranging from $35 to $50 per month. There is a cafeteria at the Southern Branch. A list of places offering board and room or either alone will be ready for distribution at the office of the Summer Session in Los Angeles, 831 Pacific Finance Building, Sixth and Olive streets, Los Angeles, by May 25. Copies will be mailed on request. 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: University tuition fee Laboratory fees (according to courses taken) Board and room, six weeks Textbooks and stationery. Laundry Total $20-$20 00- 12.50 5- 15 5- 12 $80-149.50 The Associated Students' Store carries all text books 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 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 the Library will be open daily from 7:45 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday inclusive, and from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Full library privileges, including the home use of books, as accorded to regular University students, will be extended to those students in the summer courses who register at the library, without additional fee. The Public Library, in the Metropolitan Building, at Fifth street and Broadway, is open every week day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Summer Session students may obtain readers' cards by filing with their application blanks cards signed by the University registrar stating that they are students in the University.
