I. An applicant who proposes to take all his examinations in one year may divide them between June and September, at his own discretion. The June examinations may be made to comprise any of the subjects of the requirements for admission, and any subject passed will be put to the credit of the applicant. The September examinations should comprise all required subjects in which the examinations were not taken or not passed in June.

II. An applicant for admission to a Regular Course or to a Course at Large may, if he prefers, divide the Entrance Examination between two years, passing part of it, on the conditions stated below, as a Preliminary Examination one year before his proposed admission, and the remainder as a Final Examination the next year. Applicants will not be admitted to a Preliminary Examination without certificates from their teachers that they are prepared in the subjects they offer.

CERTIFICATES OF PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION, crediting the holder, one year in advance of his proposed entrance to the University, with examinations in a portion of the requirements for admission, will only be issued for subjects passed without conditions; nor will any certificate be issued to an applicant who does not pass in at least five of the subjects taken. These subjects must be confined to Subjects 1, 2, 3a, 4a, 5, 6, 8, 10 (a or b), 11 and 13 of the General List.

When entrance examinations are divided between two years, the Preliminary Examination may not be subdivided between June and September of the year in which it is taken; nor, in case the applicant is granted the CERTIFICATE described above, may the Final Examination in completion of the requirements for admission be subdivided between June and September of the year in which it is taken. But conditions received at a Final Examination taken in June may be made up at the examination in September of the same year.

ADMISSION FROM ACCREDITED SCHOOLS.

Admission from Accredited Schools is regulated by the following Order of the Board of Regents:

"Upon the request of the Principal of any public or private school in California whose course of study embraces, in kind and extent, the subjects required for admission to any College of the University at Berkeley, a committee of the Academic Senate will visit such school, and report upon the quality of the instruction there given. If the report of such committee be favorable, a graduate of the school, upon the personal recommendation of the Principal, accompanied by his certificate that the graduate has satisfactorily completed the studies of the course preparatory to the College he wishes to enter, may, at the discretion of the Faculty of such College, be admitted without examination.

"All applications made in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing paragraph, must be in the hands of the RECORDER OF THE FACULTIES at Berkeley, on or before the twenty-first of March of each year.”

Tuition in the College of Letters and the Colleges of Science is free. Each student, on entering any of the colleges at Berkeley, is required to deposit ten dollars with the Secretary. This deposit, if the student graduates, will constitute the payment for his diploma. If he leaves the University without graduating, the money, less any unpaid fines or charges, will be returned to him on presentation of the Secretary's receipt for it.

From each student who desires to draw books from the Library an additional deposit of five dollars is required; this sum, less any unpaid fines or charges, will be returned to him on presentation of the Secretary's receipt therefor. In the laboratories a small charge is made for materials actually used. Every member of the battalion is required to procure a uniform on entrance. Board and lodging may be obtained in private families in Berkeley and Oakland at from eighteen dollars to thirty dollars a month. The hours of recita

tion are such that many students reside in Oakland and San Francisco. The journey from San Francisco to the University requires from an hour to an hour and a quarter.

Students in the College of Agriculture can occasionally find work in connection with the instruction in agriculture and horticulture. Several students find occasional employment in the University printing office at a fair compensation.

EXAMINATIONS.

Examinations are held at the close of each half-year. For students taking a complete Regular Course, these examinations, in their aggregate for the four years, constitute the examination for degrees.
