be used for such certificates, will be furnished on application to the Recorder of the Faculties. It may be filled out by the applicant himself, but should be duly certified by the proper officer of the institution in which the work was done. There should also be submitted some credential showing in detail the basis upon which the applicant was matriculated in the institution from which he comes; if matriculation took place by certificate, the form provided for a statement of preparatory work should be used. These documents should be filed with the Recorder of the Faculties, in order that they may be placed before the Committee on Credentials, for an estimate of their value in terms of the requirements of the University of California. The Committee, acting on behalf of the Faculties, is empowered to reject the certificates, in whole or in part, and to require examination in any or all of the subjects offered.

Applications for supplementary credit on the basis of work done before entering the University should be filed with the Recorder of the Faculties at the time of the application for admission, or as soon thereafter as possible. Applications for such credit will not be received later than eighteen months after entrance. To avoid delay, the applicant may forward an unofficial copy of his statement to the University, for provisional consideration, retaining the original for the purpose of procuring the necessary endorsements. All endorsements must be secured, however, before the applicant will be admitted to the University. If the applicant lives at a distance, notice of committee action will be sent to him.

Credits allowed upon credentials are in all cases provisional; the student has probationary status during his first year of residence, and the credits provisionally allowed him are not placed unconditionally upon his record until such time as he has, by creditable work in the University, and by compliance with such conditions as may be imposed by the proper examiners, established beyond a reasonable doubt his fitness for the credits desired.

7. ADMISSION FROM SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES IN JAPAN AND CHINA. Graduates of approved schools and colleges in China and Japan are allowed to substitute a satisfactory course in the history of their own country for United States History (Subject 5), and also to substitute satisfactory courses in Oriental Law, Language, and Literature for the matriculation requirements in Ancient Languages (Subjects 6, 7, 8, 9) and Advanced English (Subject 14). Such concessions will be granted only to those who furnish properly endorsed official records of their work in China and Japan, and whose work in other departments of study satisfies the requirements for admission.

ADMISSION TO GRADUATE COURSES.

Persons holding the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Letters, Philosophy, or Science, from a reputable institution authorized by law to confer these degrees, or holding any other degree or certificate which the Graduate Council may accept as equivalent, may be admitted as graduate students in the University of California, upon presenting official credentials.

The grade of work to which graduate students are assigned, and their standing as candidates for a degree, will depend upon the extent and character of their undergraduate courses. If in any department the preliminary training of applicants has not been sufficient to qualify them for strictly graduate work, they may be admitted to such undergraduate courses as may be suited to their needs. The status of all graduate students will lapse. at the close of each academic year, unless they have been admitted to candidacy for degrees; but on application it may be renewed at the discretion of the Graduate Council. For the conditions under which the advanced degrees may be obtained, see the Graduate Circular.

TUITION.

Tuition in the colleges at Berkeley for residents of California is free. Non-residents are charged a fee of ten dollars each half-year.

RESIDENCE.

Residence at the University is residence in its vicinity and attendance upon such of its exercises as are appointed for the student. In this sense, residence at Mount Hamilton is residence at the University for such students as have been appointed to work at the Lick Observatory, and residence at La Jolla is residence at the University for such students as have been appointed to work in the Marine Biological Laboratory.

THE JUNIOR CERTIFICATE.

The Junior Certificate marks the division between the Lower Division and the Upper Division of the undergraduate course. With few exceptions, all prescribed subjects not directly related to the student's major or advanced work will have been completed either during the high-school course or in the Lower Division. The work of the Lower Division comprises normally the studies of the Freshman and Sophomore years. The work of the Upper Division must be extended through at least two years; in the colleges of engineering normally three years are required.

All candidates for the bachelor's degree in the Colleges of Letters, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences and Commerce must qualify for the Junior Certificate before proceeding to the work of the Upper Division. The same rule holds for the general course in the College of Agriculture, but not for the technical course in that college.

For the Junior Certificate, 64 units of University work are required, in addition to Subject A and in addition to the 45 units required for matriculation, making a total of 109 units. These 64 units of Lower Division credit may normally be completed in two years, but students are required to remain in the Lower Division only until such time as they are able to complete the requirements for the Junior Certificate. Students in the Lower Division may take as high as 19 units of University work per half-year, in addition to the prescribed courses in Military Science, Physical Culture, and Hygiene.

Students in the technical course, as distinguished from the general course, in the College of Agriculture, and students in Mechanics, Mining, Civil Engineering, and Chemistry may receive the bachelor's degree in the four-year courses by completing the curricula given hereinafter, without working according to the Junior Certificate plan. Students in the five-year courses in Mechanics, Mining, Civil Engineering, and Chemistry may choose their electives so as to obtain the Junior Certificate, or they may, if they prefer, proceed to the degree without the Certificate.

The requirements for the Junior Certificate for students in all colleges, and for students at large, may be summarized as follows:

SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS FOR THE JUNIOR CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING REQUIREMENTS FOR

MATRICULATION.

General Explanation.-In this table the normal amount of work represented both by preparatory or high school subjects, and by the University courses, is specified quantitatively. In the University a unit signifies one hour per week of recitation or lecture, with preparation therefor, during one half-year. A course of study taken in the preparatory school for one year at five periods per week is valued at 3 units.

In addition to the requirements here tabulated, all candidates for the Junior Certificate must pass an examination in Subject A. An examination in this subject will be given sometime after the beginning of each half-year. Every intrant admitted to regular first-year or second-year standing is required to take an examination in Subject A before the close of his first half-year's work; failure to take the examination in Subject A at the time required, or failure to pass, has the same effect upon the student's standing as a failure to pass in an ordinary course.

All students who are candidates for degrees according to the Junior Certificate plan must give evidence, before graduation, that they have a reading knowledge of French or German. This requirement in French or German may be satisfied either by the completion of college or high school courses to the extent of 6 units or by passing an examination set by a University committee. The requirement in Foreign Languages for the Junior Certificate may or may not include this work.

Unless expressly provided for in this table, no part of the prescribed work may be taken during the last two years of residence or after the receipt of the Junior Certificate.

All matriculation deficiencies must be removed before the student leaves the Lower Division.

The number of units which the student must average term by term, in order to complete in two years the work of the Lower Division, is sixteen. Regular students, then, ought not to take much less than sixteen units, and beginners should not attempt more without official advice.

Students who do not take Military Science, Physical Culture, or Hygiene must make up the deficiency in hours in other departments of study.

[The requirements are stated in "units;" see preceding page for explanation.]

1. Matriculation.-The candidate for admission must have chosen his 45 units in such a way as to have a total of 12 units of subjects designated as "advanced," including History and Government of the United States, and including one of the following sciences, if taken, with laboratory work, in the third or fourth year of the high school
