When a student's study-card is withdrawn he is thereby suspended from participation in all University exercises.

15. Students in year-courses must register with the Recorder for such courses in January as well as in August.

Students are sometimes permitted to register for year-courses in the second half-year without having been registered in the first half-year. In such cases credit is given for the work of the second half-year only.

The names of students who fail to comply with regulations 14A, 14B, and 15 will not appear on the official class-rolls.

16. No person will be admitted as a student to the exercises of any professor or instructor, except as authorized by the official certificate of registration furnished to each student by the Recorder, subject to the approval of the proper Study-Lists Committee.

17. All undergraduate students shall upon admission to the University, report immediately to the proper officers for enrollment in Military Science, Physical Culture, and Hygiene, following the Circular of Information for Freshmen, or the announcements which may be posted on the University bulletin boards. A deposit (usually of about seventeen dollars) must be paid at once to the Secretary of the University to cover the cost of the uniform to be used in military

courses.

Petitions from students for excuse from, or deferment of, Military 1, Physical Culture, or Hygiene, filed by the petitioner after the expiration of two weeks following the date of the student's registration, will not be received except for illness or physical disability occurring after such date Students who petition to be excused from these subjects or from any of them should nevertheless present themselves to the proper instructors for enrollment during the pendency of petitions.

[A circular which contains important information concerning the requirements in Military Science, Physical Culture, and Hygiene, including a statement of the grounds upon which students may be excused from this work, may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties.]

18. Every student is required to attend all his class exercises and to satisfy the instructor in each of his courses of study, in such way as the instructor may determine, that he is performing the work of the course in a systematic manner.

19. Any instructor, with the approval of the President, may at any time exclude from his course any student who, in his judgment,

has neglected the work of the course. Any student thus excluded shall be recorded as having failed in the course of study from which he is excluded, unless the Faculty shall otherwise determine.

CHOICE OF STUDIES.

25. Regular students who are free from deficiencies in their university work will be registered for not to exceed nineteen units of new work. But in no case will a student in the Upper Division of any of the colleges at Berkeley be registered for more than sixteen units. Regular students with deficiencies will be limited to sixteen units. Freshmen and Sophomores who are taking the prescribed courses in Physical Culture, Hygiene, or Military Science, may add these courses to the maxima as stated herein. Courses taken in the University for the purpose of making up matriculation deficiencies are to be included in the maxima, as above. Work reported by the instructors as "incomplete" is regarded as deficient work.

[The rules governing the choice of studies of regular students are stated in the description of the curricula of the several colleges.]

28. Special students have free election, subject to the requirement that they confine their attention to some special study and its related branches.

29. Limited students have all their studies elective, but may take not more than thirteen units a week.

30. In addition to the foregoing requirements of time to be spent in the class-room, laboratory, and field, undergraduates are required to take the exercises in physical culture; and able-bodied male undergraduates, including special students, are required to take the courses in military science. [Concerning exemption from the courses in military science, physical culture, and hygiene, see Section 17, above.]

In case a student subject to these requirements shall list the prescribed course or courses on his study-card and thereafter without authority shall fail to appear for work in such course or courses, after a reasonable time, the neglect shall be reported to the Recorder, who, with the approval of the President, shall forthwith withdraw the study-card of the student. It shall be the duty of the Recorder to inform immediately the study list committee of the student's college (or the committee on special students in case of a special student) of such withdrawal. With the approval of the Professor in charge of the work, the Recorder is authorized to reinstate the student, and shall notify the study list committee of such reinstatement.

When a student's study-card is withdrawn he is thereby suspended from participation in all University exercises.

31. A regular student or student at large, who is required to repeat any of his studies, may be required or allowed by the Faculty of his college to take a smaller amount of unrepeated work than the minimum laid down in the preceding sections.

32. No student will be permitted to enter upon the study of any subject if the officer of instruction in charge of that subject is satisfied that by reason of lack of preparation he is not competent to undertake it. This rule takes precedence of all others.

33. Any properly qualified student may be transferred from one college to another on petition of the Faculties concerned, formally approved by the Deans, and presented through the Recorder. Provided, however, that nothing in such transfer shall conflict with Regulation No. 53A.

33A. Courses not required by the curriculum for graduation may be dropped from the record of any student on formal petition to the Faculty concerned.

35. A student at large, special student, or limited student, may at any time attain the status of regular student by satisfying all the requirements imposed upon the regular members of the class he desires to enter.

EXAMINATIONS.

38. Final examinations will be assigned for all undergraduate courses, excepting only such seminary, laboratory, and other courses as shall have been exempted by authorization of the Academic Council, and shall have been so listed in the Annual Announcement of Courses. They will, so far as practicable, be conducted in writing, and a maximum time will be assigned beforehand for each, which no candidate will be allowed to exceed. Except in laboratory courses, the time for examination sessions shall not be more than three hours.

38A. No student will be excused from assigned examinations.

46. No book, manuscript, or other source of information, shall be brought into any examination-room, except by the explicit order of the examiner. Nor shall any student, in the course of an examination, have any communication with another student for any reason whatever.

48. Any student tardy at an examination will be debarred from taking it, unless an excuse for such tardiness entirely satisfactory to the examiner be rendered.

48A. A fee of five dollars is charged for every special examination. Any supplementary or deferred test required by an instructor of a student for the purpose of making up a course left "incomplete" is regarded as a special examination. Students taking two or more such examinations in courses taken during any one half-year will be charged not to exceed ten (10) dollars for all such examinations, instead of being charged at the rate of five dollars for each examination.

48B. Application for examination for advanced standing on the basis of work done before entrance to the University should be made to the Recorder of the Faculties upon entrance to the University. For examination for the removal of matriculation deficiencies, see Section 52.

GRADES OF SCHOLARSHIP.

49. The results of examinations, together with term work when a record of the latter is kept, will be ranked and reported to the Recorder in five grades. The 1st grade denotes marked excellence. The 2nd grade indicates that the student's work has been thoroughly satisfactory. The 3rd grade denotes a pass. Courses in which students have obtained a 4th grade will not be credited to them, except upon the condition of passing a reëxamination. The 5th grade indicates failure and the necessity of repeating not only the examinations of a course, but also the regular work, in accordance with Section 55 of these regulations. The report in case of absence from an examination, or of failure to perform any of the allotted tasks in a given course, is incomplete. Work so reported must be made up within a year.

The entrance examinations are ranked and reported to the Recorder in five grades, corresponding with the five grades used for reporting upon University courses. In the case of entrance examinations, either a fourth grade (condition) or a fifth (failure) may be removed by passing a reëxamination.

Reëxaminations are permitted only for the purpose of removing deficiencies. Students who have received second grade or third grade in a given course are not allowed reëxaminations for the purpose of improving their grading.

CONDITIONS AND FAILURES.

50. For the removal of conditions, students shall have the privilege of taking the regular mid-year or annual examinations in the subjects in which they are conditioned. Examinations may be held at other times only by the special permission of the Academic Council and on payment of a fee of five dollars.

52. Opportunity for the removal of matriculation deficiencies is offered at the entrance examinations each year in August and in January.

53A. Any undergraduate who, at the end of any half-year, fails to pass in at least eight units of new work, including physical culture, will be dropped from the roll; provided that any student who for reasons of exceptional urgency is permitted to register for less than eight units of new work. will be required to pass in all of the units so registered, or will be dropped from the roll.

A regular or limited student dropped from the roll on account of deficiencies will have an opportunity to reënter after an interval of one half-year; provided that during the interval he pass such reëxaminations as are necessary to give him credit for at least five units of new work registered during the last half-year of his attendance; and provided, further, as a condition of further University work, he first remove all matriculation deficiencies for the status of a regular student.

The prescribed work in physical culture and hygiene, three units each half-year, may be included in the eight units required to maintain good standing, but not in the five units required for reinstatement in accordance with the requirements of the preceding paragraphs.

[NOTE.-A unit of registration is one hour of a student's time at the University weekly, during one half-year, in lecture or in recitation, together with the time necessary in preparation therefor; or a longer time in laboratory or other exercises not requiring preparation. Credit for 124, or more, units, distributed according to the requirements of the College in which the student is enrolled, is necessary for a degree.]

Any special student who incurs a deficiency may, on recommendation of the Committee on Special Students, be dropped from the roll.

Students disqualified in December in any year under the above regulation shall not be permitted to take reëxaminations in the following January without the approval of the Committee of Deans. Such approval shall not overrule an adverse judgment on the part of the instructor.
