38 THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN

Entrance examinations are given three times a year, in September,
February, and June, as specified in the calendar; no special examinations
are given. Those who are likely to be required to pass entrance examina-
tions in order to gain admission will do well to correspond with the Regis-
trar as soon as possible, so that they may be informed early of their defi-
ciencies and thus have ample time to prepare themselves for examination.
There is likely to be less severe disappointment if candidates take the
examinations in February or June since, if rejected, they still have oppor-
tunity to seek admission to some other institution.

Graduates of accredited schools whose academic subjects average less
than 77 with 70 as the passing grade of the school, or less than 81 with 75
as passing, are urged not to apply for admission to the University because
their chances for success in college are slight. If they are admitted it will
be only on probation.

ADVANCED CREDIT

Advanced credit for high-school work may be granted to students with
satisfactory average standing who present more than fifteen units accept-
able for admission, provided: (a) the subjects in which advanced stand-
ing is sought are the general subjects accepted for admission to the Uni-
versity; (b) the work is as advanced as work given in the freshman year;
(c) the course for which credit is desired be approved by the chairman of
the department; and (d) the student passes a satisfactory examination at
least two hours in length, held at the University before or during the
Christmas recess. No advanced credit will be given for work in language
unless it be in excess of six units of language offered for admission, nor
will advanced credit be given for less than three semester hours.

ADMISSION WITH ADVANCED STANDING

Applicants for admission who have had any work whatsoever in
another institution of higher learning, regardless of whether or not they
wish to receive credit for it, must submit complete credentials of both their
high-school and “college” work, as defined above, to the proper authorities
of the specific college which they desire to enter, and not to the University
Registrar. For the College of Letters and Science and its subordinate
schools, as well as the Law and Medical Schools, records should go to the
Chairman of the Advanced Standing Committee; for the College of Engi-
neering, to the Dean; for the College of Agriculture, to the Assistant
Dean. All such transcripts should be sent at least six weeks preceding the
opening of the session the student desires to enter.

Not more than one-fourth of the number of credits required for a
four-year course will be given for a single year’s work in another institu-
tion. This maximum will be given only when the student makes an aver-
age of C or better during his first or second semester at Wisconsin. At
least the senior year’s work (30 credits and 30 grade-points) must be
earned in residence at Wisconsin, and students can therefore expect at best
not more than three years of advanced standing on transfer.

WISCONSIN TEACHERS’ COLLEGES

Graduates of the two-year departmental courses in the state teachers’
colleges who have actually completed two years’ work thereat, who were
previously graduated from four-year high-school courses, and who are en-
