the assignment may be divided into two or more lessons. In all cases the
assignment represents an average week’s work, and not an evening’s work
as at school.

PERMANENCE. The department endeavors to make its work thorough
and permanent, and the various courses have been arranged, wherever that
is desirable, in coordination with the regular residence work, the short
courses, and the summer session.

EXAMINATIONS. Examinations are optional with the student, but are
required where credits or certificates are sought. These examinations must
be taken at the University, under supervised conditions approved by the
University.

REGULATIONS. 1. Students may begin correspondence-study courses
at any time during the year.

2. For admission to a correspondence-study course no preliminary
examination is required. The student is required to fill out an application
blank, giving such information as may be helpful to the instructor in adapt-
ing the instruction to his personal needs.

3. Students who undertake correspondence-study work for university
credit must state this fact in advance and comply with all the requirements
of the University.

4. For the benefit of the department it is desired that the applicant
state fully the purpose he has in view in taking the work and also in detail
such educational advantages, training, or experience as he may have had.
The department endeavors to meet the needs of the individual student by
advice and suggestion, as well as by formal instruction, but whenever it
finds that the course elected is not for: the best interest of the student, it
reserves the right to reject the application, or to advise a change to another
course.

5. The time in which a correspondence-study course is to be completed
varies with the length of the course. One year is allowed for a course of
twenty-four assignments or less, fifteen months for a course of from twenty-
five to thirty-two assignments, and eighteen months for a course of from
thirty-three to forty assignments. A reinstatement fee is charged when
courses are not completed within the time limit allowed.

6. All fees are payable in advance, and no fee is refunded because a
student fails to start or pursue the course for which he has once registered.
If an application for instruction is rejected, the fee remitted will be re-
turned.

7. The fee for university credit courses is five dollars per credit for
students who are legal residents of the state of Wisconsin. For students not
legal residents of the state of Wisconsin, the fee is eight dollars per credit.
For courses not involving university credit, corresponding fees prevail. The
expense connected with the instruction of each course is listed in the bulle-
tins where these courses are announced. These fees are deliberately put
upon the lowest operating basis.

LABORATORY WORK
