method, a student may enroll in any course or courses, which, in the esti-
mation of the instructor in charge, he is able to carry to advantage. Upon
satisfactory completion of such work, application may be made to the Regis-
trar for a transcript of credits stating the number of hours of work carried
\ and the grades earned. Credit toward graduation at this University, how-
ever, will be given only after complete matriculation by one of the regular
methods.

GRADUATES. A general statement of work in the Graduate School may
be found on page 378 of this catalog. The Graduate School also publishes a
special bulletin containing detailed information.

The University has instituted special nine-week summer session courses
for graduate students only. In 1929, over 50 courses of strictly graduate
grade were offered, enabling graduate students to earn one-half semester
of residence credit toward a higher degree. To be eligible to carry these
courses, a student must be enrolled in the Graduate School and must have
had his candidacy for a higher degree approved. No residence credit is
allowed unless the full nine-week courses are completed. No auditors are
permitted in the nine-week courses. It is probable that in future summers
the number and range of the nine-week courses will be increased.

The inauguration of nine-week courses does not affect the privilege of
doing graduate work in the six-week session, except that the number of
graduate courses offered in the latter is somewhat decreased.

 

SPECIAL STUDENTS AND AupIToRS. Adults who desire to pursue college
work for their profit or pleasure, but without reference to a degree, and
those who desire merely to visit lecture courses in subjects which are of
special interest to them, without being held responsible for the work ex-
pected of students working for credit, may register in the summer session
as auditors, taking such courses as may be open to them, as indicated in
the summer session bulletin. Auditors pay the same fee as other students
and enjoy the same privileges, except that of being included in recitation
and theme work.

CREDITS. The maximum number of credits which may be earned to-
ward a degree at Wisconsin is six for the six-week session, eight for the ten-
week session of the Law School, and one for each week of pre- or post-
session or special work for which the student is properly registered. In the
Graduate School, credit is by period of residence only, a six-week session
yielding one-third of a semester and a nine-week session yielding one-half a
semester of residence credit toward a higher degree,
