PART VI—THE GRADUATE SCHOOL

C. S. SLICHTER, DEAN

ADMISSION

Admission to the Graduate School is based upon the undergraduate
record. In order to avoid delays incident to the opening of a session, appli-
cants for admission should send to the Graduate Office, several weeks in
advance of their coming, an official transcript of this record. They will do
well to ascertain promptly, in person or by letter, whether the record shown
by the transcript is in all respects acceptable for admission to the Graduate
School.

Graduates of the four-year courses of the various colleges of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin are eligible for admission to the Graduate School with-
out examination and without presentation of transcript.

Graduates of institutions in which the requirements for a bachelor’s
degree fall short of those existing at the University of Wisconsin may be
admitted to the Graduate School, provided their training is found to be less
than a year short of the regular requirement for admission.

Admission to the Graduate School does not of itself imply admission to
candidacy for an advanced degree. Admission to candidacy is determined
only after a student has shown that he is qualified to pursue graduate study
successfully.

Members of the faculties of other institutions or of the staffs of re-
search organizations, who have been granted higher degrees, are invited to
avail themselves of the facilities offered by this University to do special
investigation.

FEES AND EXPENSES

For detailed statement see section on Student Expense, beginning page
15. See also page 24 for statement regarding room and board.

Graduate students who have completed all the work for a higher degree
except the oral examination, pay a fee of $10 only:

SUMMER SESSION WORK

The regular summer session of the University is six weeks in length.
There is also, however, a session of nine weeks open only to graduate stu-
dents. The classes and seminars in the nine-week session are held on the
first four days of the week, leaving Friday and Saturday free for uninter-
rupted work in laboratory or library. Two courses pursued for nine weeks
constitute full credit for the work of one-half semester. One six-week
course and one nine-week course may also be offered for full credit, pro-
vided extra work is arranged for the last three weeks of the nine-week
course. This permits any six-week graduate course to be associated with
any nine-week course for full half-semester residence credit. No nine-week
course, however, may be taken for six weeks only.

See page 418 for statement of fees and expenses in the summer session.
