36 THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN

METHODS OF ADMISSION

There are four general methods by which admission to undergraduate
standing in the University may be obtained:

1. By presenting a certificate of graduation from an accredited high

school.

2. By submitting evidence of studies successfully pursued in another

institution of higher learning.

3. By passing entrance examinations.

4. By qualifying as an adult special student.

Prospective freshmen and adult special students may learn at any
time of year by corresponding with the University Registrar whether or
not they have the necessary qualifications for admission and upon what
basis they may be admitted. Prospective students who have had some
college work should correspond with the Advanced Standing Committee of
the college or school to which the student desires to be admitted. Students
may enter the University at the opening of either semester or of the sum-
mer session, but all credentials should be filed sufficiently in advance of the
date chosen to permit the proper authorities to pass upon them and to issue
the necessary certificates of admission. Candidates for admission in Sep-
tember are responsible for having their credentials filed by the first of
August. The credentials must in every case include a complete record of all
previous secondary school and advanced work.

ADMISSION UPON CERTIFICATE

WISCONSIN SCHOOLS

Graduates of accredited high schools may enter the University, with-
out examination, upon presentation of a certificate showing the satisfactory
completion of the fifteen required units and bearing the recommendation
of the principal. Only the form prepared by the University is acceptable,
a supply of which may be obtained from the Registrar by the principal.
The completed certificates should be returned to the University before
August 1.

Principals of accredited schools are requested to note the statement on
page 41 regarding the examination of freshmen in English. A similar
examination in algebra is given to freshmen in the College of Engineering.

Graduates of four-year non-accredited schools in Wisconsin who have
satisfied the full requirements for admission to the University may be
admitted on probation, without examination, upon recommendation of the
principal.

Any high school or academy in the state whose course of instruction
covers the branches required for admission to the University may be ad-
mitted to its accredited list of preparatory schools after a satisfactory ex-
amination by a committee of the Faculty. Upon application made by an
officer of any high school or academy in the state to the Chairman of the
Committee on High-School Relations, the University will examine the school
with reference to placing it upon its accredited list of preparatory schools.
The examination, which will be conducted by a committee of the Faculty,
will cover the course of study and methods of instruction in the school. No
school can be placed upon the list whose course of study is not fully equal
to the four-year course for high schools recommended by the State Super-
intendent.
