INSTITUTIONS, DEGREES, ETC. 409 



Enrollment with a view to obtaining any degree or diploma 

 requiring laboratory work involves the payment of special labora- 

 tory fees. 



With a view to furnishing preparation for certain diplomas or 

 special certificates, the Universities have created special instruc- 

 tion and means of research, for the use of which special fees are 

 required. 



The payment of the fees of enrollment pertaining to a certain 

 degree or diploma does not release one from paying the fees of 

 enrollment pertaining to any other degree or diploma sought at 

 the same time. The only exception made concerns students 

 enrolled for the "licence en droit " who may also be enrolled for the 

 "licence es lettres" without having to pay fees anew. In like 

 manner the students enrolled for the "doctorat en medecine" or 

 the "diplome de pharmacien" may be enrolled without further 

 charge at the Faculty of Science for the "certificats d'etudes 

 superieures;" but the reciprocal favor is not granted to students 

 enrolled for the "licence es lettres" or the "certificat d'etudes 

 superieures de sciences." 



Enrollment must be requested by the candidate in person at the 

 office of the Secretary of the Faculty or School in which he wishes 

 to begin or pursue his studies. It cannot be sought by corre- 

 spondence or by proxy. 



Formalities Required for "Inscription." In order to enroll for 

 the first time, the French or foreign student must, on the one hand, 

 establish his identity, and, on the other hand, prove that his 

 previous studies have prepared him to undertake the work which 

 will permit him to obtain the degree or diploma which he seeks. 



The student from the United States who is beginning his studies 

 in France ought to present, when enrolling for the first time: 

 (i) a passport countersigned and sealed ("vise") by the French 

 consul of the region from which he comes, or an affidavit likewise 

 certified by the French consul; (2) the "diplome de bachelier fran- 

 ais" l or, in lieu of this, a degree or diploma which has been 

 declared equivalent to, or a substitute for, the "diplome de bache- 

 lier;" (3) a receipt indicating that he has declared a residence in 

 France. 



1 The "dipldme de bachelier francais" or "baccalaureat de 1'enseignement 

 secondaire" is the certificate delivered to the French student who has passed 

 a difficult State examination at the completion of his studies in the secondary 

 school system. In general function it corresponds to our High-school or prep- 

 aratory school diploma; but it represents a much more arduous course of study.
