NON-COLLEGIATE COURSES 



REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION 



Any student desiring to enter a non-collegiate course must be at least 

 seventeen years of age (except for the two-year course in home economics 

 where the student must be eighteen years of age), and must present a cer- 

 tificate signed by his county or high school superintendent showing that he 

 has satisfactorily completed the eighth grade of the public schools or its 

 equivalent. If the applicant has attended high school, this certificate must 

 also give his complete high school or academic record. All applications for 

 admission should be addressed to the Registrar, Iowa State College, who will 

 furnish the proper blanks. These certificates should be filed with the Regis- 

 trar as promptly as possible, and at least two weeks before the opening of 

 the semester. 



These courses are not intended to be preparatory for the four-year courses, 

 though through them some entrance credit may be secured. This is, how- 

 ever, not their chief function, and students who are merely seeking entrance 

 credits are advised to obtain them in the high school. 



High school graduates who are able to meet the entrance requirements of 

 the collegiate courses, or students who are able to present 14 units of accept- 

 able high school or academic work, are not eligible to the non-collegiate 

 courses, with the exception of the one-year dairy course. Such students ar 

 referred to the two-year collegiate course in agriculture as set forth on page 

 20. Opportunities are there offered for work of advanced grade covering 

 practically the same subjects as are taught in the non-collegiate courses. 

 This work is better adapted to high school graduates than is that of the 

 two-year non-collegiate courses.
