which the successful applicant will be in possession of an entrance card 

 which he will need only to present to the Treasurer for registration and 

 to the Dean for classification. 



All uniform certificates should be filed with the Registrar not later 

 than the second Monday in August or the first Monday in January. 



C. Admission from Unaccredited High Schools 



A student presenting a certificate from an unaccredited school may 

 be admitted to collegiate courses by the following plan: 



(1) He is to pass entrance exanfinations in acceptable subjects repre- 

 senting each of the main groups of subjects certified, for one-third of the 

 number of acceptable credits so certified. 



(2) The subjects for examination are to be selected by the college 

 examiner at the time of the examination and irrespective of the choice 

 of the student. 



Each year, on the first Tuesday of May and the Monday preceding, 

 college entrance examinations may be held in any unaccredited four-year 

 high school applying for such examinations. The Inspector of Secondary 

 Schools for the State Board of Education, Des Moines, Iowa, sends to the 

 Superintendents of the unaccredited high schools of Iowa for their super- 

 vision the entrance examinations for the applicants who desire admission 

 to the three state institutions. All papers, together with the examination 

 questions used, should be sent to the Inspector. 



In case the student fails in one or two groups of the subjects he may 

 take another examination at the regular time set for the examinations in 

 September and at the institution to which the student seeks admission. 



(3) The total number of credits ultimately allowed on the certificate 

 shali not exceed three times the number earned by examination. 



(4) The total amount of credit gained in this way, together with 

 additional credit for subjects not indicated in the certificate (or subjects 

 so indicated, but not acceptable), if additional credit is needed, shall be at 

 least 14 units. In case the student presents less than fifteen acceptable en- 

 trance units he is to be conditioned to the extent of enough units to bring 

 the total number up to fifteen units. 



D. Admission by Examination and on Other Evidences of Proficiency 



ADMISSION BY EXAMINATION 



(A suggestive list of examination questions may be obtained from the 



Registrar.) 



Students who desire to enter by examination and who present satis- 

 factory evidence that they have devoted sufficient time to preparation, will 

 be given examinations in any subjects required for entrance. 



Students desiring to enter by examination will be expected to pass 

 examinations in the required and elective subjects, according to work 

 outlined on pages 27 to 30.
