48 ADMISSION TO COLLEGE 



Special Students 



Students taking special work in any of the College courses must be at 

 least twenty-one years of age, must give good and satisfactory reasons 

 for desiring such classification, and must furnish satisfactory evidence 

 that they are thoroughly prepared to pursue the work chosen. Permission 

 to take such special course and the subjects included therein depends upon 

 the approval of the President of the college and the Dean or Head of the 

 Department in which the student seeks enrollment. 



Permission to take a special course will not be granted to students until 

 they have completed the Freshman year of some one of the courses offered, 

 and then only for a period not to exceed two years. Exceptions to the 

 regulations requiring the completion of the Freshman year, and to the 

 rule limiting the special course to two years, will be made in case of 

 persons of mature years who desire to take a particular line of scientific 

 or technical work, and whose application to take such course is approved 

 by the Faculty of the Division in which the student seeks enrollment, and 

 by the President of the College. 



Special students are subject to the same rules governing conditions on 

 back work as apply to all other students. The standard prerequisites for 

 advanced work are subject to limited modification with the approval of the 

 Dean of the Division in which the student is classified. A student wishing 

 to change from a regular to a special or irregular course, either in the same 

 or another department, will not be permitted to change from one course 

 to another if he has a "condition" or a "not pass" in a subject not common 

 to the two courses ; or if he has more than one "condition" or "not pass" 

 in subjects common to the two courses. Special students, as well as regu- 

 lar students, are subject to the conditions given under Requirements for 

 Admission. 



It is the theory of special classification that students should be par- 

 ticularly strong and well prepared to do thorough work in the studies they 

 elect. A high standard of scholarship will, therefore, be required of all 

 who are thus classified. 



Graduates of approved colleges, who are not candidates for a degree, 

 may take special work in this institution under the rules governing special 

 students, without having to complete the Freshman year in any of the 

 college courses. Permission to take such special course and the subjects 

 included therein depends upon the approval of the President of the College 

 and the Dean or Head of the Department in which the student seeks en- 

 rollment. 



Irregular College Students 



Worthy students in good standing over twenty-one years of age, not 

 prepared to meet the entrance requirements of the Freshman year, may be 

 admitted without examination as irregular college students, and may pursue 

 college work not to exceed two years, provided:
