the institution from which he comes and an official statement of the subjects upon which he was admitted to such institution, provided it appears that the subjects are those required here for admission by examination, or real equivalents. Candidates, to enter the University in this way, should submit such papers to the Registrar before the time of entrance, so that all doubtful points may be cleared up in advance. ADMISSION AS SPECIAL STUDENTS Persons over twenty-one years of age, not candidates for a degree, may be admitted to classes, after satisfying the President and professor in charge of the department in which such classes are taught, that they possess the requisite information and ability to pursue profitably, as special students, the chosen subjects. Such students are not matriculated; they pay a tuition fee of five dollars a term and incidental fees. ADMISSION TO ADVANCED STANDING After satisfying in some of the ways already enumerated all the entrance requirements for admission to the freshman class of the college which he wishes to enter, the applicant for advanced standing may secure such standing either by examination or by transfer of credits from some other college or university. 1. By Examination.—Candidates for advanced standing, not from other colleges or universities, may secure such standing on examination only. In the case of freshmen students seeking advanced standing on the basis of their preparatory work, such standing shall be granted after satisfactory examination only. 2. By Transfer of Credits.—Credits from other colleges or universities may be accepted by the Faculty for advanced standing; but at least one year's residence at the University and the completion of one year's work are necessary to secure a bachelor's degree. In all cases, a certificate of honorable dismissal is required, together with a certified record of work done in the institution from which the applicant comes. These should be presented for approval some time before the student enters for work.
