Students who desire to be absent from the University must apply to the Eegent for leave of absence.

DISMISSION.

Students who have maintained a good character for faithful study and correct deportment, and who have paid all their University dues, may at any time ask and receive an honorable dismission; and if any such student has attended the University for one or more years, he shall be entitled to receive with dismission a certificate stating the studies which he has pursued, and the standings he has obtained.

STUDIES, EXAMINATIONS, PROMOTIONS.

All studies in the University courses are free to matriculated students. Each student may choose and pursue such as he may desire, subject to such conditions as to preparation, times of study and number of studies as may be necessary to secure efficiency in classes and economy in teaching. In accordance with the provisions of the act of the legislature of 1873, the Trustees require t h a t each student shall take, each term, one study at least from the following list: Physics, chemistry, mineralogy, physiography, anatomy and physiology, botany, zoology, geology, entomology, drawing and designing, mathematics, surveying; elements of agriculture and horticulture, vegetable physiology, agricultural chemistry, agricultural engineering and architecture, animal husbandry, rural economy, landscape gardening, history of agriculture, veterinary science; architectural drawing and designing, elements of construction, graphical statics, history and esthetics of architecture, estimates, mining engineering, metallurgy, analytical mechanics, geodesy, principles of mechanism, hydraulics, thermo-dynamics, strength of materials, prime movers, mill work, machine drawing, roads and railroads, construction and use of machinery, modeling and patterns, bridges, stone work, astronomy; military science, mental science, logic, and political economy. T h a t the time of students may be fully employed, each person is required to pursue three studies; he may not have less or more without permission of the Faculty. Permission to take a fourth study will not be given if the average for the term next preceding has fallen below 90 for three studies, or 85 for four studies. Change of studies during a term may not be made without permission of the Faculty. Examinations on studies of the term will be held a t the close of each term. A standing of 75 on a scale of 100 is required to secure a credit for any study. A student who receives a mark of not less than 60 in one study is conditioned and may have a re-examination within three months by making application to the instructor within ten days of notification of standing. A mark below 60 in any one study, or below 75 in two or. more studies, constitutes a failure, and the student may not proceed with any studies without special permission of the faculty. A student who has pursued a study with a class in the University and has been absent from regular examinations for satisfactory reasons, may be examined by the professors at their discretion. Special examinations not provided for as above will not be held except by permission of the Faculty.
