TERM EXAMINATIONS. Written examinations are held at the close of each term or oftener, and whenever any study has been completed. Any student failing to answer correctly 60 per cent of the questions proposed, loses all credit for that study, and is precluded from proceeding with any other studies without special permission. If he answers from 60 to 74 per cent of the questions he is conditioned and may have another examination on application to and arrangement with the instructor. 75 per cent is required to pass.

In the College of Engineering he must complete the course of study as laid down. In the Colleges of Agriculture and Literature and in the school of natural science 40 term credits, and in the College of Engineering and in the school of chemistry 41 term credits are required for graduation. This includes two credits for military science which are not required of women, who may therefore graduate with two credits less than the number stated. Men, excused for cause from the military requirements, may elect in lieu thereof two extra term's work in any subjects taught in the University. 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 is necessary to secure a bachelor's degree. In all cases an accepted thesis is required for graduation. The subject must be announced not later than the first Monday of the winter term, and the completed thesis must be handed to the dean of the proper College by April 30th. The work should be done under
