ADVANCED STANDING* Students who have received the degree of bachelor of arts or bachelor of science, and those who have completed a "medical preparatory course," equivalent to that given by the University of Illinois, and graduates of reputable schools of pharmacy, veterinary science, or dental surgery, whose course extends over two years, may enter the sophomore class and complete their studies upon three years of attendance, provided they fulfill all other requirements for admission and graduation. Students thus advanced may not complain of any conflict of hours, nor absent themselves from any part of the lower conflicting course; but they may make up deficiencies in the work of the winter session during the spring course in such branches as are represented in that course.
