ADMISSION

Applicants for admission to the freshman class must be at least sixteen years of age. Entrance may be made at any time, provided the candidate is competent to take up the work of the classes then in progress; but it is better to begin upon the first collegiate day in September. Admission to the freshman class of the University may be obtained in one of three ways: (a) by certificate from a fully accredited high school; (b) by examination; (c) by transfer of credits from some other college or university. ADMISSION BY CERTIFICATE FROM ACCREDITED HIGH SCHOOLS The University employs a high school visitor, whose business it is to inspect the high schools of the state. The University bears the expense of such inspection, but does not send the visitor to any school not already accredited until he receives from it a report with regard to the work it is doing which shows that its course of study is such in quantity and quality as to be worth the time and attention of the University. After inspecting a school the visitor reports upon it to the Faculty of the University, and upcn approval the school is added to the list of accredited schools. Students coming to the University from an accredited school are excused from entrance examinations in those subjects which they have pursued there satisfactorily and which are accepted for admission to the University. The University accredits all work which is sufficiently well done. The schools in the list below are therefore not all accredited for the same amount and kind of work.
