BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[June 29

T h e Committee on Educational Policy further recommends that when a three-year pre-professional curriculum in medicine at Urbana is announced, a statement to the following effect be printed in the Annual Register in connection with the statement of requirements for admission to the College of Medicine. Students registered in the medical curriculum.—The eight-year medical curriculum offered by the University consists of three years of pre-professiona! study at Urbana, including the required subjects stated above, two years of pre-clinical study and two years of clinical study in the College of Medicine at Chicago and twelve months as an interne in a hospital approved by the University. At the end of the first five years the student will receive the degree of Bachelor of Science in Medicine. (Note: By complying with the requirements in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Urbana, a student may obtain at the end of the fourth year the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science.) At the end of the seventh year the student will receive the Certificate in Medicine or, at his option, the degree of Bachelor of Medicine. Upon completing the eight-year medical curriculum, including the twelve months of internship, the student will receive the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Subject to the restrictions of geographical distribution, the registration of students in the medical curriculum who have completed the second and third years of the pre-professional study at Urbana will be continued in the College of Medicine. Students who do not take the second and third years of the preprofessional curriculum at Urbana will be considered on the same basis as applicants for admission from other institutions. Registration of students entitled to continue in the College of Medicine is subject to the following conditions: 1. T h e student who wishes thus to continue his work in the University must signify his intention to the Registrar, on a form provided by the Registrar, not later than March I of the year in which he proposes to continue his work in the College of Medicine in Chicago. 2. T h e student must comply with the general regulations for registration in the University in the medical course. This includes the payment of a deposit of $15.00 within two weeks of the date of notification that he will be admitted. Failure to pay this deposit within the specified time will subject the applicant to forfeiture of his place. If he enters, the deposit will be applied on the fees of the first semester. 3. No student who is on probation in the University (or who has been dropped from the University for poor scholarship) at the time he seeks to continue his University registration in the College of Medicine, has any claim to precedence in registration over students who come with clear records from the University of Illinois or other institutions. 4. No student at Urbana will be permitted to transfer his registration to the College of Medicine while his record shows a deficiency in any of the subjects which, as general requirements of the University, are a part of his curriculum. 5. T h e registration of non-residents of Illinois can be continued in the College of Medicine only provided there is room after all properly qualified residents of the state have been accommodated. Students who have had their pre-medical work at other institutions.—The order of admission to the College of Medicine of students who have had their pre-medical work at other institutions, that is, applicants not registered in the regular eight-year medical curriculum or who have not had at least the second and third pre-medical years at Urbana, shall be based upon their scholastic records; provided that the minimum scholastic average in all cases shall be equivalent to a 3.5 average in the University's grading system, as now required. T h e scholastic records of all such applicants shall be averaged on or about July 1 and the first-year class shall be filled by assigning to it applicants in the order of their scholastic standing, beginning with the highest ranking applicant; vacancies which may occur after all places in the class have been assigned may be filled from the remaining applicants in the order of their scholastic standing.
