BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[June 28

College of Dentistry Applications for admission must be made to the Examiner of the College of Dentistry in Chicago. Credentials covering all college and high-school work must be sent directly to the Examiner from each institution attended. F o r each applicant whose college record meets the requirements, the health officer at the last institution attended will be asked to furnish a certificate concerning the applicant's health both physical and mental. W h e r e the health service of an institution cannot supply the desired information, the candidate, prior to admission and in addition to the required routine physical examination (see Physical Examination and Health Certificate below), must secure a health certificate from the University Student Health Service. A student whose health record is not satisfactory, who is on scholastic probation at, or who has been dropped for poor scholarship from, the last institution attended prior to seeking admission will not be considered. As the capacity of the college is limited, it must be understood that selection is necessary. Applicants who meet in full the course requirements and who have averages of 3.0 or better will be considered by the Committee on Admissions. In selecting the first-year class the Committee will take into consideration such factors as the scholastic record, the college at which the applicant prepared, letters of recommendation, especially from teachers in the laboratory sciences, health record, aptitude tests, and such special examinations as may be determined by the Committee. A personal interview with the Committee is desirable. Invitations to register will be sent to approved candidates. Applications will be received at any time after December 1. First-year students are enrolled only in the fall, there being no mid-year admissions and no regular summer session. T h e requirements for admission as stated in the Annual Register must be met in full before admission will be granted. No deficiencies arc permitted. The Committee on Admissions may waive full compliance with the course specifications if the applicant possesses unusually high qualifications. Procedure for students tvho have completed their predental work at the University of Illinois.—Other factors being equal, students who complete their second year of predental work in the University of Illinois at Urbana will be given preferential consideration by the Committee on Admissions. Such students must comply with 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 1 of the year in which he proposes to continue his work in the College of Dentistry in Chicago. " 2. T h e student must comply with the general regulations for registration in the University in the dental 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 Dentistry, 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 considered for admission into the College of Dentistry while his record shows a deficiency in any of the subjects which, as general requirements of the University, are a part of his curriculum. T h e University Senate recommends that these proposals be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. T h e designated Committee on Admissions is authorized for an experimental period of four years from September I, 1940. 2. T h e designated Committee on Admissions shall include the University
