6 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [July 18 3. T h e award shall be on the basis of financial aid and scholastic standing and following the same criteria applicable to awards of other undergraduate scholarships. On motion of Mr. Johnston, these regulations were adopted. ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES (9) The three University Senates have approved the following recommendations from the All-University Committee on Admissions. Admission of High School Seniors in the Top Quarter of Their Classes The Dean of Admissions and Records is authorized to consider for admission high school seniors in the top quarter of their classes who apply for admission to sessions beginning in June, 1964, and thereafter, on the basis of official documents from their high schools and other secondary schools, viz: a statement of six semesters of completed high school work, a statement of the courses to be taken in the last two semesters, the date of probable graduation, and an estimate of the applicant's scholastic rank in his class. Admission of Foreign Students The Office of Admissions and Records is authorized to decide which student shall be classified as "foreign" according to the following definition: A person who is a citizen or permanent resident alien of a country or political area other than the United States and has a residence outside the United States to which he expects to return and either is, or proposes to be, a temporary alien in the United States for educational purposes shall be classified as a foreign student. An alien who has permanent resident (immigrant) status in the United States and has received such classification for convenience only and maintains a residence outside the United States which he has no intention of abandoning shall be classified as a foreign student upon receipt of valid evidence (notarized certificate) from the permanent resident alien attesting to these facts. The test given by the English Language Institute, Testing and Certification Division, Ann Arbor, Michigan, shall be required of all foreign students, including transfers, who file applications for admission after September 1, 1962, except foreign students who are citizens of a country where the native language is English, or who have degrees from colleges or universities in countries where English is the native language and where all instruction was in English. A score on that examination will be received by the University of Illinois before action is taken on the student's request for admission. All prospective foreign students who receive a score below the minimum score of acceptance on the test will not be admitted to the University. The Dean of Admissions and Records may, however, upon recommendation of the college concerned, waive the requirement of test if evidence presented by the applicant clearly justifies such action. The Senate Coordinating Council has considered these actions and has advised that they are ready for presentation to the Board of Trustees. I concur in the recommendations. O n m o t i o n of M r .
