B. GRADUATION

A student who has been in residence at the University for not less than three full quarters, who has met all requirements for graduation (including minimum scholarship requirements) except those which he would fulfill by completing the courses for which he is registered at the time he withdraws for military or naval service may be recommended for his degree, provided he has completed the fifth week of the third quarter and provided he has a standing in the courses for which he is then registered which if maintained to the end of the quarter would satisfy the requirements for his graduation. If withdrawal occurs before the completion of the fifth week of such quarter, the student may be recommended for his degree upon passing examinations covering the first half of the subject matter of the courses in which he is then registered. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Adams, these regulations were adopted.
