New freshmen — nonresidents of Illinois who rank in the upper twentyfive per cent of their high school graduating class, first priority to be given to children of alumni of the University of Illinois. 4. Transfer students — nonveterans who are residents of Illinois with not less than a 3.5 average in their college work in terms of the grading system of the University of Illinois. 5. Transfer students — nonresidents of Illinois with not less than a 4.0 average in their college work in terms of the grading system of the University of Illinois. C. Period III, after July 15,1947 1.

New freshmen — all residents of Illinois or graduates of accredited Illinois high schools who are eligible for admission. 3. New freshmen — nonresidents of Illinois who rank in the upper twentyfive per cent of their graduating class, first priority to be given to children of alumni of the University of Illinois. 4.

Transfer students — nonresidents of Illinois with not less than a 4.0 average in their college work in terms of the grading system of the University of Illinois. Priority of admission for any group will not extend beyond the dates indicated for that group. For example, credentials received after June 15 but prior to July 15 for a resident of Illinois who ranks in the upper twenty-five per cent of his graduating class will be passed upon along with, but not prior to, credentials received for a student ranking in the upper fifty per cent of his class. To obtain the indicated priority, credentials must be received before the close of the priority period. The date upon which an applicant's official credentials are received in complete form at the Registrar's Office is considered to be the date of application. Summer Session of IQ47 Permits for new freshmen and transfer students to enter the summer session of 1947 will be restricted to the following groups: ( a ) Veterans (whether entering as freshmen or as transfer students) who are residents of Illinois and who are eligible for admission under present entrance requirements.
