The late registration fine is waived for students so deferred. 4. Continuing part-time students are not permitted to advance enroll. B. Graduate Nondegree Candidates 1. Nondegree status for graduate students is restricted to persons who have no interest in obtaining a degree on the Urbana-Champaign campus. 2.

The term college preparatory high school subjects is introduced and defined. 4. Applicants to the College of Agriculture formerly admitted with 10 units of college preparatory courses must now present 12 units, but 2 of these may be agriculture or home economics. This exception will allow admission of wellqualified students who have taken career-oriented courses in that field, yet will not create a "hack door" entrance for admission of other students. 5. The possibility of granting waivers to specific subject requirements or rank-inclass for otherwise well-qualified students, long practiced, is now stated in the requirements. Upon approval, the various colleges will choose the revised patterns which are From Code on Campus Affairs and Regulations Applying to All Students.
