OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO BEGIN THE WORK OF THE FRESHMAN YEAR IN FEBRUARY
In order to meet a very real need the College has for the past several years made it possible for a limited number of high school graduates to begin the work of the Freshman year in February. Men entering at that time may, if they so desire, continue the work of the Freshman year during the Summer Session. Those who satisfactorily complete the work of the Spring and Summer Sessions are then eligible for admission to the Sophomore class the following September.
A man who enters in February, therefore, is able to graduate one year earlier than would have been possible if he had waited until the following September to enter. Freshmen continuing throughout the Spring and Summer Sessions receive the same number of credit hours of instruction as do those students who take the regular Freshman program beginning in September. The number of class hours of attendance per week for the February group is somewhat greater than the weekly total for those entering in September. However, experience has shown that the better student is able to complete the work of the Spring and Summer Sessions satisfactorily without suffering any ill effects. As the Summer Session ends about the middle of August, a vacation of approximately one month is available between the closing of the Summer Session and the beginning of classes in September.
High school students who wish to apply for admission to the February sections should submit certificates of high school training immediately after the December 1st preceding the February entrance as the enrollment is definitely limited. These transcript and application forms may be obtained upon request from the College Registrar. While it is understood that a complete secondary school record will usually not be available until the student’s graduation, the partial record will serve for preliminary consideration of the application. The final statement will be obtained by the College. All certificates of high school training must be mailed directly to the Registrar by the principals of the high schools.
