ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGE
A student may enter the College of Engineering as a matriculated student, registered as a candidate for a degree, or as a special student, permitted to attend such courses in the College as he may be qualified to take, but not as a candidate for a degree.
Applicants may submit certificates of secondary school records to the College Registrar after March 15 for the next September opening of College or after December 1 for the next February opening. The forms for certification will be provided on request. While it is understood that a complete secondary school record will not usually be available until later, the partial record will serve for preliminary consideration of the application.
It is required that each applicant present himself for an interview at a time arranged by the Registrar so that the College may evaluate his probable fitness to do engineering college work and subsequently to find employment in the profession. This estimate will be on the basis of physical and emotional fitness and on previous scholastic achievement. In instances where the evidence is not reasonably conclusive, certain tests and examinations may be required. A fee will be charged for this testing service.
Every applicant for entrance into the Freshman Class must furnish to the College a statement of good moral character.
Class room and laboratory facilities, demands of good instruction, and prospects of employment in a particular field limit the number of students to be admitted each year. It was found necessary, in view of these factors, to close the September 1938-39 admissions in Industrial Chemistry on August 15, 1938, and to require that the matriculation fee be paid at that time. There is a possibility that this and other courses may be affected by similar closing dates and that the matriculation fee may be payable on notification by the Registrar prior to the registration dates published in this catalog.
It is requested that all Freshmen complete their registration arrangements for September 1939-40 admissions before Wednesday, September 13, 1939, at twelve noon. An extra registration fee will be required of those who register after that time. Similarly, February admissions will be closed at noon on the Wednesday of registration week, and the extra registration fee will be held effective after that time.
