BULLETIN OF LONGWOOD COLLEGE

Residence

Normal residence requirements of one academic year or its equivalent may be reduced by extension and transfer to a minimum of eighteen semester hours.

Students with undergraduate deficiencies may find it necessary to take more than the normal time to complete requirements.

Credit by Transfer

Transfer of credit from another institution 1s permitted up to 6 credit hours.

Credit by Extension

Beginning with the fall semester of 1962, by arrangement with the University of Virginia Extension Division, Longwood College will offer graduate courses by extension. The number and location of these courses will be determined by demand. Six semester hours will be the maximum an individual student may offer in fulfillment of his degree requirement.

Course Numbers

Graduate courses are of two categories: 500-courses are for Graduates and Advanced Undergraduates while 600-courses are for Graduates only. At least 40 per cent of a student's total program must consist of 600-courses.

Student Load

Fifteen credit hours per semester constitute a normal load during the academic year. For permission to carry more than this the student may petition the Graduate Council. If the student is already employed, the normal load is 3 semester hours; permission to carry more than 3 semester hours during one semester must therefore be obtained from the Graduate Council.

Time Limit

The work for a graduate degree is to be completed within seven years after commencing such work. An extension of this time-limit is permissible only upon the consent in writing of the Graduate Council.

Graduation

A student planning to graduate on a certain date should file with the Dean of the College an application for a graduate degree at least 60 days before the degree is to be conferred.
