SESSION OF 1920-'21
The following classes of applicants are required to take examinations
for entrance units:
(1) Those coming from unaffiliated schools must be examined or
otherwise tested in all subjects on which they would receive credit.
(2) Graduates from affiliated high schools or holders of any
teachers' certificates, whose approved units are less than fifteen will
be examined for the remaining number of units.
(3) Students from affiliated high schools who are not graduates,
will be required to take examination on all subjects on which they expect
credit.
In all cases, if a student, after being permitted to enter a college
class in any department, fails to demonstrate his ability to carry the
course with satisfaction to the professor in charge, the amount of
credit (entrance or college) given may be reduced or cancelled, and
he may be required to enter a lower class.

teachers' certificates, 12 units; graduation from state normal school,
