General Information
on September 7 to 12. Write Registrar for particulars. Credits
earned by examination under the supervision of the State Department
of Education are accepted by Abilene Christian College.
The following classes of applicants are required to take examination
for admission units: (1) Those coming from unaffiliated
schools must be examined in all subjects in which they would receive
credit. (2) Graduates from affiliated high schools or holders
of any teacher's 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 examinations in the prescribed subjects, and
enough others to complete the fifteen units required for entrance.
In any case, if a student, after being permitted to enter college in
any department fails to demonstrate his ability to carry the course
with satisfaction to the professor in charge, the amount of credit
(high school or college) given may be reduced or canceled and he
may be required to enter a lower course.
By Teacher's Certificate.-An applicant holding a first grade
state teacher's certificate will be given credit for eight and one-half
units of credit: three in English, two in history, one-half in civics,
two in algebra, and one in plane geometry. An applicant holding a
permanent state teacher's certificate may receive four additional
units. Deficiencies must be met by examinations or work in college.
Admission From Other Colleges.-A student seeking admission
from other colleges must present a letter of honorable dismissal, a
catalogue of the college from which he comes, and a full statement
of the work he has done, including high school credits. This statement
must be officially made out and properly signed by the authorities
of the college where the work was done. He must also furnish
evidence of good moral character and honorable standing in the
school last attended.
By Individual Approval.-At the discretion of the Dean an
applicant over twenty-one years may be admitted to the freshman
class without examinations. Persons who have been in school recently
are not expected to be in this class. Students thus admitted may
not receive credit toward a certificate nor a degree until the seven
required and eight elective units are absolved. These units may be
absolved as follows: (1) By passing an entrance examination in
the subject or subjects provided the examination is taken before
work in the subject-is done in college. (2) By counting back work
done in the college. A course of six semester hours absolves one
and one-half units. Such work when used to absolve entrance credit
loses its value as college credit. (3) By making an average grade of C
on thirty semester hours of work in the freshman year. (4) By
ranking in the upper quartile of the freshman class in the psychological
test taken during freshman week.
Instruction For Registration
All students should matriculate in person. A transcript of
credits (high school or college) should be sent to the registrar at
least two weeks before registration.
A five dollar fee is required for room reservation in the dormitories.
Reservation should be made through the registrar.
September 14 and 15 will be given to instruction and registration
of freshmen. These days are known as "Freshman Week."29
