III. As Special Students.
Persons of the requisite age may be admitted as special stu
dents, without examination, provided they give evidence of ability
to do special work creditably in the University, are recommended to
the Faculty concerned by the professor in charge of the department
of study in which they desire to take a large part of their work, and
have not already been admitted to the University, nor, having applied
for admission, been rejected. By Faculty action, the recommendation
of a special student is to be referred to a committee for provisional
acceptance before final ratification by the Faculty
concerned. Such
students may graduate in any of the courses, on condition of passing
all the required examinations, including those for admission. Stu
dents are not permitted to make up deficiences in entrance subjects by
attending university instruction in those subjects, but are required to
take the necessary instruction outside of the University. Special stu
dents are subject to the same regulations in regard to examinations
and number of hours as students in the general course.
Special students in the Academic Department are admitted at the
age of twenty-three years.
Special students in the College of Law are admitted at the age of
twenty years.
Special students in the College of Agriculture are admitted at the
age of eighteen years.
For admission as special students in Forestry see under College of
Forestry.
Special students in the College of Architecture and Sibley College
are admitted at the age of twenty-one years.
The College of Civil Engineering admits as special students at the
age of twenty-one only graduates of other institutions pursuing ad
vanced work, when the applicants are not candidates for a degree.
Special students in Sibley College will be expected to work with
regular classes wherever practicable, and to pursue a regular mechanic
arts course, such as is considered by the Director to be suitable for
artisans and other optional students, not candidates for a degree.
Candidates for admission as special students should correspond di
rectly with the professor in whose department they expect to take
work, in order to secure a recommendation.
