1957] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS IOO9
CHANGE IN REGULATIONS GOVERNING ADMINISTRATION
OF ILLINOIS ACCOUNTANCY LAW
(9) The Committee on Accountancy and the Board of Examiners in Accountancy
jointly recommend a change in the condition rule for the C.P.A. examination
in the University Regulations adopted by the Board of Trustees for the
administration of the Illinois Accountancy Law.
The rule as amended would read as follows and I concur in the Committee's
recommendation:
25. A candidate under Section 2 of the Act may acquire condition standing in
the subject or subjects failed if he
a. Passes Theory of Accounts and Practical Accounting* only and fails
Auditing and Law with grades not lower than 50 in each subject failed;
b. Or passes in both Auditing and Law and attains a grade not lower than
60 in Theory of Accounts and Practical Acounting*;
c. Or passes Theory of Accounts and Practical Accounting* and one other
subject, Auditing or Law, regardless of the grade received in the subject
failed.
A candidate who achieves condition standing under paragraph a, b, or c
above shall be credited with the subject or subjects in which he received
passing grades and may upon application and the payment of the required
examination fees (listed below) present himself for re-examination in the
subject or subjects in which he failed at any three of the six semiannual
examinations next succeeding the examination at which he qualified for such
partial re-examination. Whenever a candidate presents himself for reexamination
he must write on all subjects in which he then has failing
grades.
If on re-examination, the candidate passes in the subjects in which he has
failed, he shall be eligible for the C.P.A. certificate; if he fails to so qualify,
he shall revert to the status of a new applicant who is required to write the
entire examination.
The time limitation within which a candidate is required to pass subjects
under this rule shall not include any period during which the applicant serves
in the Armed Forces of the United States.
Fees for each examination written under Rule 25 are as follows:
For candidates writing Theory of Accounts and
Practical Accounting $40 00
For candidates writing Auditing or Commercial Law or a
combination of Auditing and Commercial Law $30 00
On motion of Mr. Johnston, this change was approved.
REGULATIONS GOVERNING ASSESSMENT OF RESIDENT
AND NONRESIDENT STUDENT FEES
(10) Since 1922 the University has had regulations, approved by the Board of
Trustees, defining the residence status of students for the purpose of assessment
of fees. These regulations require amendment from time to time to take into
account changing conditions and circumstances. The Committee on Fees and
the Dean of Admissions and Records have studied the regulations and recommend
a number of changes to make the regulations consistent with recent changes
in the state law relating to emancipated minors and to clarify language. Two
principal changes would permit the assessment of the same tuition and other
fees as are assessed against resident students in the cases of certain classes of
students who live in Illinois but who under present rules are classified as nonresidents,
specifically: students from families of officers of the Armed Forces
of the United States who are stationed in Illinois and from faculty families who
have not yet acquired legal residence in terms of eligibility to vote in state
elections. The complete text of the proposed regulations is given below.
I recommend approval of the following new regulations.
* The examination in Theory of Accounts and the two sessions of the examination in
Practical Accounting are considered as one subject in administering this rule.
