Every request from a College student to the Faculty or to the Administrative Board should be made in writing, and should be addressed to the Dean of Harvard College, 5 University Hall. A petition may be formal or informal, but must be clear. It must contain the writer’s name, the name of the class in which he is registered, and his address. Registration and Residence. 2. Every student is required to present himself for registration on Thursday, the first day of the academic year, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., at a place announced on the bulletin boards. He is further required to register not later than 12 m. on the first week-day after the Christmas recess and the first week-day after the April recess. 3. Continuous residence at the University is required during term- time. No interruption of residence is permissible, except for satis- factory reasons stated to the Recorder (orally, if possible) before the student leaves Cambridge. The student who has been absent must also report in person to the Recorder immediately on his return. College Exercises. 4. A student prevented by sickness or other cause from attending College exercises for a day or more must send notice to the Recorder without delay. Immediately on his returil to duty, he must make, at the Recorder’s office (5 University Hall), a specific statement of ihe cause of his absence ; and, if his explanation is satisfactory, his absence will be excused. 5. A student who fails to give an instructor a theme, forensic, or other written composition at the appointed time will get no credit for it, unless he satisfies the Recorder that the delay was caused by serious illness or other unavoidable hindrance. 6. A student who has neglected the work of any College course may be excluded from the course by the instructor with the approval of the Dean. 7. A student who has failed in any course of prescribed study must pass the mid-year and final examinations of that course in some sub- sequent year A student who has failed in an elective study may make up the deficiency by taking in some subsequent j^ear the same or any equivalent elective study in addition to those regularly required. 8. To obtain credit in a course of study, or to count the course towards fulfilment of the requirements for the degree, the student must have attended both the mid-year and the final examination. This rule applies to all students, including suspended students and students on leave of absence. 9. A student who has been absent from a mid-year examination, and has satisfied the Recorder that his absence was caused by serious illness or other unavoidable hindrance, is entitled to a second and last opportunity of passing the examination at some time during the period of the final examinations, provided he make written request for such examination before May 1. 10. A student who, having passed the mid-year examination in any course of study, has been absent from the final examination, and has satisfied the Recorder that his absence was caused by serious ill- ness or other unavoidable hindrance, is entitled to a second and last opportunity of passing the examination at some time during the first fortnight of the ensuing academic year, provided he make written request for such examination before September 10. 11. No student is permitted to take any books or papers into an examination room except by express direction of the instructor. No communication is permitted between students in an examination room on any subject whatever. 12. If a student is tardy at an examination, he may not be admitted to it, and may be reported as absent. X* H \ ^ 0 o . Promotion. 13. In order to be promoted to a higher class at the end of a College year, a student must not, in that year, have stood below Grade C in more than three full courses or the equivalent of three ; and must not, in his College work up to that time, have a deficiency of two and a half courses. A student who has failed of promotion regains his former standing as soon as, at the end of a College 3 T ear, the average number of courses in which he has stood below Grade C from the beginning of the year in which he failed of promotion is not more than three a year, and the deficiency in his College work is less than two and a half courses. 14. A student who has failed of promotion, and who wishes to regain his former standing by additional work, must receive for his choice of studies the written approval of the Dean. 15. A student who has failed of promotion under the operation of § 13 is thereby placed on probation (§19) unless he satisfies the Administrative Board that his failure was not due to neglect. Good Order. 16. No student shall lodge or board in any house disapproved by the Regent, or change his lodging without giving immediate notice to the Recorder. 17. No student shall refuse to give his name to an officer of the University. Every society of students shall give the Regent, at his request, a complete list of its officers and members. 18.
