SPECIAL NOTICE TO STUDENTS 

The catalogue of East Carolina College, issued in the 
spring of each year, is intended to give such a descrip- 
tion of the work of the College and such a digest of its 
regulations as are needed by students. Although the 
courses announced and the regulations given are fairly 
continuous from year to year, neither of them is valid 
beyond the succeeding year, for before the end of the 
succeeding year a new catalogue will have been issued, 
superseding all previous catalogues. 

Ordinarily a student may expect to be allowed to se- 
cure a diploma or a degree in accordance with the re- 
quirements of the curriculum laid down in the catalogue 
in force when he first entered the College or in any sub- 
sequent catalogue published while he is a student ; but 
the faculty reserves the right to make changes in cur- 
ricula and in regulations at any time when in its judg- 
ment such changes are for the best interests of the stu- 
dents and of the College. 



III. EXPENSES 

Day Students 

The fee for day students, i.e., those not living in one of 
the college dormitories, is $56.00 a quarter. 

Dormitory Students 

The fee for dormitory students is $84.00 a quarter. 
This fee covers tuition, instruction, room, laundry de- 
posit, admission to college entertainments, subscription to 
the college paper, and infirmary service for minor illness. 

Reservation Fee 

A reservation fee of $5.00 must accompany the appli- 
cation for admission from all students who wish to live 
in the dormitory. The fee is credited to the student's 
account, provided he enrolls in the quarter for which 
reservation is made. If he wishes to withdraw his appli- 
cation and notifies the College in writing at least two 
weeks before the opening of the quarter, the fee will be 
returned.

available to all students at moderate prices. Coupons in 
books of $5.00 are available for the convenience of stu- 
dents who wish to purchase them.

Transcript (after first) 1.00

Infirmary fee** 1.00 

Special students, i.e., day students who schedule not 
more than eight credit hours a quarter, will pay a fee of 
$4.00 a credit hour scheduled. 

These fees are subject to revision by the Board of 
Trustees of the College, and it reserves the right to re- 
vise them at any time it is found necessary or advisable 
to do so. 

To be exempt from the out-of-state fee : 

1. The parent or guardian of a student must be resi- 
dents of the State at the time of his registration, or 

2. The student must have established residence in the 
State at least six months before he entered the 
College. 

A resident student is construed to be one who actually 
lives in the State and not one who has merely moved into 
the State for the purpose of securing an education from 
one of the State Institutions. 

LATE REGISTRATION 

A student registering later than the date for his regu- 
lar registration must pay an additional fee of $3.00. If 
a student wishes to appeal from the late registration 



•"Charged day students not living In own homes. Gives infirmary service. 



General Expenses 11 

charge, he may file such an appeal in writing with the 
Registrar. Students will not be excused from paying the 
late registration fee unless delay was due to circum- 
stances clearly beyond the student's control. 

TEXTBOOKS 

Students are required to purchase their textbooks. 
For their convenience the College will maintain a deposi- 
tory where all necessary books may be purchased. 

WITHDRAWALS, REFUNDS, CREDITS 

Students who, for any reason, withdraw from the Col- 
lege before registration for the quarter is closed will 
have one-half of the fees for room and tuition refunded. 
Refund will be calculated from the date of official with- 
drawal from the College. 

A student desiring to withdraw from the College 
should do so with the consent of his parent or guardian 
and the approval of the Registrar. Students who with- 
draw without following this procedure are not eligible 
to re-enroll in the College. Furthermore, a student who 
withdraws without the permission of the Registrar re- 
ceives a grade of 5 on all courses for which he was regis- 
tered at the time of withdrawal. 

Credit — No degree, diploma, or certificate will be 
granted or a transcript of credits furnished a student un- 
til all financial obligations to the College, other than stu- 
dent loans, have been paid. 

All previously incurred expenses and accounts at the 
College must be fully paid or secured before a student 
may reenter at the beginning of any quarter. 



GRADUATE INSTRUCTION 

1. Purpose: The primary function of East Carolina 
College is to prepare teachers and school administrators 
for all types of public-school work. As the state certifi- 
cation requirements for teachers and administrators ad- 
vance, the College extends its curricula to prepare its 
students to meet the new requirements. Graduate in- 
struction is intended to provide an advanced program of 
study for North Carolina teachers and school adminis- 
trators and to enable them to meet the requirements for 
the graduate certificates issued by the State Department 
of Public Instruction. 

2. Administration : The administration and direction 
of graduate instruction is in charge of the Committee for 
the M.A. Degree and the Dean of Instruction. 

3. Admission to Graduate Instruction: Application 
for admission to graduate instruction must be made to 
the Dean of Instruction. Blanks for this purpose may be 
secured from the Registrar's office. 

To be admitted to graduate instruction, an applicant 
must hold a Bachelor's degree from this College or from 
some other institution of equal rank or lack not more 
than six quarter hours of work to complete the resident 
requirements for the Bachelor's degree, provided he is 
recommended for graduate standing by the director of 
his major department. He must also have met the under- 
graduate requirements for his major and minor fields 
and made not less than an average grade of "3" in all 
his undergraduate work. 

If the undergraduate work of an applicant does not 
show the completion of at least fifteen quarter hours in 
English, nine of which shall be Composition, and twenty- 
four quarter hours in a combination of Education and 
Psychology, such deficiencies shall be made up before the 
Master's degree will be conferred. 

Admission to graduate study is not equivalent to ad- 
mission to candidacy for the degree of Master of Arts. 



Curricula Requirements 13 

4. Transcripts. Graduate from other institutions must 
present an official transcript of all college work com- 
pleted. This transcript should be filed with the Registrar 
of the College before the first enrollment. 

5. General Information. Each graduate student 
should choose a major field and consult the director of 
that department with reference to the work to be done 
in that department. 

Courses numbered 300-399 followed by letter G indi- 
cate Senior-graduate courses and are open to seniors and 
graduate students only. 

Courses numbered 400 or above are open to graduate 
students only. 

6. Marks. Credit is given for graduate instruction 
only for marks "1," "2," and "3". 

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER 

OF ARTS 

1. At least one academic year must be spent on the 
campus of East Carolina College. The academic year 
must consist of three full quarters or a minimum of 
thirty-three weeks done within five consecutive years. 
All course requirements must also be completed within 
five consecutive years. A minimum of twelve quarter 
hours completed on the campus may be counted as a 
quarter's work, except that each student must carry a 
minimum load of twelve quarter hours at least one 
quarter. 

A maximum of nine quarter hours in any curriculum 
leading to the Master's degree may be taken in off- 
campus extension work given by East Carolina College. 

A graduate student may earn a maximum of nine 
quarter hours in another institution having equal stan- 
dards of graduate work, except that the maximum is 
reduced by the number of quarter hours the student has 
earned in off-campus extension courses at East Carolina 
College. For example, a student who has graduate credit 
for three quarter hours in extension work may not count 



14 East Carolina College 

more than six quarter hours of graduate work in another 
institution. Work done in another institution must be 
approved by the student's major adviser before the work 
is started. Except as stated in this regulation, graduate 
work may not be transferred from any other institution 
for credit toward the Master's degree. Equivalent grad- 
uate credit may be transferred to East Carolina College 
for the purpose of satisfying a specific curriculum re- 
quirement and thereby permitting the substitution of an 
elective course. 

2. Admission to Candidacy. Each student must make 
application to the Chairman of the Committee for the 
M.A. degree for admission to candidacy. A graduate stu- 
dent will not be admitted to candidacy for the Master's 
degree until he has completed satisfactorily at least six 
quarter hours, one half of which must be in the candi-
