To be eligible for a degree at any commencement, the student must Iile
with the Registrar an application for such degree at least four weeks prior to
the commencement date. The University requires the student to use his full
and proper name in registering, in applying for a degree, and in other similar
circumstances. The institution accepts no responsibility for difhculties arising
from a student’s failure to comply with this requirement.
Regardless of the length of time the student has attended the University,
a minimum of thirty of the last thirty-six credits presented for the degree must
be completed in residence at the University. With respect to graduation re-
quirements for veterans, this rule may be waived, provided that the total
previous residence credit has been not less than thirty credits.
Not more than thirty-two of the credits required for an undergraduate
degree may be gained by extension (including correspondence courses), special
examination, or both. A student may not satisfy in excess of one-half the re-
quirements for a major by extension, special examination, or both.
