II. TUITION FEES
Beginning with the Fall Term, 1941, the tultlon charge for all
students newly registering for graduate work will be $360 per year,
payable in three equal installments of $120 at the beginning of each
term. Graduate students who cannot devote full time to their studies
are allowed to register only under special circumstances. Students
desiring permission to register for less than 33 units should petition
therefor on a blank to be obtained from the Registrar. If such
reduced registration is permitted, the tuition will be at the rate of
$90 a term for 25 to 32 units, and at the rate of $3.60 per unit for
less than 25 units, with a minimum of $36 a term. If the courses
registered for do not correspond to the full educational facilities made
available to the student, additional tuition will be charged.
Graduate students who have been regularly registered for the full
academic year 1940-41 will continue at the tuition rate of $300 per
year or $100 per term as long as they are in continuous attendance
and working toward a definite degree. For any such students who
receive permission to register for less than the normal program of
study, the following tuition rates will be charged: 25 to 32 units,
$75 per term; less than 25 units, $3 per unit per term, with a minimum
of $ 3 0 per term.
The payment of tuition by graduate students is required (a) without
reference to the character of the work of the student, which may
consist in the prosecution of research, in independent reading, or in
the writing of a thesis or other dissertation, as well as in attendance
at regular classes; (b) without reference to the number of terms in
which the student has already been in residence; and (c) without
reference to the status of the student as an appointee of the Institute,
