2. All graduate students are required to register and file a<br />
program card in the Registrar's <strong>of</strong>fice at the beginning <strong>of</strong> each<br />
term <strong>of</strong> residence whether they are attending regular courses <strong>of</strong><br />
study, or only carrying on research or independent reading, or<br />
writing a thesis or other dissertation.<br />
S. Before registering the graduate student should consult with<br />
members <strong>of</strong> the department in which he is taking his major work<br />
to determine the studies which he can pursue to the best advantage.<br />
4. A student will not receive credit for a course unless he is<br />
properly registered, and at the first meeting <strong>of</strong> each class should<br />
furnish the instructor with a regular assignment card for the<br />
course, obtained from the Registrar's <strong>of</strong>fice.<br />
5. One term <strong>of</strong> residence shall consist <strong>of</strong> one term's work <strong>of</strong><br />
not less than 45 units in which a passing grade is recorded. If<br />
less than 45 units are successfully carried the residence will be<br />
regarded as shortened in the same ratio, but the completion <strong>of</strong> a<br />
larger number <strong>of</strong> units in anyone term will not be regarded as<br />
increasing the residence. Students who are permitted to carry<br />
on research during the summer will be allowed credit therefor.<br />
The student himself is charged with the responsibility <strong>of</strong> making<br />
certain that all grades have been recorded to which he is entitled.<br />
6. The number <strong>of</strong> units allowed for a course <strong>of</strong> study or for<br />
research is figured on the basis that one unit corresponds roughly<br />
to one hour a week <strong>of</strong> work in the laboratory throughout the<br />
term, or a somewhat shorter number <strong>of</strong> hours <strong>of</strong> intensive study.<br />
7. In registering for research, students should indicate on<br />
their program card the name <strong>of</strong> the instructor in charge, and<br />
should consult with him to determine the number <strong>of</strong> units to<br />
which the proposed work corresponds. At the end <strong>of</strong> the term<br />
the instructor in charge shall decrease the number <strong>of</strong> units for<br />
which credit is given, in case he feels that the progress <strong>of</strong> the<br />
research does not justify the full number originally registered.<br />
8. Graduate students who are devoting their whole time to
