Requisites For Admission

Applicants for admission to the first class at Rutgers will be examined on the following studies: Arithmetic, Algebra to Simple Equations, English Grammar, Latin Grammar, French, Modern Geography, Elements of History. During the period in which the College course is going into operation, arrangements have been made for a Provisional or Introductory Class, in which students who are defective in their preparation may review and complete these branches. After two or three years, however, this class will be discontinued, and all the preparatory studies will be finished in the last year of the Academic Department.

Terms

The price of tuition in the College, in the three undergraduate years is two hundred dollars per annum to students who pursue a full and regular course. In the Senior year it is two hundred and fifty dollars, including the graduation fee (which has heretofore been a separate charge), the expenses of Commencement and access to all the lectures. An annual charge of ten dollars is made for the incidental expenses of the Institution. There is no extra charge for Ancient or Modern Languages, Outline Drawing, use of the Library, Fuel, or Stationery.

The tuition and incidental fee are payable half-yearly, in advance, at the beginning of each term. The charge for the Introductory or Provisional year will be one hundred and seventy-five dollars. Students will be received at any time and charged from the date of entrance to the close of the year. No deduction is made for absences.

Painting and Higher Drawing, Instrumental Music, and special training in Vocal Music are extra branches pursued at additional rates. For conveying students to and from the College by stage an extra charge will be made, established by the proprietors of the College line of stages. In the case of a full-course student residing outside of the city, one-half the commutation rate charged by public conveyance will be allowed during the time of actual attendance.

In the lower Departments, the charges will be one hundred dollars per annum in the Preparatory course, and one hundred and fifty dollars in the Academic. The other arrangements of charges and commutation are the same as those in the College.
