FUND

A small loan fund was established by the Cl ass of 1927. This
fund has been enlarged by other Coll ege organizations, and is now
available to aid worthy students. It is hoped that it will be further
increased by other organizations. and by alumni. The fund is hel d
in trust by a Board of Directors made up of three alu mni and three
faculty members. Miss Elizabeth Morgan, of the alumni, is pres­
ident, .and Mr. Aaron J. Hoover, of the faculty, is secretary. All
contribu tions or gifts should be sent t o either of these persons.
Arrangements for a loan should be mad e with the secretary.
Students may obtain aid only duri ng the last half of thei r Col­
lege career. The committee, in granting loans, takes into considera­
tion scholarship, worthiness, and professional attitude.
Studen ts who cannot provide for themselves financially during
their first two years at the Colleg e should not plan to enter as there
are l imited opportunities at California for students to earn their way.

COMMENCEMENT

RELEASE OF CERTIFICATES

Alumni are urged to use this service, and those who have been
registered should keep their credentials up-to-date, especially if they
wish to advance themselves.

Certificates will be held by the Registrar until a Release Card
has been presented, officially signed by the supervising principal or
Students
superintendent of the district employing the teacher.
should obtain these cards from the Registrar's office, have them prop­
erly filled in, and return them to the College as soon as they have.
been elected to positions as teachers. This is done by the College to
aid students in their placement.
Teachers-in-service who complete degrees should be sure to
comply with this procedure immediately so that they may begin
teaching on their Provisional College Certificates, thereby receiving
experience credit toward making such certificates permanent.
TRANSCRIPTS OF CREDITS
One copy or transcript of credits earned at the College will be
issued free. A charge of $ 1.00 is made for a second and each sub­
sequent transcript. Official copies or transcripts of credits will be
sent only to the State Department of Public Instruction for use in
obtaining certificates or to an institution to which the credits are to
be transferred. Transcripts of credits are not sent either to the Stat{!
Department or Public Instruction or to other institutions unless a
written request is made by the students. All requests for transcripts
should be sent to the Registrar.
PLACEMENT SERVICE
The College maintains a placement office as part of its public
service. Its purpose is to aid students and graduates in obtaining
desirable positions as teachers and to assist school officials in locating
well-qualified teachers who fit the requirements of vacancies in the
schools of the College's service area.
All students are required to enroll with the placement office
when they complete their student teaching. Although the service
does not guarantee a position, records filed by registrants open op­
portunities that might not otherwise be available.
The office sends copies of credentials to prospective employers
either at the request of school officials or, if re'asonable assurance is
given of the existance of vacancies, at the suggestion of the regis­
trants.

43

Complete information about the placement office and its service
may be obtained in the office of the Director of the Laboratory School
and of Student Teaching where all r�cords are filed and the work
of the Placement Service is transacted.
COMMENCEMENT
Commencement exercises, at which time degrees are conferred,
are held al'lnually at the close of the second semester, usually the last
week in May. At these exercises all students who have completed
the required work for degrees from the summer of the year preceding
to the time of the commencement exercises constitute the graduating
class for that year. All students who complete degree requirements
within such a period are required to participate in all parts of the
exercises, including the wearing of cap and gown on the day that
degrees are conferred.
