CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION
The work of each semester is, as far as possible, complete within
itself. A student may, therefore, enter at the beginning of any semester
and do the full amount of work for the semester.

least sixteen years of age and be of good moral character. He must
pledge himself not to encourage or participate in hazing or class

be mailed to the Registrar, Abilene Christian College, Abilene, Texas,

record books to re-register. Duplicates cannot be made during registration,
nor can the permanent records be consulted.
