DEGREES AND TITLE OFFERED BY THE ROYAL UNIVERSITYOF SCIR-HAFOC

RUSH offers four (4) degrees: Auditor Artis, Lector Artis, RAC (Royal Academy of Children) Auditor, and RAC Lector; plus honorary titles for instructors: Magister and Snoter. These RUSH degrees and honors should not be confused with the degrees conferred by modern academic institutions. RUSH also confers the honorary title of Fellow upon those individuals who have provided extraordinary service to RUSH.

The Auditor and Lector degree programs suggest a course of study within the Society of Creative Anachronism for gentles seeking a broader understanding of the Society and the times it seeks to recreate. A certain number of class hours in each of several subject areas is required to attain each degree.

A gentle need not pursue a degree to fully participate in RUSH. Each student is free to choose which classes to take. Attainment of a RUSH degree is highly applauded by the RUSH staff. However, as the degree is not an official Kingdom level award, it has no bearing on an individual's ranking in the Kingdom's Order of Precedence

If you think you may qualify for a RUSH degree and/or honor and would like to be so recognized, it is up to you to let the RUSH Board know. Specifically - contact the Registrar and ask to have a transcript printed. Review the transcript for errors or omissions, and check it against the degree requirements. The Chancellor and Registrar will determine if you are eligible.

Waiving of Prerequisite Class Work

For classes with prerequisites, the student with experience/knowledge can petition the instructor to waive the prerequisite requirement. In this case, no credit shall be awarded for the classes not taken; the only credit hours given will be those for the class actually attended.

NON-SESSION CREDITS

Participation in educational events in Calontir outside the RUSH structure, (e.g. Scribes' Guild classes) may be admitted for RUSH credit. Students submit class name, time and place where class was held, the instructor's Society and modern names, plus the student's Society and modem name and address. For out-of-kingdom events, an event flyer is highly recommended. A form is available from any Regent or on the website.

RUSH also welcomes any transfer credits acquired in another Society-based learning institution. The student will need to submit a printed transcript from the other institution. The Chancellor and Registrar shall review all such requests and grant credit as appropriate.
