 ORIGIN, PURPOSES, AND ACCREDITATION
The University of Kentucky, a state-supported institution, is located at
Lexington, an urban community of over 100,000 population. The Board of
Trustees includes the Governor, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and
the Commissioner of Agriculture, ex oilicio, and twelve members appointed by
the Governor, three of whom are alunmi of the University. The University is
one of a number of institutions known as land-grant colleges, which were
established by the Morrill Act of 1862, and which have continued to receive
federal assistance under provisions of this and subsequent laws relating to
the teaching of agriculture and the mechanic arts and the provision of agri-
cultural experiment stations and extension services in agriculture and home
economics.
The University of Kentucky began as a part of Kentucky University under
a cooperative plan authorized by the legislature in 1865. The purpose of this
plan was to unite sectarian and public education under one organization. This
experiment was tried for a number of years. In the meantime, the federal funds
authorized under the Morrill Act were used to develop agriculture and mechanic
arts in Kentucky University. In 1878, when the people of Kentucky decided to
establish a state institution of higher leaming, the College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts was separated from Kentucky University and reestablished on
land given by the City of Lexington and the County of Fayette. Thirty years
later the legislature changed the name of the institution to the State University
of Kentucky, and gave it additional financial support. In 1916 the name was
again changed, this time to the present title, and additional maintenance was
arranged by legislative act.
The major function of the University is that of instruction. For the per-
formance of this function it is organized into the College of Arts and Sciences,
the College of Agriculture and Home Economics, the College of Engineering,
the College of Law, the College of Education, the College of Commerce, the
College of Pharmacy, the College of Medicine, the College of Nursing, the
Graduate School, and Extended Programs.
In addition to giving instruction to its student body, the University con-
tributes to the welfare of the state through research, experimentation, and pub-
lic service. VVhile all departments make important contributions along these
lines, certain divisions and bureaus have been established specifically for these
purposes. Included in this group are the Experiment Station and the Extension
Division of the College of Agriculture and Home Economics, the Bureau of
Business Research, the Bureau of Government Research, the Bureau of School
Service, the University and Educational Archives, the University Placement
Service, the Radio Studios, the Home Study Program, the Extension
Class Program, the Evening Class Program, the University Centers, Com-
munity Services, the Audio Visual Services, the Department of Public Relations,
the Engineering Experiment Station, the Child Guidance Service, the Industrial
Psychological Service, the Social Research Consultation Service. The Medical
Center to includc the University Hospital and related services, the Bureau of
Community Service, and \Vorkshops and Conferences.
The University of Kentucky is a member of the Southern Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools and the Kentucky Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools. It is accredited in its respective colleges or departments by
the Association of American Law Schools, the American Bar Association, the
American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, the American Associa-

ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY
Students are admitted to the University of Kentucky as freshmen, as stu-
dents with advanced standing from other institutions, as graduate students, as
special students, as non-degree students, and as auditors. Admission to certain
p colleges is governed by special regulations.
‘ Applications for admission to the University should be made to the Uni-
versity Registrar on forms furnished by the Registra.r’s Oflice. In order for the
1 application to be considered these forms must be received in the Registrafs
1 Ofhce at least 30 days prior to the opening of the term in which the student
‘ desires to enroll. In addition to the application form, oilicial transcripts of high
school credits and of work done in other colleges or universities should be sub-
` mitted before the dates given above. All admissions, including those to the
professional schools and the Graduate School, must be passed on by the
i Registrar°s Office.
Applications for re-admission must be filed by former students who have _
been registered elsewhere since registration at the University of Kentucky.
Applications for re-admission must also be filed by former students who have
not been registered at the University during the previous two consecutive
semesters except that this shall not apply to students who enroll only in con-
` secutive summer terms.
Applications for re-admission must be supported by transcripts of all college
work attempted elsewhere.
Admission to the Freshman Class
Admission to the University does not necessarily qualify a student for ad-
mission to a particular college. In every case the student must meet the ad-
mission requirements of the college in which he is to enroll.
Resident students
Applicants who are graduates of accredited high schools will be admitted
to the University on certificate, provided they have at least fifteen units of ac-
ceptable high school work. A unit represents the study of any subject for a
school year of at least thirty-two weeks, with five recitation periods a week,
each of at least forty-five minutes in length, or the equivalent thereof. Double
periods are required in shop, drawing, typewriting, and all other courses which
demand no out-of-class preparation. One unit is the minimum credit accepted
in any foreign language, and one-half unit the minimum in any other subiect.
While the University does not prescribe a pattem of work for admission,
it recommends that at least ten of the units presented be chosen from English,
the social studies, mathematics, the foreign languages, and the laboratory
sciences, and that within these ten units the student oifer at least three units
in English, one and one-half in algebra, and one in plane geometry. Should a

ja- student lack these courses as prerequisites for any of his college work, he will be
,0ls required to take them in college without credit, thus delaying his graduation.
xm Applicants who have graduated from unaccredited high schools and those
the not graduated from high school may be admitted as freshmen if, in addition
of to presenting the fifteen acceptable units, they successfully pass the University
eia- classification examinations.
of Non-resident students
Any student who graduates in the lower one-half of his high-school class
may be refused admission. Students who fall in this category may qualify for
admission by passing the University classification examination.
;u—
as Admission to Advanced Standing
nn The applicant for admission must present evidence that he is in good
_ standing in every respect in the institution he last attended. At no time shall
u' college or university records be disregarded to admit an applicant solely on the
llc basis of his high school records. He must have maintained a grade point aver-
fs age of 2.0, or an average of C, in all previous college work. Only credits
nt earned with a grade of C or higher will be accepted.
gh VVork done at a fully accredited college or university is recognized credit
b' hour for credit hour. In order to be classified as fully accredited, a college
lc must be a member of a regional accrediting association. Advanced standing
lc from an unaccredited college may be obtained by special subject examinations.
Credit hours accepted from junior colleges will be limited to a maximum
"C . of 67.
E; Written applications for admission with advanced standing should be
submitted to the Registrar’s Oflice on fomis furnished by that oflice.

[ graduate college in either of two ways:
I; 1. Satisfying the entrance requirements for admission to the freshman class.
2. Completing in residence sixty-seven credit hours with a grade point
average of at least 2.5 in all work attempted

No one may enroll as a non-degree student in the University for more than
` two years except by special permission of the dean of the college in which he is
' registered.
; Non-degree students may become degree students after meeting regular
_ admission requirements; however, work taken as a non-degree student will
’ not, in itself, qualify a person for admission as a degree student. Only credit

degree.
