Introductory Statement

THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY began offering graduate work in 1870,
and awarding graduate degrees in 1876, although the Graduate School as
a distinct unit was not organized until 1912.

The Graduate School is concerned with advanced study and research
carried on by the faculty and students of all colleges and departments.
Under‘it the total graduate resources of the University are merged in
order to promote the achievement of knowledge in an atmosphere of

free and lively inquiry.

Graduate work is offered in all colleges in the University. Directors
of graduate study in the various subjects are listed in this bulletin just

before the list of courses.

Bering doctorate, have been full-time members of the faculty for at least one
mistry, year, and have initiated a significant research effort. This membership
merce1 may continue no more than five years. Associate members are authorized
'rench to teach graduate courses, direct masters’ theses, serve on and co—chair
eering doctoral committees, and attend and participate in Graduate Faculty
Physi. meetings. They do not have voting privileges in the Graduate Faculty.

erinary bers of the Graduate Faculty who are taking an active part in the graduate
'aduati program(i.e., are heavily engaged in directing theses, carrying on pro-
ductive research, etc.) should make appropriate reduction in the duties
required of such teachers.

THE DEAN AND HIS OFFICE. The Dean of the Graduate School is
charged with the administration of the policies adopted by the Graduate
Faculty and the University Senate relating to graduate studies. He
presides over all meetings of the Graduate Faculty and calls meetings
of this faculty whenever he thinks it advisable or whenever requested
to do so by one fourth of the membership. He makes recommendations
to the Graduate Faculty respecting the requirements for advanced
degrees, the regulations necessary to insure a high standard of graduate
work, the departments of colleges authorized to offer courses leading
to graduate degrees, and all other aspects of the graduate program. He
appoints a committee for each graduate student, arranges for final
examinations, advises students with regard to their studies and the
requirements of the Graduate School, and in all other ways administers
the graduate program in the interests of efficient instruction and the
highest attainment possible on the part of each graduate student. He
is responsible for determining and certifying to the Registrar candidates
who have fulfilled requirements for advanced degrees, and he reports
1. annually to the President of the University on the work of the Graduate
School and its needs.

11 THE GRADUATE COUNCIL IS composed of eleven members and the

Dean of the Graduate School, who is chairman. There are eight elected
representatives and three members appointed by the Dean of the Grad—
uate School. One of the elected members is from the College of
Ldenti Agriculture, two from the College of Arts and Sciences, one from the
)0] all College of Business and Economics, two from the College of Education,
tittedi one from the College of Engineering, and one from the College of

Medicine. The member or members from each of these colleges are

member may succeed himself until three years have elapsed since the
completion of his last term.

The Graduate Council approves or disapproves proposals concerning
courses offered for graduate credit, and advises and lends assistance to the
Dean in his execution of policies and regulations determined by the
Graduate Faculty. Specifically, the Council . . .

1. Studies requests of departments relating to proposed graduate
programs.

2. Reviews existing programs and courses.

3. In cooperation with the Dean, initiates recommendations to the
Graduate Faculty. (This procedure is not intended to preventa
faculty member from bringing any recommendation or request
directly before the Graduate Faculty.)

The Graduate Council has only such authority as is herein granted
or such as the Dean or the Graduate Faculty may delegate to it. A
majority of the Graduate Council constitutes a quorum for the trans.
action of business.

DIRECTORS OF GRADUATE STUDY. A director of graduate study
serves as adviser to each student majoring in his area until the studenl
has a thesis director. The director of graduate study then recommend!
that this thesis director be appointed the student’s adviser or committee
chairman. In areas where theses are not required, the director 0|
graduate study is the adviser for all students“ not writing theses. Al
student classification schedules must be endorsed by the student’s adviser

If it is desirable, a director of graduate study may recommend thal
additional advisers in the area be appointed. A director of graduafl
study who is to be absent from the University for as long as a semesta
must call this fact to the attention of the Dean so that a substitute ma}
be appointed.

Directors of graduate study make annual reports to the Dean of tht
Graduate School on the progress and needs of graduate work in theil
areas in time to permit the Dean to use this information in his annui
report to the President of the University.

The Dean of the Graduate School, with the advice of the collegl
dean(s) and the approval of the President, may recommend to tht
Graduate Faculty the areas of graduate study and research into whicl
the University may be divided. (The logical unit for an area isi
department. By common consent, however, certain departments malel
grouped into an area; and in exceptional cases a department may]?
divided into two or more areas.) The Directors of Graduate Study lo
the various areas are recommended to the President of the Universil:

by the Dean of the Graduate School after he has conferred with the
respective graduate staffs and college deans of the areas concerned.

ESTABLISHMENT AND MODIFICATION OF GRADUATE PROGRAMS. An
area which wishes to establish a new graduate program or modify an
existing one must submit its program to the Graduate Council, which
will make recommendations concerning it to the Graduate Faculty.

HONORARY DEGREES. The selection of candidates for honorary degrees
originates in the Graduate Faculty, and the Graduate Faculty makes its
recommendations to the University Senate.-

Honorary degrees are normally conferred at the May Commence-
ment, but may be conferred at other times with the approval of the
Graduate Faculty. Recipients must be present in order to receive
honorary degrees.

Admission

A student who is a graduate of a fully accredited institution of
higher learning and has an undergraduate grade—point standing of 2.5
on a basis of 4.0 may apply for admission to the Graduate School by
submitting to the Graduate Admissions Office two official transcripts of
all college courses and a written. application at least a month before
anticipated entrance. Application blanks may be obtained from the
Admissions Office of the Graduate School. A student with a grade—point
average of less than 2.5, or a graduate of a non-accredited institution,
may be admitted only after the Graduate Record Examination or other
evidence acceptable to the Dean of the Graduate School, and to the
Department, indicate that he is capable of doing satisfactory graduate
work. Individual departments may establish higher requirements.

It should be clearly understood that a graduate student may not be
able to begin immediately a full graduate program leading to the degree
he desires. It may be necessary for him to demonstrate his ability to
write accurate and effective English or he may have to satisfy certain
prerequisites which he omitted in his undergraduate curriculum. De-
ficiencies are determined by the department in which the major work
is to be done. Ordinarily, a graduate student may begin a full program
in any field in which he has a balanced undergraduate major or its
equivalent.

Admission to the Graduate School entitles a student to take such
courses as he desires, provided he has the necessary prerequisites. How—
ever, admission does not automatically make a student a candidate for
a graduate degree.

Attendance in the Graduate School at the University of Kentucky is
not a right. It is a privilege which may be withdrawn by the University

 

  

 

 

 

12 / GRADUATE SCHOOL

or any area of graduate study if it is deemed necessary by the Dean
of the Graduate School in order to safeguard the University’s standards
of scholarship and character.

ADVANCED DEGREES FOR FACULTY MEMBERS

Members of the faculty of the University of Kentucky having a rank
higher than that of instructor may not be considered as candidates for
advanced degrees from this institution. They may take graduate courses.
but these may not apply toward a degree from the University.

THE GRADUATE RECORD EXAMINATION

All students working for graduate degrees must take the Graduate
Record Examination (the Aptitude Test, and the Advanced Test in the
major subject). This must be done no later than the first term of graduate
work. (See the calendar at the front of this bulletin.)

APPLICATION FOR FULL GRADUATE STANDING

A graduate student desiring to earn a graduate degree must bt
approved for full graduate standing by the department in which ht
intends to major and by the Graduate School. Application should b:
made as soon as scores on the Graduate Record Examination are avail
able, and in any case prior to the beginning of the semester or term it
which the degree is sought.

To be admitted to full graduate standing, at student (in addition to
meeting the admission requirements) must have scores on the Graduatt
Record Examination satisfactory to the department concerned and It
the Dean of the Graduate School, and a B average or higher on al
graduate work completed at the University of Kentucky.

Graduate work taken before a student is admitted to full graduatt
standing will be evaluated by the Director of Graduate Study in th
major area and by the Dean of the Graduate School at the time thl
application for full graduate standing is considered.

GRADUATING SENIORS AS PART~TIME GRADUATE STUDENTS

A senior in the University of Kentucky lacking no more than sl
credit hours for graduation and having an undergraduate average ofa
least 2.5 may register in the Graduate School with the consent of hi
college dean and the Dean of the Graduate School. Approval of th
appropriate director of graduate study is required if the student is toll
an applicant for a degree. The total load of such a student may 110
exceed twelve credit hours. Graduate credit will be allowed for ead

to complete undergraduate requirements. The incidental fee is that of
a full-time student in the school in which more than half of the work
is taken. In cases where the load is evenly divided between the schools,
the larger fee is assessed. Requirements for the undergraduate degree
must be completed during the semester in which the student is allowed
to register for part—time graduate work. Students desiring to enroll in
the Graduate School under these conditions must fill out in duplicate a
petition listing the course or courses to be taken in order to complete their
undergraduate requirements. The petition must be approved by both
deans concerned.

General Requirements for All Advanced Degrees

COURSES AND GRADES

All courses numbered 500 through 799 may be counted for credit
toward a graduate degree provided they are approved as an appropriate
part of the student’s graduate program by his graduate adviser or com-
mittee. Courses numbered 400 to 499 carry graduate credit for non—
maiors only. An over-all average of B on all work taken as a graduate
student, as well as a B average on all work carrying graduate credit, must
be attained before an advanced degree may be awarded. All work is
to be counted and none of it may be omitted in computing the average
except those grades in courses which do not give graduate credit may
be omitted from a student’s average by the Dean of the Graduate
School on recommendation of the student’s adviser. D grades are not
given to graduate students. An “incomplete” (1), unless the Dean of
the Graduate School grants an extension of time, must be removed
within one calendar year after the close of the term in which the I is
assigned if the student is to receive credit.

DROPPING OF COURSES

During the first ten class days of the term a graduate student may
drop a regular course without a grade, provided he has the approval of
his instructor, his director of graduate study, and the Dean. Regular
courses may not be dropped later in the term without the assignment
of a grade: W if a student withdraws passing, E if he is failing. However,
only under very special circumstances may he be allowed to withdraw
from a class within two weeks of the final examination period.

GRADES

The oflicial grades of graduate students are recorded in the office of
the Registrar. The Registrar provides official transcripts on the same

ACADEMIC LOAD

The total term load of a student is the sum of all credits and credit
equivalents being carried. The normal load of a graduate student during
any semester is twelve credit hours or equivalent and under no circum-
stances may it exceed fifteen credit hours or equivalent. In the summer
session the normal load is six credit hours and the maximum nine.
Students satisfactorily completing in residence 9 course credits, or
equivalent, of graduate level work during a semester, or 6 course credits,
or equivalent, during a summer term are classified as full—time or full—
residence students. Those completing less than these amounts are
classified as part—time or part—residence students.

A full-residence student who falls below the minimum full-residence
equivalent as the result of failing or dropping one or more courses is
reclassified as a part—time or part-residence student for that term.

A master’s candidate working on his thesis may register for up to
the equivalent of 6 course credits by signing for course 768 in the
appropriate department and indicating the desired credit equivalent in
parentheses on the registration card.

A doctoral candidate working on his dissertation may register for
up to the equivalent of 12 credits by signing for course 769 in the
appropriate department and indicating the desired credit equivalent in
parentheses on the registration card.

Graduate students serving in the University as assistants or part-time
instructors should register for less than the normal load, as determined
by their advisers. Persons holding full-time working or professional
assignments, whether employed by the University or not, may not
take for graduate credit toward a degree in any single semester or
term more than 5 credit hours. A student may petition for a waiver
of this rule if he' meets the following conditions: (1) has satisfactorily
completed six credit hours of graduate work; (2) has attained higher
than national average scores on the aptitude and advanced tests of the
Graduate Record Examination; (3) and has appropriate employment
facilities and conditions.

SHORT COURSES: WEEKLY COURSES

Short courses are defined as courses of less than a term in length;
weekly courses are courses of more than one credit that meet only once
a week. A short course may not carry credits greater than the number
of weeks during which it is offered. Two short courses of 4 weeks or
less or two full—term courses and a short course may not be taken
Simultaneously. A total graduate program may not be made up of
