Organization of the Graduate School

TirE GRADUATE FACULTY consists of the Dean of the Graduate School
and all persons appointed thereto by the President of the University in I
the manner set forth below. As the chief University agency for thei
promotion of the ideals of graduate study, it determines the policies off
the Graduate School and makes recommendations to the University"
Faculty on such matters as require the approval of that body, and it may 3
make recommendations on other matters to the President, or to other
administrative ofﬁcials. All rules affecting graduate work and the inaugu. ‘
ration of new graduate majors must be approved by the Graduate Faculty. i

New Graduate Faculty members may be proposed to the Dean of i
the Graduate School at any time by the college deans and department
heads concerned, or in the case of persons not attached to a college
faculty, by the Executive Vice-President of the University. Eligibility
qualiﬁcations are as follows: 1‘

l The doctor’s degree or its equivalent in scholarly reputation.

The rank of assistant professor (or equivalent), or higher.

Scholarly maturity and professional productivity as demonstrated,

by publications, editorial services, research surveys, creative work:

or patents; and research in progress at the time of proposal.

-t. Deﬁnite interest in graduate work and the willingness to pill-i
ticipatc in the graduate program. 3

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 Faculty 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
annually to the President of the University on the work of the Graduate
School and its needs.

The President and the Dean of the Graduate School are members
cx-oﬂicio of all committees of the Graduate Faculty.

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
Agriculture and Home Economics, two from the College of Arts and
Sciences, one from the College of Commerce, two from the College of
Education, one from the College of Engineering, and one from the
College of Medicine. The member or members from each of these
colleges are elected by the Graduate Faculty members in that college.
The term of ofﬁce of the elected and appointed members is three years,
and no 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

t 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.

10 / GRADUATE SCHOOL

3. In cooperation with the Dean, initiates recommendations to the

Graduate Faculty. (This procedure is not intended to prevents
faculty member from bringing any recommendation or request 1
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 studr
serves as adviser to each student majoring in his area until the student
has a thesis director. The director of graduate study then recommends
that this thesis director be appointed the student's adviser or committee
chairman. In areas where theses are not required, the director of
graduate study is the adviser for all students not writing theses. All
student classiﬁcation schedules must be endorsed by the student’s adviser.

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

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

The Dean of the Graduate School, with the advice of the college
dean(s) and the approval of the President, may recommend to the
Graduate Faculty the areas of graduate study and research into whichi
the University may be divided. (The logical unit for an area isa‘
department. By common consent, however, certain departments mayhf.
area; and in exceptional cases a department may 116
divided into two or more areas.) The Directors of Graduate Study for?
the various areas are recommended to the President of the University
by the Dean of the Graduate School after he has conferred with the;
respective graduate staffs and college cleans of the areas concerned. 1

grouped into an

ESTABLISHMENT AND MODIFICATION OF GRADUATE PROGRAMS. Art
area which wishes to establish a new graduate program or modify ﬂﬂ‘l
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 degttCS
originates in the Graduate Faculty, and the Graduate Faculty makes Iii
recommendations to the University Faculty. -

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY / 11

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
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
lllgher 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.

12 / GRADUATE SCHOOL

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 bet
approved for full graduate standing by the department in which hei
intends to major and by the Graduate School. Application should be|
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 in
which the degree is sought.

To be admitted to full graduate standing, a student (in addition to
meeting the admission requirements) must have scores on the Graduatej
Record Examination satisfactory to the department concerned and to l
the Dean of the Graduate School, and a B average or higher on altj
graduate work completed at the University of Kentucky. 1

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

A senior in the University of Kentucky lacking no more than sit
credit hours for graduation and having an undergraduate average otat
least 2.5 may register in the Graduate School with the consent of his‘
college dean and the Dean of the Graduate School. Approval of the;
appropriate director of graduate study is required if the student is tobc
an applicant for a degree. The total load of such a student may not?
exceed twelve credit hours. The graduate residence assigned is one andi
one—half weeks for each credit hour of graduate work beyond the six 01
fewer credit hours needed to complete undergraduate requirements. The‘
incidental fee is that of a full—time student in the school in which anE
than half of the work is taken. In cases where the load is evenly dividtdl
between the schools, the larger fee is assessed. Requirements for the
undergraduate degree must be completed during the semester in whichr
the student is allowed to register for part—time graduate work. Studeﬂb'i
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 petim“
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-
majors 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 ofﬁcial grades of graduate students are recorded in the ofﬁce of
the Registrar. The Registrar provides ofﬁcial transcripts on the same
basis as for undergraduate students. Also, he provides the Dean
with the grades of all students in order that the Dean may be able to
advise students concerning their programs.

The grading of graduate students is done according to the following
scale:

A—high achievement -'l grade points per credit
B—satisfactory achievement 3 grade points per credit

—minimum passing grade 2 grade points per credit
E-failure 0 grade points per credit
I—iucomplete see explanation below

S—satisfactory see explanation below

14- / GRADUATE SCHOOL

A grade of I (incomplete) may be assigned to a graduate Student
if a part of the work of a course remains undone and there is a reasonable
possibility that a passing grade will result from completion of the work ,
N0 student may graduate with an I on his record without the permission t
of his adviser and the approval of the Dean of the Graduate School.

A grade of S (satisfactory work in progress) may be recorded for
students in graduate courses which carry no credit; and in graduate
seminars, independent work courses, and research courses which extend
beyond the normal limits of a semester or summer term. The grade may
not be given to a student in a course carrying credit if the student has

done unsatisfactory work or if he has failed to do a reasonable amount ,
bstantially continuous in its progress,

of work. The project must be su

full—term courses and a short course, may not be taken simultaneously.
A short course may not carry credit greater than the number of weeks
during which it is offered.

“RESIDENCE” DEFINED

One of the requirements to be met by a candidate for an advanced
degree is that of residence. Meeting this requirement does not, however,
qualify a candidate for a degree. A longer time may be required to meet
other requirements.

Full-time residence ( 18 weeks) requires a minimum of 9 credit hours
of graduate course work, or the equivalent in thesis research during the
regular academic term. In the summer session full—time residence (9
weeks) requires a minimum of 6 credit hours. Part—time residence is
computed on the basis of one and one—half weeks of residence for each
credit hour earned, except for short courses of less than eight weeks, in
which case the number of residence credits may not exceed the actual
number of weeks involved. If a full—time student becomes a part—time
student by failing courses or dropping courses, he receives one and one—
half weeks of residence per credit hour in courses completed with a
satisfactory grade.

The summer school student is assigned full residence (9 weeks)
provided he is taking courses which together require residence for the full
eight weeks and provided he earns a minimum of six credit hours,
whether in short courses alone or in a combination of short and full—term
courses.

The Registrar makes the computations for short courses and recom—
mends to the Graduate Ofﬁce the amount of residence earned. The
ﬁnal evaluation of residence, as well as of course and other requirements,
rests with the Dean of the Graduate School.

A master’s Candidate working on his thesis and in need of residence
credit may register for a maximum of nine weeks of residence in course
No. 768 in the appropriate department.

A doctoral candidate working on his thesis and in need of residence
