instruction is given through four quarters, the summer quarter
being divided into two terms.
In addition to giving instruction to its student body, the Uni-
versity contributes to the welfare of the state through research,
experimentation, and public service. While 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 Exten-

The University of Kentucky began as a part of Kentucky Uni-
versity 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
learning, 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 legisla-
tive act.
ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY
Students are admitted to the University of Kentucky as fresh-
men; with advanced standing from other institutions; as special
students; and as auditors. Admission to certain colleges is also
governed by special regulations.
Applications for admission to the University should be made to
the Registrar on forms furnished by the Registrar’s Office. Certi-
. fied copies of high school credentials and of work done in other in-
stitutions should be submitted to the Registrar’s Office in advance
of the registration period. Failure to file credentials in time for
checking before the registration period will delay the student in
arranging his program. All admissions, including those to the
professional schools and the Graduate School must be passed on
by the Reg·istrar’s Office. Students who come to the University
without having had their admission approved, do so at their own
risk. The University reserves the right to refuse consideration
of applications not made before the beginning of the registration
period. Prior to the assignment of any new undergraduate stu-
dent to University classes, the student must take the University
classification tests.
Admission to the Freshmen Class
Applicants who are graduates of accredited high schools will
be admitted to the University on certificate, provided they have at
least fifteen units of acceptable high school work. A unit repre-
sents 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—live minutes in length, or the equivalent thereof. Double
  periods are required in shop, drawing, typewriting, and all other
gg courses requiring no out-of-class preparation. One unit is the
  minimum credit accepted in any foreign language, and one·half
{ unit the minirnurm in any other subject.
  ` While the University does not prescribe a pattern of work for
  admission, it is strongly recommended that at least ten of the
  units presented be chosen from the English studies, the social
‘; studies, mathematics, the foreign languages, and the laboratory
  sciences, and that within these ten units the student offer at least
  three units in English, one and one-half in algebra, and one in
  plane geometry. Should a student lack these courses as pre-
  requisites for any of his college work, he will be required to take
  them in college without credit, thus delaying his graduation. ‘
= Applicants who have graduated from unaccredited high schools
  and those not graduated from high school may be admitted as
  freshmen if, in addition to presenting the fifteen acceptable units,
4. they successfully pass the University classification examinations.
Q Admission to the University does not necessarily qualify a
3 · student for admission to a particular college. In every case the
student must meet the admission requirements of the college in
which he is to enroll.
Admission to Advanced Standing
Resident Students. A resident of Kentucky who applies for
admission with advanced standing is expected to present evidence
{ that he is in good standing in every respect in the institution last
‘· attended and in general is required to have maintained a standing
· ' of 1.0 in all previous college work. Where all circumstances seem
`, to warrant, the student may be admitted on probation when his
A standing is below 1.0. In no case, however, shall a student be ad-
` mitted whose record is such that he would have been dropped at
the University of Kentucky.
The University does not disregard at any time or under any
conditions college or university records in order to admit applicants
solely on the basis of their high school records.
A transfer student is allowed only as many advanced credits
as he can present quality points. Otherwise, work done at a fully
accredited college or university is recognized credit for credit.
In order to be classined as fully accredited, a college must be
a member of a regional accrediting association or it must be on
the approved list of the state university of the state in which it is
located. Advanced standing from an unaccredited college may
I be obtained at the University only by special subject examinations.
N0n—Resident Students. A non-resident who applies for ad-
mission with advanced standing must in all cases have maintained

 GENERAL INFORMATION 15
a standing of 1.0 in all previous college work. In other respects,
the requirements and conditions of transfer are the same as for
resident students.
Written applications for admission with advanced standing
should be submitted to the Registrar’s Office on forms furnished by
that office.
Admission as a Special Student
A graduate of another university or college may enter the Uni-
versity as a special student. Other persons may be admitted as
special students provided they are fully prepared to do the work
desired and provided they are at least twenty-one years of age.*
Before a special student can become a candidate for a degree
he must have his status changed to that of a regular student. This
may be done in one of two ways:
1. Satisfying the requirements for admission to the freshman i
class.
2. Completing in residence one hundred quarter hours of
credit with a standing of at least 1.5 in all work attempted.
A special student is eligible to take any course for which he has
satisfied the prerequisites except one numbered 200 or above.
Admission as an Auditor
By payment of the required fees any person may be admitted
to a class or classes as an auditor. A student regularly enrolled in
any college must apply to the Dean of the College in which he is
registered in order to be an auditor. Other persons should apply
to the Registrar’s Office for admission. No credit can be given for
a class audited, nor is the student permitted an examination for
credit. No instructor is authorized to admit an auditor to any of
his classes except on presentation of an auditor’s card from the
Registrar’s Office.

i cant shall include one unit in Plane Geometry, one-half unit in

l g the freshman year.
  College of Law. An applicant for admission to the College of
i Law must offer ninety quarter hours completed in residence in col-
  leges other than Law, nine of which must be in English and not
  more than nine of which may be in physical education, military
  science, or other "non-theory" courses. A standing of 1.0 is the
Q minimum qualitative requirement, but in other than exceptional
`Q cases an applicant will not be accepted unless he has maintained a
§ standing of 1.3 on all previous work. While there is no prescribed ·
* pre-law curriculum, the applicant’s record is evaluated in terms of
-, - its relationship to the study of law, and in terms of the require-
{ ments of the Association of American Law Schools.
_; College of Education. Admission to the freshman class of the
— College of Education is limited to students rated in the upper
i three-fourths bn the University placement tests. In order to trans-

X The Graduate School. A student may be admitted to the Grad-
uate School upon evidence of having completed the requirements
- for graduation from a fully accredited institution of higher learn-
ing and an official transcript of undergraduate courses, together
with a written application. These should be sent to the Registrar’s
Office. The application form may be obtained from that office.
However, such admission does not obligate the University to accept
all credit granted by the undergraduate school. When full credit
is not granted, the student will be required to do more than the
normal amount of work to complete a graduate degree. Applica-
tions from graduates of institutions not fully accredited will be
individually evaluated. However, a student from such a school is
encouraged to secure a bachelor’s degree from a fully accredited
institution before applying.
