Organization of the Graduate School

The Graduate Faculty consists of the Dean of The
Graduate School and all persons appointed thereto
by the President of the University. As the chief
University agency for the promotion of the ideals
of graduate study, it determines the policies of The
Graduate School and makes recommendations to
the University Senate and to the President, or to
other administrative officials as appropriate. All
rules affecting graduate work and the inauguration
of new graduate programs must be approved by the
Graduate Faculty.

Any proposed change in the rules of The Graduate
Faculty must be included in the agenda of the meet-
ing and circulated to the Graduate Faculty at least
10 days prior to the meeting at which it is to be
considered.

New Graduate Faculty members may be proposed
to the Dean of The Graduate School atany time by
the college deans and department chairmen con-
cerned, or in the case of persons not attached to a
college faculty, by the Vice President for Academic
Affairs of the University. Eligibility qualifications
are as follows:

l. The doctor’s degree or its equivalent in schol-
arly reputation.

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

3. Scholarly maturity and professional productiv~

ity as demonstrated by publications, editorial
services, research surveys, creative work, or
patents; and research in progress at the time of
appointment.

4. Definite interest in graduate work and the will-
ingness to participate in the graduate program.

Appointment to the Graduate Faculty is made by
the President of the University on nomination by the
Dean of The Graduate School after he/she and the
Graduate Council have studied the credentials sub-
mitted in support of the proposed members.

Associate members of the Graduate Faculty are
appointed by the Dean of The Graduate School upon
nomination by the Director of Graduate Studies. As-
sociate membership includes non-tenured assistant
professors who hold the doctorate, have been full-
time members of a faculty for at least one year,
and have initiated a significant research effort. it
includes, also, certain other faculty members ap-
pointed by the Dean. This membership may con—
tinue no more than five years. Associate members
are authorized to teach graduate courses, direct
masters’ theses, serve on and cochair doctoral com-
mittees, and attend and participate in Graduate

Faculty meetings. They do not have voting priv-
ileges in the Graduate Faculty.

Administrative officers assigning teaching and
other duties to members of the Graduate Faculty
who are taking an active part in the graduate pro-
gram (i.e., are heavily engaged in directing theses,
carrying on productive research, etc.) should make
appropriate reduction in the duties required of such
teachers.

The Role of the Dean

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/she presides over all meet-
ings of the Graduate Faculty and calls meetings of
this faculty whenever he/she thinks it advisable or
whenever requested to do so by one-fourth of the
membership. He/she makes recommendations to
the Graduate Faculty respecting the requirements
for advanced degrees, the regulations necessary to
insure a high standard of graduate work, and all
other aspects of the graduate program. He/she
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 ad-
ministers the graduate program in the interests of
efficient instruction and the highest attainment
possible on the part of each graduate student. He/
she is responsible for determining and certifying to
the Registrar candidates who have fulfilled require-
ments for advanced degrees.

The President, Vice President for Academic Af-
fairs, and the Dean of the Graduate School are
members ex officio of all committees of the Grad-
uate Faculty.

The Graduate Council

The Graduate Council is composed of 13 mem-
bers and the Dean of The Graduate School, who is
chairman. There are eight elected faculty repre-
sentatives and three faculty members appointed by
the Dean of The Graduate School. One of the
elected members is from the College of Agriculture,
two from the College of Arts and Sciences, one from
the College of Business and Economics, 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 col-
leges are elected by the Graduate Faculty members
in that college. Two graduate student members are
selected by the Council from a panel of four sub-
mitted by the Graduate and Professional Student

Association. The term of office of the elected and
appointed members is three years, and that of the
graduate students is one year. No member may
succeed himself/herself until three years have
elapsed since the completion of his/her 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/her execution of policies and regulations de-
termined by the Graduate Faculty. Specifically, the
Council:

l. Studies requests of departments relating to pro-
posed graduate programs.

2. Reviews existing programs and courses.

3. In cooperation with the Dean, initiates recom-
mendations to the Graduate Faculty. (This pro-
cedure is not intended to prevent a faculty mem—
ber from bringing any recommendation or re-
quest directly before the Graduate Faculty.)

The Graduate Council has 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
transaction of business.

Directors of Graduate Studies

A Director of Graduate Studies serves as adviser
to each student majoring in his/her area until the
student has a thesis director. The Director of Grad—
uate Studies then recommends that the thesis direc-
tor be appointed the student’s adviser or committee
chairman. In areas where theses are not required,
the Director of Graduate Studies is the adviser for all
students not writing theses. All student schedules
must be endorsed by the student’s adviser.

If it is desirable, a Director of Graduate Studies
may recommend that additional advisers in the area
be appointed. A Director of Graduate Studies 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 may be appointed.

The Dean of The Graduate School, with the ad-
vice 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 which
the University may be divided. (The logical unit for
an area is a department. By common consent, how-
ever, certain departments may be grouped into an
area; and in exceptional cases a department may
be divided into two or more areas.) The Directors
of Graduate Studies for the various areas are ap-
pointed by the Dean of The Graduate School.

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
recommendation concerning it to the Graduate Fac—
ulty.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

It is the responsibility of the student to inform
himself/herself concerning all regulations and pro-
cedures required by the course of study he/she is
pursuing. In no case will a regulation be waived or
an exception granted because a student pleads
ignorance of the regulation or asserts that he/she was
not informed of it by his/her adviser or other author-
ity. Therefore, the student should become familiar
with The Graduate School Bulletin, including (1) the
section presenting the requirements for the degree
which he/she plans to take, and (2) the offerings
and requirements of his/her major department.

The student should consult the Director of Grad-
uate Studies of the department in which he/she will
do his/her work concerning course requirements,
any deficiencies, the planning of a program, and
special .regulations. Departments may have degree
requirements that are not listed in the Bulletin.

It is to be noted that the Graduate Dean inter-
prets the Graduate Bulletin. Only the Graduate
Council may waive requirements stated in this
Bulletin.

Admission

An applicant for admission to the University
shall not be discriminated against because of race,
color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin,
age or beliefs.

Students seeking admission to the University of
Kentucky Graduate School must hold a baccalau-
reate degree from a fully accredited institution of
higher learning. A minimum undergraduate grade-
point average of 2.5 on the basis of 4.0 is required
by The Graduate School. Individual departments
may require a higher grade-point average.

All applicants for admission to degree programs
in The Graduate School must submit scores on the
verbal and quantitative portions of the Graduate
Record Examination. The College of Business and
Economics may substitute the Graduate Manage—
ment Admission Test for MBA, DBA and Ac-
counting students. The Medical College Admission
Test or the Dental College Admission Test may be
substituted with the approval of the program con-
cerned.
