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 in
the manner set forth below. As the chief University agency for the
promotion of the ideals of graduate study, it determines the policies ol
the Graduate School and makes recommendations to the University
Faculty on such matters as require the approval of that body, and it may
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.
New Graduate Faculty members may be proposed to the Dean oi
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. Eligibilit
qualifications are as follows:
1. The doctor’s degree or its equivalent in scholarly reputation.
2. The rank of assistant professor (or equivalent), or higher.
3. Scholarly maturity and professional productivity as demonstralfll
by publications, editorial services, research surveys, creative well
or patents; and research in progress at the time of proposal.
4. Definite interest in graduate work and the willingness to 931'
ticipate in the graduate program.

Appointment to the Graduate Faculty is made by the Presidentl
the University on nomination by the Dean of the Graduate School alt?
he and the Graduate Council have studied the credentials submitted1L
support of the proposed members.

Administrative officers assigning teaching and other duties to Well
bers of the Graduate Faculty who are taking an active part in the gradual
program(i.e., are heavily engaged in directing theses, carrying 011W
ductive research, etc.) should make appropriate reduction in the (W
required of such teachers.

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY / 9

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 eflicient 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
ex—officio 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 ofiice 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 ofiered 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 prevent a

 

  

 

 

10 / GRADUATE SCHOOL

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 OI“ GRADUATE STUDY. A director of graduate study
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 may
be appointed.

Directors of graduate study make annual reports to the Dean of the
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 which
the University may be divided. (The logical unit for an area is a
department. By common consent, however, 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 Study for
the various areas are recommended to the President of the University
by the Dean of the Graduate School after he has conferer 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 Faculty.

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 a grade—point standing of 2.5 on a basis of 4.0
may apply for admission to the Graduate School by submitting to the
Dean of Admissions two official transcripts of his undergraduate courses
and a written application at least a month before anticipated entrance.
Application blanks may be obtained from the Dean of Admissions or
from the office of the Graduate School. A student with a grade—point
average of less than 2.3, or a graduate of a non-accredited institution,
may be admitted only after entrance examinations and other evidence
acceptable to the Department, the Dean of the Graduate School, and
the Dean of Admissions indicate that he is capable of doing satisfactory
graduate work. Individual departments may establish higher require-
ments.

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 by the Dean of Admissions entitles
a student to take such courses as he desires, provided he has the neces—
sary prerequisites. However, 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
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 Area Tests, 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 be
approved for full graduate standing by the department in which he
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 Graduate
Record Examination satisfactory to the department concerned and to
the Dean of the Graduate School, and a B average or higher on all
graduate work completed at the University of Kentucky.

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.

GRADUATING SENIORS AS PART-TIME GRADUATE STUDENTS

A senior in the University of Kentucky lacking no more than six
credit hours for graduation and having an undergraduate average of at
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 to be
an applicant for a degree. The total load of such a student may not
exceed twelve credit hours. The graduate residence assigned is one and
one—half weeks for each credit hour of graduate work beyond the six or
fewer credit hours needed 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.

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 1

possibility that a passing grade will result from completion of the work.
No student may graduate with an I on his record without the permission
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 c0urses 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
of work. The project must be substantially continuous in its progress,
When the work has been completed, a final grade will be substituted for
the S.

Once a grade (other than an I or S) has been reported to the Regis-
trar’s Office, it may not be changed unless an error was made at the time
the grade was given and recorded, and then only upon the written
unanimous approval of the instructor, the Registrar, and the Dean of
the Graduate School.

REGISTRATION AND CLASSIFICATION

All students expecting graduate credit must be enrolled in the
Graduate School. Graduate Students will conform to the general regis-
tration schedule of the University and may not enter later than the last
allowable date set by the Registrar.

Before registering, a graduate student must obtain his adviser's ap-
proval of his proposed program.

STUDENT LOADS AND SHORT COURSES

The normal load of a graduate student during any semester is twelve
credit hours, and under no circumstances may it exceed fifteen credit
hours. In the summer session the normal load is six credit hours and
the maximum nine. 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 highs?r
than national average scores on the aptitude and advanced tests of the
Graduate Record Examination; (3) and has appropriate employmcut
facilities and conditions. Two short courses of 4 weeks or less, or two

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,
quality 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
credit may register for course No. 769 in the appropriate department.

TIME LIMIT FOR DEGREES

Completed more than eight years prior to the end of the semester at
which the student expects to receive his degree unless such credit or

GRADUATION

Advanced degrees may be conferred at the close of any semester or
summer session, but commencement exercises are held only at the close
of the academic year. A student who is scheduled to receive his degree
at the close of the academic year is expected to attend the commence-
ment exercises unless he is excused in writing by the Dean of the
Graduate School. Students who are eligible to receive degrees at the
end of a first semester or a summer session may elect to defer their
graduation and participate in the next commencement exercises. Appro-
priate academic costume must be worn. The graduation fee covers the
cost of the diploma, the hood, and, in the case of the master’s degree
(with thesis), the binding of the thesis.

Students intending to graduate at the close of a given semester or
term must make formal application (at the Graduate Office) for the
degree within the first two weeks of the semester or term.

FEES

Registration fees per semester are $110 for residents of Kentucky,
$260.00 for non—residents. Part—time graduate students who are legal
residents of the state pay $13.00 per semester credit; non—residents pay
$31.00 per semester credit. Students carrying full loads in the summer
session pay one-half the regular semester fce. Those taking less than
full loads pay the regular semester credit fee. The Registrar determines
the status of one’s residence for purposes of assessing fees.

Graduate fellows, graduate assistants, and instructors pay the fees
assigned to Kentucky residents.
