required of such teachers.

THE DEAN AND Hrs 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
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 oﬂice 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
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 prevent;
faculty member from bringing any recommendation or request
directly before the Graduate Faculty.) 3

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 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 ol
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 semesteii
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 ofthe“
Graduate School on the progress and needs of graduate work in thehi
areas in time to permit the Dean to use this information in his annuali
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:
department. By common consent, however, certain departments maybe
grouped into an area; and in exceptional cases a department maybe
divided into two or more areas.) The Directors of Graduate Study f0l
the various areas are recommended to the President of the Universityt
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. Anl
area which wishes to establish a new graduate program or modify alt
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 llSi
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
hlgher than that of instructor may not be considered as candidates for
advanced degrees from this institution. They may take graduate courses,
bllt 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 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 iul
which the degree is sought. 1

To be admitted to full graduate standing, a student (in addition toi
meeting the admission requirements) must have scores on the Graduate
Record Examination satisfactory to the department concerned andto'
the Dean of the Graduate School and a B average or higher on all,

graduate work completed at the University of Kentucky. I

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. t

GRADUATING SENIORS AS PART-TIME GRADUATE STUDENTS i

A senior in the University of Kentucky lacking no more than six
credit hours for graduation and having an undergraduate average otat
least 2.5 may register in the Graduate School with the consent ofhisg
college dean and the Dean of the Graduate School. Approval of thei
appropriate director of graduate study is required if the student is tobe
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 01
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 15 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 3110wed 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 tam
in order to complete their undergraduate requirements. The petitiﬂﬂl
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 oﬂicial 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 -t grade points per credit
B—satisfactory achievement 3 grade points per credit
C—minimum passing grade 2 grade points per credit
E—failure 0 grade points per credit
I—incomplete see explanation below

S—satisfactory see explanation below

full-t
A sh

durii

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 i
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. 1

A grade of S (satisfactory work in progress) may be recorded for ' (
students in graduate courses which carry no credit; and in graduate

. . . de [1
seminars, independent work courses, and research courses which extend uagm
beyond the normal limits of a semester or summer term. The grade may gther

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 g]

of work. The project must be substantially continuous in its progress. . regul:
When the work has been completed, a ﬁnal grade will be substituted for : week:

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

REGISTRATION AND CLASSIFICATION l ']

All students expecting graduate credit must be enrolled in then PFOV‘
Graduate School. Graduate Students will conform to the general regis-l elghl
tration schedule of the University and may not enter later than the last1 whet
allowable date set by the Registrar. x‘ COUH

Before registering, a graduate student must obtain his adviser’s an 1
proval of his proposed program. linnearl

STUDENT LOADS AND SHORT COURSES l Test:

The normal load of a graduate student during any semester is twelve credi
credit hours, and under no circumstances may it exceed ﬁfteen credit No.‘
hours. In the summer session the normal load is six credit hours and- A
the maximum nine. Graduate students serving in the University as credi
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 I\
or term more than 5 credit hours. A student may petition for a waiVCI

of this rule if he meets the following conditions: (1) has satisfactorily} 3%]
completed six credit hours of graduate work; (2) has attained highel reside

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
