THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
The University of Kentucky is located at Lexington, an urban
- community of about 75,000 population. It is a state supported in-
stitution operated under the direction of a board of trustees of
fifteen members. The membership of this board includes the
Governor, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the Com-
missioner of Agriculture, ex officio, and twelve members appointed
by the Governor, three of whom are alumni of the University and
three, members of the State Board of Agriculture. The University
is one of a number of institutions known as land-grant colleges,
which were established by the Morrill Act of 1862 and which have
continued to receive federal assistance under the provisions of this
and subsequent laws relating to the teaching of agriculture and the
mechanic arts and the provision of agricultural experiment stations
and extension services in agriculture and home economics.
The University of Kentucky is on the approved list of the
Association of American Universities, and is a member of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the
Kentucky Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. It is
~ accredited in its respective colleges or departments by the Associa-
tion of American Law Schools, the American Association of Col-
legiate Schools of Business, the American Association of Schools
and Departments of Journalism, the American Library Association,
the National Association of Schools of Music, the Engineers’ Coun-
cil for Professional Development, the American Chemical Society,
and the National Association of Schools of Social Administration.
The major function of the University is that of instruction.
For the performance of this function it is organized into the Col-
lege of Arts and Sciences, the College of Agriculture and Home
Economics, the College of Engineering, the College of Law, the
College of Education, the College of Commerce, the College of
Pharmacy, the Graduate School, and a Department of University
Extension. Residence 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-
sion Division of the College of Agriculture and Home Economics,
the Bureau of Business Research, the Bureau of Government
Research, the Bureau of School Service, the Bureau of Source
Materials in Higher Education, the Teachers Placement Bureau,

The University of Kentucky began as a part of Kentucky Uni- I
versity under a cooperative plan authorized by the legislature in `
Q 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 ‘ I
i 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
( V the State University of Kentucky, and gave it additional financial
. support. In 1916 the name was again changed, this time to the
» J present title, and additional maintenance was arranged by legisla-
\ tive act.
ADMISSION T0 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. I
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
_ A professional schools and the Graduate School must be passed on
by the Registrar’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 Freshman 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-
GENERAL INFORMATION 15
blic two weeks, with five recitation periods a week, each of at least
hy" forty-five minutes in length, or the equivalent thereof. Double
rial periods are required in shop, drawing, typewriting, and all other
’ courses requiring no out-of-class preparation. One unit is the
ini- minimum credit accepted in any foreign language, and one-half
. in unit the minimum in any other subject.
Jlic While the University does not prescribe a pattern of work for
fc"` admission, it is strongly recommended that at least ten of the
Zed ` units presented be chosen from the English SlJ\.1dl€S, the social
md studies, mathematics, the foreign languages, and the laboratory
P19 sciences, and that within these ten units the student offer at least
ier three units in English, one and one-half in algebra, and one in
ras plane geometry. Should a student lack these courses as pre-
nd requisites for any of his college work, he will be required to take
‘ty them in college without credit, thus delaying his graduation.
ig; Applicants who have graduated from unaccredited high schools
he and those not graduated from high school may be admitted as
freshmen if, in addition to presenting the fifteen acceptable units,
a` they successfully pass the University classification examinations.
Admission to the University does not necessarily qualify a
student for admission to a particular college. In every case the
q- student must meet the admission requirements of the college in
ar which he is to enroll.
ao
A Admission to Advanced Standing
E Resident Students. A resident of Kentucky who applies for
l_ admission with advanced standing is expected to present evidence
E that he is in good standing in every respect in the institution last
T attended and in general is required to have maintained a standing
n of 1.0 in all previous college work. Where all circumstances seem
8 to warrant, the student may be admitted on probation when his
n standing is below 1.0. In no case, however, shall a student be ad¢ ·
Y mitted whose record is such that he would have been dropped at
I the University of Kentucky.
I The University does not disregard at any time or under any
I conditions college or university records in order to admit applicants
. solely on the basis of their high school records.
r 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 classified 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 be
obtained at the University only by special subject examinations.
