COVER DESIGN—The University’s Centennial device, designed
by P. I. Conkwright, Class of 1928, is adapted from the Brioschi
sculpture near the University of Kentucky Medical Center.

The upward sweep and downward curve of its elements indicate
the University’s Centennial theme—the aspiration for achievement
in the future coupled with honor for the traditions of the past.

The Centennial motto from Virgil—“This is the pathway to
the stars”~—bears out the theme.

Introductory Statement

THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY began offering graduate work in 1870,
and awarding graduate degrees in 1876, although the Graduate School as
a distinct unit was not organized until 1912.

The Graduate School is concerned with advanced study and research
carried on by the faculty and students of all colleges and departments.
Under it the total graduate resources of the University are merged in
order to promote the achievement of knowledge in an atmosphere of

free and lively inquiry.

Graduate work is offered in all colleges in the University. Directors
of graduate study in the various subjects are listed in this bulletin just

before the list of courses.

The following advanced degrees are conferred:

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 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—oﬂicio 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 ofﬁce 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.

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 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 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 conferred 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 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 doas 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 instructornmay 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.

lZ / GRADUATE SCHOOL

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, 3 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 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 is taken. In cases where the load is evenly divided
between the schools, the larger fee is assessed. Requirements for tht
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.

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY / 13

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-
inajors 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: \V 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 ofﬁcial 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 4 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
l—incornplete see explanation below

S—satisfactory see explanation below

14 / GRADUATE SCHOOL

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
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 courses 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 higher
than national average scores on the aptitude and advanced tests of the
Graduate Record Examination; (3) and has appropriate employment
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,
qualify 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 Oﬂice 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

No course or residence credit may be given for graduate study
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
residence is speciﬁcally validated by the Graduate Council on written
recommendation of the apprOpriate director of graduate study. No course
or residence credit may be validated in this manner if completed more

16 / GRADUATE SCHOOL

than twelve years prior to the end of the semester in which the student
expects to receive his degree.

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 (1966—67) are $140 for residents of
Kentucky, $360.00 for non—residents. Part—time graduate students who
are legal residents of the state pay $17.00 per semester credit; non‘
residents pay $44.00 per semester credit. Resident students carrying full
loads in the summer of 1966 will pay $80.00, non—resident students
