ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY
Students are admitted to the University of Kentucky as freshmen, as stu- i
dents with advanced standing from other institutions, as graduate students, as
special students, and as auditors. Admission to certain colleges is governed by
special regulations.
Applications for admission to the University should be made to the Uni-
versity Registrar on forms furnished by the Registrar’s Office. Certified copies
of high school credentials and of work done in other institutions 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
professional schools and the Graduate School, must be passed on by the Regis-
trar’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. The University classification tests must be taken by new
undergraduate students before they can be registered for classes.
Admission to the Freshman Cluss
Applicants who are graduates of accredited high schools will be admitted
to the University on certificate, provided they have at least fifteen units of ac-
ceptable high school work. A unit represents the study of any subject for a
school year of at least thirty-two weeks, with five recitation periods a week,
each of at least forty-five minutes in length, or the equivalent thereof. Double
periods are required in shop, drawing, typewriting, and all other courses which
demand no out-of—class preparation. One unit is the minimum credit accepted
in any foreign language, and one-half unit the minimum in any other subject.
While the University does not prescribe a pattem of work for admission,
it recommends that at least ten of the units presented be chosen from English, .
the social studies, mathematics, the foreign languages, and the laboratory
sciences, and that within these ten units the student offer at least three units
in English, one and one-half in algebra, and one in plane geometry. Should a
student lack these courses as prerequisites for any of his college work, he will be
required to take them in college without credit, thus delaying his graduation. *
Applicants who have graduated from unaccredited high schools and those
not graduated from high school may be admitted as freshmen if, in addition
to presenting the fifteen acceptable units, they successfully pass the University
classiHcation examinations.
Admission to the University does not necessarily qualify a student for ad-
mission to a particular college. In every case the student must meet the ad-
mission requirements of the college in which he is to enroll.
