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 de—
sires; it may be necessary for him to satisfy pre-
requisites which he omitted in his undergraduate
curriculum. Deficiences are determined by the de-
partment in which the major work is to be done.
Ordinarily, a graduate student may begin a full pro-
gram in any field in which he has a balanced under-
graduate major or its equivalent.

Admission to the Graduate School entitles a stu-
dent to take such courses as he desires, provided
he has the necessary prerequisites. However, ad-
mission does not automatically make a student a
candidate for a graduate degree.

Attendance in the Graduate School at the Uni-
versity 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which may be withdrawn by the University or any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 safe-
guard the University’s standards.
