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 pattern of work for
admission, it recommended that at least ten of the units presented
be chosen from English, the social studies, mathematics, the for-
eign 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 de-
laying 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 classification examinations.
Admission to the University does not necessarily qualify a
student for admission to a particular college. In every case the
student must meet the admission requirements of the college in
which he is to enroll.
Admission to Advanced Standing
Kentucky Students. A resident of Kentucky who applies for .
admission with advanced standing is expected to present evidence
that he is in good standing in every respect in the institution last
attended. He should have maintained a standing of 1.0 or an aver- I
age of C in all previous college work. The student whose standing
is below 1.0, however, may be admitted on probation if after taking
the University classification tests such an admission seems war-
ranted. In no case shall a student be admitted whose record is such
‘ that he would have been dropped at the University of Kentucky.
The University does not disregard at any time or under any
conditions college or university records in order to admit appli-
cants solely on the basis of their high school records.
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 .
Out-of--State Students. A non-resident who applies for ad· i
mission with advanced standing must in all cases have maintained _
