Students are admitted to the University of Kentucky as freshmen, as suc
students with advanced standing from other institutions, as graduate stu-
dents, as special students, and as auditors. Admission to certain colleges col
is governed by special regulations. of
Applications for admission to the University should be made to the
Registrar on forms furnished by the Registrar’s Office. Certified copies of Im
high school credentials and of work done in other institutions should be un
submitted to the Registrar’s Office in advance of the registration period.
Failure to file credentials in time for checking before the registration period °f
will delay the student in arranging his program. All admissions, including th'
those to the professional schools and the Graduate School must be passed fu
on by the Registrars Office. Students who come to the University without Sp'
having their admission approved, do so at their own risk. The University
reserves the right to refuse consideration of applications not made before ad
the beginning of the registration period. The University classification tests Eu
must be taken by new undergraduate students before they can be registered °f
for classes. Su
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 as
acceptable high school work. A unit represents the study of any subject for pr
a school year of at least thirty-two weeks, with five recitation periods a le,
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 hz
courses which demand no out-of-class preparation. One unit is the mini- in
mum credit accepted in any foreign language, and one-half unit the mini-
mum in any other subject.
While the University does not prescribe a pattern of work for admis-
sion, 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 tt
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 T
those not graduated from high school may be admitted as freshmen if, in
addition to presenting the fifteen acceptable units, they successfully pass E
the University classification examinations.
