Organization of The Graduate School

The Graduate Faculty consists of the Dean of The
Graduate School and all persons appointed thereto by the
President of the University. As the chief University agency
for the promotion of the ideals of graduate study, it deter-
mines the policies of The Graduate School and makes rec-
ommendations to the University Senate and to the Presi-
dent, or to other administrative officials as appropriate.
All rules affecting graduate work and the inauguration of
new graduate programs must be approved by the Graduate
Faculty.

Any proposed change in the rules of The Graduate F ac-
ulty must be included in the agenda of its meeting and cir-
culated to the Graduate Faculty at least 10 days prior to
the meeting at which it is to be considered.

New Graduate Faculty members may be proposed to the
Dean of The Graduate School at any time by the college
deans and department chairs concerned, or in the case of
persons not attached to a college faculty, by the Vice Presi-
dent for Academic Affairs of the University. Eligibility
qualifications are as follows:

1. The doctor’s degree or its equivalent in scholarly repu-
tation.

2. The rank of assistant professor (or equivalent), or
higher.

3. Scholarly maturity and professional productivity as
demonstrated by publications, editorial services, re-
search surveys, creative work, or patents; and research
in progress at the time of appointment.

4. Demonstrated participation in the graduate teaching
and research program.

Appointment to the Graduate Faculty is made by the
President of the University on nomination by the Dean of
The Graduate School after the Dean and the Graduate
Council have studied the credentials submitted in support
of the proposed members.

The responsibilities peculiar to regular members of the
Graduate Faculty are:

1. Guidance of graduate student research and study to its
completion. The finished work should meet or exceed
accepted standards for publication, dissemination or
performance with the particular discipline and

2. Participation in the formulation of graduate curricula
and policy.

The Graduate Dean has the responsibility to appoint
and monitor the progress of Associate Members of the
Graduate Faculty. Associate members are authorized to
teach graduate courses, direct Master’s theses, serve on and
co-chair doctoral committees. Associate membership may
continue for five years.

The statutory requirement of promotion or termination
at the end of the five-year probationary term should be fol—
lowed. A terminated Associate Member may at any later
time be considered and promoted to Full Membership, but
not be reappointed to Associate Membership. Associate
Membership for additional terms may be permitted by the
Dean of the Graduate School in appropriate master’s level
programs.

 

Membership in the Graduate Faculty should be re-
stricted to persons who satisfy the membership criteria and
can assume the responsibilities in a particular program as
set forth above. At-Large Members (those not directly as-
sociated with a graduate program) should be appointed
only in such special cases where their services are requested
and they can contribute to a particular program.

At-Large Associate Membership should not be insti-
tuted.

Administrative officers assigning teaching and other
duties to members of the Graduate Faculty who are taking
an active part in the graduate program (i.e., are heavily
engaged in directing theses, carrying on productive re—
search, etc.) should make appropriate reduction in the
duties required of such faculty members.

The Role of the Dean

The Dean of The Graduate School is charged with the
administration of the policies adopted by the Graduate
Faculty and the University Senate relating to graduate
studies. The Dean presides over all meetings of the Grad-
uate Faculty and calls meetings of this faculty whenever it
is advisable or whenever requested to do so by one-fourth
of the membership. Recommendations are made by the
Dean to the Graduate Faculty respecting the requirements
for advanced degrees, the regulations necessary to insure a
high standard of graduate work, and all other aspects of
the graduate program. The graduate programs are admin-
istered in the interest of efficient instruction and the high—
est attainment possible on the part of each graduate stu-
dent and students are advised with regard to their studies
and the requirements of The Graduate School. The Dean
is responsible for determining and certifying to the Regis-
trar candidates who have fulfilled requirements for ad-
vanced degrees.

The President, Vice President for Academic Affairs,
and the Dean of the Graduate School are ex officio mem-
bers of all committees of the Graduate Faculty.

The Graduate Council

The Graduate Council is composed of 14 members and
the Dean of The Graduate School, who serves as chair.
There are 12 faculty representatives.

The composition of the Graduate Council is as follows:
One member from the College of Agriculture, three mem-
bers from the Colleges of Arts and Science and Fine Arts,
one member from the College of Business and Economics,
one member from the College of Engineering, two mem-
bers from the College of Education, one member from the
Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry, one member from the
Colleges of Allied Health, Communications, Home Eco-
nomics, Library Science, Nursing and Social Professions,
and two members appointed by the Dean of The Graduate
School.

Members representing a college or a combination of col-
leges are elected by The Graduate Faculty in the respective
colleges.

Two graduate student members are selected by the
Council from a panel of four submitted by the Graduate
and Professional Student Association. The term of office of
the elected members is three years, and that of the grad-

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

   
  
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
  
  
 
  
  
  
 
 

  
  
   
   
  
  
   
  
  
  
   
  
  
   
 
 
 
  
  
   
   
    
  
 
   
    
 
  
   
   
 
  
 
 
 
  
    
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

   

uate students is one year. Members may not succeed them-
selves until three years have elapsed since the completion of
their last term.

The Graduate Council approves or disapproves propos-
als concerning courses offered for graduate credit, and ad-
vises and lends assistance to the Dean in executing the pol-
icies and regulations determined by the Graduate Faculty.
Specifically, the Council:

1. Studies requests of departments relating to proposed gradu-
ate 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 faculty member from bringing any recommenda-
tion or request directly before the Graduate Faculty.)

The Graduate Council has 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 consti-
tutes a quorum for the transaction of business.

Directors of Graduate Studies

A Director of Graduate Studies serves as program ad-
viser to each student until the student has a thesis director.
The Director of Graduate Studies then recommends that
the thesis director be appointed the student’s adviser or
committee chair. In areas where theses are not required,
the Director of Graduate Studies is the adviser for all stu-
dents not writing theses. All student schedules must be en-
dorsed by the student’s adviser.

If it is desirable, a Director of Graduate Studies may rec-
ommend that additional advisers in the area be appointed.
A Director of Graduate Studies who is to be absent from
the University for as long as a semester must inform the
Dean so that a substitute may be appointed.

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 di-
vided. (The logical unit for an area is a department. By
common consent, however, certain departments may be
grouped into an area to offer a graduate program; and in
exceptional cases a department may be divided into two or
more areas to offer programs in the respective areas.) The
Directors of Graduate Studies for the various programs are
appointed by the Dean of The Graduate School.

Establishment and Modification of Graduate Programs

An area which wishes to establish a new graduate pro-
gram or modify an existing one must submit its program to
the Graduate Council, which will make a recommendation
concerning it to the Graduate Faculty.

Student Responsibility

It is the student’s responsibility to be informed concern-
ing all regulations and procedures required by the course
of study being pursued. In no case will a regulation be
waived or an exception granted because a student pleads
ignorance of the regulation or asserts that information was
not presented by advisers or other authorities. Therefore,
the student should become familiar with The Graduate

School Bulletin, including (1) the section presenting the re-
quirements for degrees and (2) the departmental offerings
and requirements.

The Director of Graduate Studies in the students’ major
program should be consulted concerning course require
ments, any deficiencies, the planning of a program, and
special regulations. Programs may have degree require-
ments that are not listed in the Bulletin.

It is to be noted that the Graduate Dean interprets the
Graduate Bulletin. Only the Graduate Council may waive
requirements stated in this Bulletin.

Confidentiality of Student Records

In accordance with the Family Education Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974, University of Kentucky students have
the right to review, inspect, and challenge the accuracy of
information kept in a cumulative file by the institution
unless the student waives this right in writing. It also in-
sures that records cannot be released in other than emer-
gency situations without the written consent of the student,
except in the following situations:

A. to other school officials, including faculty within the educa-
tional institution or local educational agency who have
legitimate educational interests;

B. to officials of other schools or school systems in which the
student intends to enroll, upon condition that the student be
notified of the transfer, receive a copy of the record if de-
sired, and have an opportunity for a hearing to challenge
the content of the record;

C. to authorized representatives of 1) the Comptroller General
of the United States, 2) the Secretary, 3) an administrative
head of an education agency or 4) state educational author-
ities;

D. in connection with a student‘s application for, and receipt
of, financial aid;

E. where the information is classified as “directory infor-
mation." The following categories of information have been
designated by the University as directory information:
name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth,
major field of study, participation in officially recognized
activities and sports, weight and height of members of ath-
letic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards re-
ceived, and the most recent previous educational institution
attended by the student. If you do not wish such information
released without your consent you should notify the Reg-
istrar's Office prior to the first day of classes.

Questions concerning this law and the University’s policy
concerning release of academic information may be di-
rected to the Registrar’s Office, 257-4623.

Admission

The University of Kentucky is committed to a policy of
providing educational opportunities to all qualified stu-
dents regardless of economic or social status, and will not
discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, marital status,
beliefs, age, national origin or handicap.

Students seeking admission to the University of Kentuc-
ky Graduate School must hold a baccalaureate degree
from a fully accredited institution of higher learning. An

overall undergraduate grade-point average of 2.5 and 3.0
on all graduate work is required by The Graduate School.
Individual departments may require higher grade-point
averages.

All applicants for admission to degree programs in The
Graduate School must submit official scores on the verbal
and quantitative portions of the Graduate Record Exam-
ination. (See Provisional Admission.) The College of Busi-
ness and Economics may substitute the Graduate Manage-
ment Admission Test for M.B.A., D.B.A. and Accounting
applicants. Applicants for Public Administration may sub-
stitute the GMAT for the GRE. The Medical College Ad-
mission Test or the Dental College Admission Test may be
substituted with the approval of the Dean of the Graduate
School.

New students applying for admission must have two offi-
cial transcripts sent by each institution of higher learning
previously attended. All transcripts must be sent to The
Graduate School Office.

To be official, records must bear the Registrar’s signa-
ture and/ or official seal of the issuing institution. A sum-
mary of credits transferred and recorded on the transcript
issued by the institution granting the degree will not suf-
fice.

Application forms can be obtained by writing:

 

The Graduate School
Room 35], Patterson Office Tower

University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky
40506

 

 

 

Applications must be submitted no later than one
month before the beginning of the term the applicant in—
tends to begin graduae work. (See Calendar).

Graduate students may not be able to begin immediately
a full graduate program leading to the degree they desire;
it may be necessary for them to satisfy prerequisites which
they omitted in their undergraduate curriculum. Deficien-
cies are determined by the program in which the major
work is to be done. Ordinarily, graduate students may
begin a full program in any field in which they have a bal-
anced undergraduate major or its equivalent.

Admission to The Graduate School entitles students to
take such courses as they desire, provided they have the
necessary prerequisites and departmental approval.
However, students are not candidates for graduate degrees
until they have been Admitted to Candidacy.

Attendance in The Graduate School at the University of
Kentucky is not a right. It is a privilege which may be with-
drawn 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.

Provisional Admission

Students wishing to pursue an advanced degree who are
temporarily ineligible for regular graduate admission
status may be recommended by the Director of Graduate
Studies for provisional admission status for one or more of
the following reasons:

Health Service

The convenience of an on-campus health care facility, a
low cost prepaid plan for outpatient services, and an excel-
lent Blue Cross/Blue Shield hospitalization plan which
now includes a broad major medical component—all are
designed to make UK’s total health plan attractive and
economical for graduate and professional students, both
fulltime and parttime.

The Student Health Service is located in the Family
Medical Center/Student Health Building (Annex No. 4)
across Rose Street from University Hospital. Clinic hours
are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and
8-11 Saturday morning. Students can be seen in a mini-
mum of time on a “walk-in” basis. Su
