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 in
the manner set forth below. As the chief University agency for the
1
promotion of the ideals of graduate study, it determines the policies of ,
the Graduate School and makes recommendations to the University
Senate on such matters as require the approval of that body, and it may
make recommendations on other matters to the President, or to other
administrative officials. All rulcs affecting graduate work and the inaugu-
ration of new graduate majors must be approved by the Graduate Faculty.
Any proposed change in the rules of the Graduate School must be ‘
included in the agenda of the meeting and circulated to the Graduate
Faculty at least ten days prior to the meeting at which it is to be con—
sidered.
New Graduate Faculty members may be proposed to the Dean of l
the Graduate School at any time by the college deans and department ‘
chairmen concerned, or in the case of persons not attached to a college
faculty, by the Executive Vice—President of the University. Eligibilit."
qualifications are as follows:
1. The doctor’s degree or its equivalent in scholarly reputation.
The rank of assistant professor (or equivalent), or higher.
\IJN
Scholarly maturity and professional productivity as demonstrated
by publications, editorial services, research surveys, creative workY
or patents; and research in progress at the time of proposal.
4. Definite interest in graduate work and the willingness to par-
ticipate in the graduate program.

he and the Graduate Council have studied the credentials submitted in
support of the proposed members.
Associate members are appointed by the Dean of the Graduate School
upon nomination by the Director of Graduate Study. Associate mem—
bership is limited to non-tenured Assistant Professors who hold the
doctorate, have been full—time members of the faculty for at least one
year, and have initiated a significant research effort. This membership
may continue no more than five years. Associate members are authorized
to teach graduate courses, direct masters’ theses, serve on and co—chair
doctoral committees, and attend and participate in Graduate Faculty
meetings. They do not have voting privileges in the Graduate Faculty.
Administrative officers assigning teaching and other duties to mem-
bers of the Graduate Faculty who are taking an active part in the graduate
program(i.e., are heavily engaged in directing theses, carrying on pro—
ductive research, etc.) should make appropriate reduction in the duties
required of such teachers.
THE DEAN AND HIS OFFICE. 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. He
presides over all meetings of the Graduate Faculty and calls meetings
of this faculty whenever he thinks it advisable or whenever requested
to do so by one fourth of the membership. He makes recommendations
to the Graduate Faculty respecting the requirements for advanced
degrees, the regulations necessary to insure a high standard of graduate
work, the departments of colleges authorized to offer courses leading
to graduate degrees, and all other aspects of the graduate program. He
appoints a committee for each graduate student, arranges for final
examinations, advises students with regard to their studies and the
requirements of the Graduate School, and in all other ways administers
the graduate program in the interests of efficient instruction and the
highest attainment possible on the part of each graduate student. He
rs responsible for determining and certifying to the Registrar candidates
who have fulfilled requirements for advanced degrees, and he reports
annually to the President of the University on the work of the Graduate
School and its needs.
The President and the Dean of the Graduate School are members
ex-officio of all committees of the Graduate Faculty.
THE GRADUATE COUNCIL is composed of eleven members and the
Dean of the Graduate School, who is chairman. There are eight elected
representatives and three members appointed by the Dean of the Grad—
Uflte School. One of the elected members is from the College of
Agriculture, two from the College of Arts and Sciences, one from the
COHCEC of Business and Economics, two from the College of Education,
10
/ GRADUATE SCHOOL
one from the College of Engineering, and one from the College of
Medicine. The member or members from each of these colleges are.
elected by the Graduate Faculty members in that college. The term of
office of the elected and appointed members is three years and n01
member may succeed himself until three years have elapsed since the
completion of his last term
The Graduate Council approves or disapproves proposals concerning1
courses offered for graduate credit and advises and lends assistance to the ‘
Dean in his execution of policies and regulations determined by the1
Graduate Faculty. Specifically, the Council.

2. Reviews existing programs and courses.
VJ
The Graduate Council has only 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 constitutes a quorum for the trans-
action of business.
DIRECTORS OF GRADUATE STUDY. A director of graduate study
serves as adviser to each student majoring in his area until the student
has a thesis director. The director of graduate study then recommends 1
that this thesis director be appointed the student’s adviser or committee 1
chairman. In areas where theses are not required, the director of
graduate study is the adviser for all students not writing theses. All 1
student classification schedules must be endorsed by the student’s adviser. '1
If it is desirable, a director of graduate study may recommend that 1
additional advisers in the area be appointed. A director of graduate 1
study who is to be absent from the University for as long as a semester
must call this fact to the attention of the Dean so that a substitute may 1
be appointed.
Directors of graduate study make annual reports to the Dean of the 1
Graduate School 011 the progress and needs of graduate work in their .‘
areas in time to permit the Dean to use this information in his annutl1 1
report to the President of the University.
The Dean of the Graduate School, with the advice of the college
dean(s) and the approval of the President, may recommend t0 1115

department. By common consent, however, certain departments may be
grouped into an area; and in exceptional cases a department may be
divided into two or more areas.) The Directors of Graduate Study for
the various areas are recommended to the President of the University
by the Dean of the Graduate School after he has conferred with the
respective graduate staffs and college deans of the areas concerned.
ESTABLISHMENT AND MODIFICATION OF GRADUATE PROGRAMS. An
area which wishes to establish a new graduate program or modify an
existing one must submit its program to the Graduate Council, which
will make recommendations concerning it to the Graduate Faculty.
HONORARY DEGREES. The selection of candidates for honorary degrees
originates in the Graduate Faculty, and the Graduate Faculty makes its
recommendations to the University Senate.
Honorary degrees are normally conferred at the May Commence-
ment, but may be conferred at other times with the approval of the
Graduate Faculty. Recipients must be present in order to receive
honorary degrees.
Admission
A student who is a graduate of a fully accredited institution of
higher learning and has an undergraduate grade-point standing of 2.5
on a basis of 4.0 may apply for admission to the Graduate School by
submitting to the Graduate Admissions Oflice two oflicial transcripts of
all college courses and a written application at least a month before
anticipated entrance. Application blanks may be obtained from the
Admissions Office of the Graduate School. A student with a grade—point
average of less than 2.5, or a graduate of a non—accredited institution,
may be admitted only after the Graduate Record Examination or other
evidence acceptable to the Dean of the Graduate School, and to the
Department, indicate that he is capable of doing satisfactory graduate
work. Individual departments may establish higher requirements.
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'desires. It may be necessary for him to demonstrate his ability to
write accurate and effective English or he may have to satisfy certain
Pféfequisites which he omitted in his undergraduate curriculum. De—
ticrencies are determined by the department in which the major work
Is to be done. Ordinarily, a graduate student may begin a full program
“1 any field in which he has a balanced undergraduate major or its
equivalent.
Admission to the Graduate School entitles a student to take such
00111868 as he desires, provided he has the necessary prerequisites. How—
ever, admission does not automatically make a student a candidate for
a graduate degree.
Attendance in the Graduate School at the University of Kentucky is j
not a right. It is a privilege which may be withdrawn by the Univer5ity t
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 .
of scholarship and character.
12 / GRADUATE SCHOOL [
l
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
It is the responsibility of the student to inform himself concerning,
and to observe all regulations and procedures required by the course he I
is pursuing. In no case will a regulation be waived or an exception
granted because a student pleads ignorance of the regulation or asserts
that he was not informed of it by his adviser or other authority. There—
fore, the student should become familiar with the Graduate School
Bulletin, including (1) the section presenting the requirements for the
degree which he plans to take, and (2) the offerings and requirements
of his major department. ’
The student should consult the Director of Graduate Studies of the
department in which he will do his work concerning course require-
ments, any deficiencies, the planning of a program, special regulations,
etc. Departments may have degree requirements that are not listed in j
the Bulletin. i
It is to be noted that the Graduate Dean interprets the Graduate
Bulletin; any other interpretations are unofficial. Only the Graduate
Council may waive requirements stated in this Bulletin.
ADVANCED DEGREES FOR FACULTY MEMBERS
Members of the faculty of the University of Kentucky having a rank j
higher than that of instructor may not be considered as candidates for l
advanced degrees from this institution. They may take graduate courses I
but these may not apply toward a degree from the University.
THE GRADUATE RECORD EXAMINATION
All students working for graduate degrees must take the Graduate
Record Examination (the Aptitude Test, and the Advanced Test in the
major subject) . This must be done no later than the first term of gradual6
work. (See the calendar at the front of this bulletin.)
The College of Business and Economics may substitute the Ad' 1,
mission Test for Graduate Study in Business (ATGSB) for the GradualC l
Record Examination, Aptitude and Advanced Tests, for MBA, DBA I
and Accounting students.

APPLICATION FOR FULL GRADUATE STANDING
A graduate student desiring to earn a graduate degree must be
approved for full graduate standing by the department in which he
intends to major and by the Graduate School. Application should be
made as soon as scores on the Graduate Record Examination are avail—
able, and in any case prior to the beginning of the semester or term in
which the degree is sought.
To be admitted to full graduate standing, 3 student (in addition to
meeting the admission requirements) must have scores on the Graduate
Record Examination satisfactory to the department concerned and to
the Dean of the Graduate School, and a B average or higher on all
graduate work completed at the University of Kentucky.
Graduate work taken before a student is admitted to full graduate
standing will be evaluated by the Director of Graduate Study in the
major area and by the Dean of the Graduate School at the time the
application for full graduate standing is considered.
GRADUATING SENIORS AS PART-TIME GRADUATE STUDENTS
A senior in the University of Kentucky lacking no more than six
credit hours for graduation and having an undergraduate average of at
least 2.5 may register in the Graduate School with the consent of his
college dean and the Dean of the Graduate School. Approval of the
appropriate director of graduate study is required if the student is to be
an applicant for a degree. The total load of such a student may not
exceed twelve credit hours. Graduate credit will be allowed for each
credit hour of graduate work beyond the six or fewer credit hours needed
to complete undergraduate requirements. The incidental fee is that of
afull—time student in the school in which more than half of the work
rs taken. In cases where the load is evenly divided between the schools,
the larger fee is assessed. Requirements for the undergraduate degree
must be completed during the semester in which the student is allowed
to register for part-time graduate work. Students desiring to enroll in
the. Graduate School under these conditions must fill out in duplicate a
Petition listing the course or courses to be taken in order to complete their
undergraduate requirements. The petition must be approved by both
deans concerned.
General Requirements for All Advanced Degrees
COURSES AND GRADES
All courses numbered 500 through 799 may be counted for credit
t0ward a graduate degree provided they are approved as an appropriate
l4 / GRADUATE SCHOOL
part of the student’s graduate program by his graduate adviser or com.
mittee. Courses numbered 400 to 499 carry graduate credit for non-
majors only. An over-all average of B on all work taken as a graduate
student, as well as a B average on all work carrying graduate credit, must
be attained before an advanced degree may be awarded. All work is
to be counted and none of it may be omitted in computing the average
except those grades in courses which do not give graduate credit may
be omitted from a student’s average by the Dean of the Graduate
School on recommendation of the student’s adviser. D grades are not “
given to graduate students. An “incomplete” (I), unless the Dean of
the Graduate School grants an extension of time, must be removed
within one calendar year after the close of the term in which the lis
assigned if the student is to receive credit.
DROPPING OF COURSES
During the first ten class days of the term a graduate student may
drop a regular course without a grade, provided he has the approval of
his instructor, his director of graduate study, and the Dean. Regular
courses may not be dropped later in the term without the assignment
of a grade: W if a student withdraws passing, E if he is failing. However,
only under very special Circumstances may he be allowed to withdraw
from a class within five weeks of the final examination period.
GRADES
The official grades of graduate students are recorded in the office of
the Registrar. The Registrar provides oflicial transcripts on the same
basis as for undergraduate students. Also, he provides the Dean
[
with the grades of all students in order that the Dean may be able to ‘
advise students concerning their programs.

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY / 15
A grade of S (satisfactory work in progress) may be recorded for
students in graduate courses which carry no credit; and in graduate
seminars, independent work courses, and research courses which extend
beyond the normal limits of a semester or summer term. The grade may
not be given to a student in a course carrying credit if the student has
done unsatisfactory work or if he has failed to do a reasonable amount
of work. The project must be substantially continuous in its progress.
When the work has been completed, a final grade will be substituted for
the S.
Once a grade (other than an I or S) has been reported to the Regis—
trar’s Office, it may not be changed unless an error was made at the time
the grade was given and recorded, and then only upon the written
unanimous approval of the instructor, the Registrar, and the Dean of
the Graduate School.
REGISTRATION AND CLASSIFICATION
All students expecting graduate credit must be enrolled in the
Graduate School. Graduate Students will conform to the general regis-
tration schedule of the University and may not enter later than the last
allowable date set by the Registrar.
Before registering, a graduate student must obtain his adviser's ap-
proval of his proposed program.
CREDIT EQUIVALENCE
Certain research courses carry no credit hours or grades but do con-
tribute to the residence requirements of graduatedegrees. For these
courses the credit equivalent is stated in the course descriptions.
ACADEMIC LOAD
The total term load of a student is the sum of all credits and credit
equivalents being carried. The normal load of a graduate student during
any semester is twelve credit hOurs or equivalent and under no circum-
stances may it exceed fifteen credit hours or equivalent. In the summer
session the normal load is six credit hours and the maximum nine.
Students satisfactorily completing in residence 9 course credits, or
equlvalent, of graduate level work during a semester, or 6 course credits,
0f equivalent, during a summer term are classified as full—time or full—
resrdence students. Those completing less than these amounts are
classified as part—time or part-residence students.
A full-residence student who falls below the minimum full—residence
e‘lurvalent as the result of failing or dropping one or more courses is
reClassified as a part—time or part—residence student for that term.
