The University of Kentucky began offering graduate
work in 1870 and awarded its first graduate degrees in

The Graduate School

1876. The Graduate School became a distinct unit in the
University organization in 1912.

The Graduate School is concerned with advanced study,
graduate instruction and research conducted by the fac-
ulty and students of all colleges and departments. The
total graduate resources of the University are merged
under it for the purpose of promoting the acquisition of
knowledge in an atmosphere of free and lively inquiry.

Graduate work is offered in most colleges in the Univer-
sity. A general description and tabulation of courses for

Ed-

Organizafion 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 Fac-
ulty must be included in the agenda of the meeting and
circulated 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 chairmen concerned, or in the case
of persons not attached to a college faculty, by the Vice
President for Academic Affairs of the University. Eligibili-
ty qualifications are as follows:

1. The doctor’s degree or its equivalent in scholarly repu—
tatlon.

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. Definite interest in graduate work and the willingness
to participate in the graduate 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.

Associate members of the Graduate Faculty are ap-
pointed by the Dean of The Graduate School.

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
research, 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 members ex of-
ficio 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 is chairman. 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 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 chairman. In areas where theses are not re-
quired, the Director of Graduate Studies is the adviser for

   

  
   
   
   
  
  
 
   
  
   
 
  
  
  
   
 
   
  
  
    
 
  
  
  
 
 
 
  
  
 
 
   
   
  
    
  
  
  
 
 
  
  
  
   
  

all students not writing theses. All student schedules must
be endorsed 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 call this fact to
the attention of the Dean so that a substitute may be ap—
pointed.

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; and in exceptional cases a depart-
ment may be divded into two or more areas.) The Direc-
tors of Graduate Studies for the various areas are ap—
pointed 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 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.

Admission

An applicant for admission to the University shall not be
discriminated against because of race, color, religion, sex,
marital status, or national origin.

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 scores on the verbal and

 

  

quantitative portions of the Graduate Record Examina-
tion. (See Provisional Admission.) The College of Business
and Economics may substitute the Graduate Management
Admission Test for M.B.A., D.B.A. and Accounting stu-
dents. The Medical College Admission Test or the Dental
College Admission Test may be substituted with the ap—
proval of the program concerned.
Application forms can be obtained by writing:

 

The Graduate School
Room 351, Patterson Office Tower

University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky
40506

 

 

 

Applications must be submitted by the stated deadlines
(See Calendar).

It should be clearly understood that graduate students
may not be able to begin immediately a full graduate pro-
gram leading to the degree they desire; it may be necessary
for them to satisfy prerequisites which they omitted in their
undergraduate curriculum. Deficiencies are determined
by the program in which the major work is to be done. Or-
dinarily, graduate students may begin a full program in
any field in which they have a balanced 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. However, students are not candi-
dates 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 a higher degree who are tem-
porarily 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 fol-
lowing reasons:

1. Missing transcripts or other requirements for admis-
sion such as letters of recommendation;

2. Temporary waiver of the Graduate Record Examina-
tion;

3. Deficiencies determined by the program;

4. Temporary ineligibility for regular admission status
because program only reviews applications once a
year;

5. Graduating University of Kentucky seniors lacking no
more than six hours for graduation; the consent of the
college dean and the Dean of the Graduate School and
approval of the Director of Graduate Studies are ne-
cessary. The student may take no more than 12 credit
hours and must complete the undergraduate degree
during the semester in which they enroll in the provi-
sional status.

Provisional status is allowed for a maximum of one se-

viewed, and, within 30 days into the following semester,
and on recommendation of the Director of Graduate
Studies, the status will be moved automatically from provi—
sional to regular program status, or removed from the pro-

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 and 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. The Health Service is staffed with
physicians, surgeons, psychiatrists and other health profes-
sionals who are specialists in the problems seen in a Univer-
sity population.

Health Fee. There are no “free" health services at UK,
but a plan is available which enables students to pay a low
health fee each semester. This fee entitles them to many
services provided by the Student Health Service at no addi-
tional cost. In 1979-80 the fee was $18 per semester. Basi-
cally, health fee coverage includes the outpatient care of
illness: visits to clinicians, laboratory services, some medi-
cations, gynecological services, first aid care, preventive
medicine services, mental health services, some Emergency
Room services and more.

Fee-for-service. Students who do not pay the health fee
may obtain services at the student clinic on a charge-for-
service basis. There is a minimum visit charge for a student
without the health fee. It was $12 In 1979-80. Non-student
spouses can use the Health Service on a fee-for-service
basis. The minimum charge in 1979-80 was $15 per visit.

Services provided in the Health Service that are tradi-
tionally covered by insurance plans (accident x-ray, surgi—
cal procedures) will be billed to the student’s insurance
carrier. UK students are expected to have insurance, and
are responsible for any amount which insurance does not
pay on these type charges.

Health fee benefits and conditions are described in de-
tail in the Health Service Information Brochure that is
available at the Graduate Office and the Health Service.

How to pay the health fee. Most students pay the health
fee at the same time they pay tuition. Information about
how to pay fees and the deadlines for payment comes to all
students from the University’s Billing and Collections Of-
fice, Room 220, Service Building. It is important to read
this information carefully because deadlines are strictly en-
forced.

Health Insurance

As a service to students who need insurance of their own,
the University has made arrangements for an excellent

group insurance plan at reasonable student-age group
rates to help cover the costs of hospitalization/acci-
dent/surgery care. The current plan is Blue Cross and
Blue Shield with Major Medical. The plan provides year—
round coverage wherever the student may be as long as the
semi-annual premium payments are maintained. There
are no deductibles under the base portion of the plan.
There are no exclusions for pre-existing conditions except
for pregnancy which is only covered after nine consecutive
months enrollment under the family option.

There is (1) a single option which covers only the student
and provides no maternity benefits, (2) a two-party option
which covers the student and spouse or the student and one
dependent child under age 19 (this option provides no ma-
ternity benefits), and (3) a family option which covers the
student, spouse, and any children under age 19 and pro-
vides maternity benefits after nine consecutive months env
rollment under the family option.

Information about the student group insurance plan is
mailed to all‘ pre-registered entering students before
