SECTION 11.1GENERAL PROCEDURESClassification of StudentsCurrently, the Graduate School classifies students in one of two categories: Post-BaccalaureateStudents, or Degree Seeking Students.1.1.1 Post-Baccalaureate StudentsStudents who hold a baccalaureate degree and wish to pursue graduate study without a degreeobjective, and students who do not fulfill the entrance requirements of the Graduate School or ofthe Department, may apply for admission as Post-Baccalaureate Students. Admission to thisstatus may be granted to an applicant who (1) demonstrates promise but has not qualified foradmission to a degree program, or (2) intends not to complete a degree program. Only nine (9)hours of courses taken as a Post-Baccalaureate student at UK may be counted toward a graduatedegree if the students wish to switch his/her status to regular admission. All such courses must becompleted with a grade of “B” or better. The Director of Graduate Studies and the Dean of theGraduate School must approve all transfers of credit hours to a graduate program (see Section2.2.2).1.1.2 Degree Students - Conditional AdmissionA student who wishes to pursue a higher degree, but who, for one or more of the reasons listedbelow, is temporarily ineligible for regular admission status, may be recommended to theGraduate School by the Director of Graduate Studies for admission to the degree program inConditional Status: Missing transcripts or other requirements for admission, such as diplomas orcertificates.Temporary waiver of the Graduate Record Examination (to be presented beforethe end of the first semester of enrollment in Graduate School).Deficiencies of undergraduate courses in civil engineering.Temporary ineligibility for regular admission status because a prerequisitedegree has not yet been officially awarded.Graduating University of Kentucky seniors lacking no more than six (6) hoursfor graduation; the consent of the Dean of the College of Engineering and theDean of the Graduate School and approval of the Director of Graduate Studiesis necessary. Such students may take no more than twelve (12) credit hours andmust complete the undergraduate degree during the semester in which they areenrolled in Graduate School in the provisional status.A student may remain in provisional status for a maximum of one semester or up to twelve (12)credit hours, whichever comes earlier. After this time, the student's work will be reviewed.Within 30 days into the following semester, and on recommendation of the Director of Graduate1

Studies, the student will be moved to regular admission status, or removed from the graduateprogram. A recommendation for granting provisional admission is entirely at the discretion ofthe Director of Graduate Studies.1.1.3 Degree Students - University Scholars ProgramThe University Scholars Program in Civil Engineering is a combined BSCE-MSCE program forthe most gifted and highly motivated students currently enrolled in our undergraduate program. Itoffers the students the opportunity and challenge of integrating their undergraduate and graduatecourses of study into a single, continuous program, leading to both degrees (also see Sections 1.2and 2.1.3).1.1.4 Degree Students - Regular StudentsRegular degree students must satisfy all requirements for admission and be accepted by theGraduate School and the Civil Engineering program.1.2Admissions Requirements for Degree StudentsAll applicants seeking admission to the Graduate programs in Civil Engineering must have anundergraduate grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.8 on a 4.0 scale. Applicants who havebeen awarded a baccalaureate degree from an Engineering Accreditation Commission ofAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET/EAC) engineering program are notrequired to submit Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores for consideration for admission to theGraduate programs in Civil Engineering.Applicants who hold non-ABET accredited engineering degrees must have a combined verbaland quantitative scores on GRE as follows: 300 for Master’s and 315 for PhD degree applicants.No minimum requirements exist for the analytical portion of GRE.An applicant whose native language is other than English must score at least 550 on paper-basedTOEFL, 213 on computer-based TOEFL, 80 on internet-based TOEFL, or 6.5 on IELTS.Applicants who have been awarded Bachelor’s degrees in fields other than civil engineering,such as physical sciences, should contact the Director of Graduate Studies for consultation priorto application. These students may be able to be admitted to the CE graduate program based onan evaluation of their background.Graduate applicants with a non-engineering background should be aware that they may not beable to obtain a Professional Engineer (PE) license with their MSCE or PhD. Students with anundergraduate major other than Civil Engineering may also be required to take undergraduateremedial courses in consultation with their advisor and the Director of Graduate Studies.Students seeking admission to the University Scholars Program may apply for entry to theprogram after completing at least 90 credit hours of the undergraduate Civil Engineeringcurriculum including all UK Core requirement courses. No less than 30 of these credit hoursmust be in CE prefix courses. The students must also have an overall undergraduate GPA noless than 3.2, and a GPA no less than 3.5 for all CE prefix courses at the time they apply for2

admission to the program. Students in the University Scholars Program are exempt from theGRE requirement. This program is only available to the currently enrolled undergraduates onthe University of Kentucky campus.1.3Activities Prior to Admission1.3.1 Information on Available ProgramsInquiries about available programs should be addressed to the Director of Graduate Studies,Department of Civil Engineering. In addition to the application forms for admission and financialaid, information on Graduate Study and Research in Civil Engineering is available to potentialapplicants at http://www.engr.uky.edu/ce/.1.3.2 Graduate Record ExaminationApplicants who are required to submit GRE scores can find details on registering to take the testat https://www.ets.org/gre. The minimum scores for admission are 300 for Master’s and 315 forPhD degrees.Applicants without GRE scores or with GRE scores less than the required minimum may beadmitted conditionally if permission is received from the Director of Graduate Studies, and if it isapproved by the Dean of the Graduate School. Such students must then take the GRE and obtainat least the minimum passing score, or earn a GPA 3.0 or better after completing at least 9 credithours during their first semester on campus, or they will be dropped from the program.1.3.3 Test of English as a Foreign LanguageAn applicant whose native language is other than English must submit scores from the Test ofEnglish as a Foreign Language (http://www.ets.org/toefl). The minimum acceptable score is atleast 550 (paper-based TOEFL) or 213 (computer-based TOEFL) or 80 (internet-based TOEFL)or 6.5 (IELTS). The At-Home Testing results are not acceptable.1.3.4 Application for AdmissionApplicants for admission as regular students who reside in the United States, must submitcomplete applications with accompanying materials online to the Graduate School at least onemonth before the beginning of the semester in which the applicant intends to begin graduatework. Applicants from outside the United States must apply by April 15 for Fall admission, andSeptember 15 for the Spring semester. Sending the original application materials directly to theCE Department will only delay the admission process.Applications for admission to the Graduate School as a University Scholar should also completean additional form available from the Graduate School, which must be approved by the Directorof Graduate Studies, the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies, and the Dean of GraduateSchool. The application for the University Scholars program should be submitted before enteringthe senior year.3

Applications for admission to the Graduate School as a post-baccalaureate student should be onfile in the Graduate School Admissions Office at least 30 days in advance of the registration dateof the semester in which the student plans to enroll.Post-baccalaureate students who wish to apply for a graduate program must have a minimum 3.0grade-point average on all work attempted as post-baccalaureate students. Application to theprogram should be made to the Graduate School Admissions Office by the calendar deadlines.Post-baccalaureate students have one month after the start of a semester to be admitted to adegree program in the Graduate School. After this time a student must wait until the followingsemester. Permission to enter any graduate class as a post-baccalaureate student will be grantedonly if the student meets the prerequisites and if space is available.1.3.5 Applicants with Non-CE BackgroundStudents whose undergraduate program was not in Civil Engineering should be aware that theymay also be required to take undergraduate remedial courses prior to graduating, in order to meetthe minimum background expected of graduate Civil Engineers. This will be decided inconsultation with the student’s faculty advisor and the Director of Graduate Studies. Theseremedial course hours may not count towards fulfilling graduate credit hour requirements.These include four (4) courses to be decided by the student’s advisory committee or the Directorof Graduate Studies. These four courses should be selected from at least three (3) of thefollowing civil engineering areas: civil engineering materials, construction engineering andmanagement, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, humanitarian engineering,hydraulics and water resources engineering, structural engineering, and transportationengineering.Graduate students admitted under this option should also understand that satisfying the aboverequirements might not fulfill the Professional Engineering registration requirements inKentucky or other states. Listed below are the minimal ABET/EAC degree requirements. Astudent who completes these requirements may request a waiver from the state in which they areseeking licensure. Graduate students who complete the minimal ABET/EAC requirements andthe master’s degree requirements may be supported in their petition to waive the ABET/EACdegree requirement by the Department of Civil Engineering. If such a waiver petition issuccessful, the student will be permitted to take the Fundamentals in Engineering/Engineer inTraining (FE/EIT) exam. Passing the FE/EIT exam allows the engineer-in-training to take theProfessional Practice exam.ABET/EAC Professional Components General(a)One year of a combination of college level mathematics and basic sciences(some with experimental experience) appropriate to the discipline.(b) One and one-half years of engineering topics, to include engineering sciencesand engineering design appropriate to the student’s field of study.(c)A general education component that complements the technical contents ofthe curriculum and is consistent with the program and institution objectives.4

Civil Engineering (in review for possible revision/expansion of requirements)(a)Proficiency in mathematics through differential equations, probability andstatistics, calculus-based physics, and general chemistry.(b) Proficiency in a minimum of four recognized major civil engineering areas.(c)Ability to conduct laboratory experiments and to critically analyze andinterpret data in more than one of the recognized major civil engineeringareas.(d) Ability of perform civil engineering design by means of design experiencesintegrated throughout the professional component of the curriculum.(e)Understanding of professional practice issues such as: procurement of work;bidding versus quality based selection processes; how the design professionalsand the construction professionals interact to construct a project; theimportance of professional licensure and continuing education; and/or otherprofessional practice issues.1.3.6 Application for Financial AidThe UK Graduate School’s website lists numerous financial support opportunities, and allqualified students are encouraged to apply. Information about fellowships internal to UK can befound at http://gradschool.uky.edu/fellowships. Information about external fellowships can befound at https://gradschool.uky.edu/external-funding.The Department of Civil Engineering offers assistantships (teaching assistantship and researchassistantship) and fellowships to graduate students. Subject to funding availability, they areawarded on the basis of merit and in consultation with faculty advisors, Director of GraduateStudies, and the Department Chair.1.4Activities Following Admission but before Beginning of Class Work1.4.1 Assignment of a Faculty AdvisorThe Director of Graduate Studies serves as the initial advisor to each student majoring in CivilEngineering during the first semester. However, it is very important for the graduate student towork very closely with a faculty advisor in his/her area of interest as soon as possible. Inconsultation with the student’s advisor, the student should form an advisory committee by thesecond semester in compliance with the Graduate School rules.1.4.2 Program PlanningBefore or immediately upon arrival on campus, all students should begin to plan their detailedprograms of study in consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies and their faculty advisor.Such planning at this early stage is rather informal and subject to future modification. If acomplete program cannot be worked out at this time, the courses to be taken during the firstsemester should be selected, while the student is working on getting the rest of the course planapproved by the student’s advisor.1.4.3 Classification and RegistrationNew and readmitted students register during the week prior to the start of classes. See Scheduleof Classes from UK Registrar’s website for dates and deadlines. New students are informed of5

the dates at the time of acceptance. Continuing students who failed to priority register as well asnew and readmitted students who applied after the deadline, must late register during the firstweek of classes.1.5Activities after Enrollment1.5.1 Proposed ProgramAll graduate students, in consultation with their designated faculty advisors, should prepare andobtain approval for a proposed program. This should be accomplished as early as possible in thestudent's program, and in no case later than the advance registration for the second semester ofgraduate studies. The primary purpose of this effort is to help all students precisely define theireducational objectives, and to assure that they are fully aware of university and departmentaldegree requirements. In addition, it serves to commit the department to what it considers to bean acceptable program for each student. It should be emphasized that the academic work plancan, and often will, be changed as the student progresses.1.5.2 Priority RegistrationPriority registration is for continuing students only. Current students must priority (advance)register; failure to do so incurs a penalty for late registration. This rule applies to students inpost-baccalaureate status as well as to students in degree programs. All students are assigned aregistration window. Before registering, graduate students should obtain approval of theproposed schedule from their advisor. The advance registration period provides a goodopportunity for periodic reevaluation of the student's program of instruction.1.5.3 Academic ProgressAll graduate students should regularly update their advisors regarding course and researchprogress, as well as plans for future.1.5.4 ReadmissionA student, who does not enroll for a semester during an academic year, must apply to theGraduate School for readmission by the stated deadline before subsequent enrollment will bepermitted. A student who has been inactive for a regular semester, but who is in good academicstanding and has been enrolled in a graduate program within the previous three regularsemesters, may request and will be granted full readmission by the Graduate School.A student who is admitted to a graduate program, but unable to matriculate in the specified term,may request a one-year deferment. Depending on the circumstances, the CE Department may ormay not grant such a deferment.1.5.5 Incomplete GradesAll incomplete grades must be removed from the student's record before scheduling the FinalExamination and the awarding of a degree. Removal may be accomplished in two ways: Complete the requirements for the course and receive a letter grade, or6

Provide the Dean of the Graduate School with letters from the student's advisor orthe Committee Chair and the Director of Graduate Studies, stating that theincomplete course is no longer part of the student's program.An incomplete grade "I" will automatically be changed to a failing grade "E" if not removed orchanged within a year from the date when the grade was assigned.1.5.6 Repeat OptionA graduate student may elect to repeat a graduate course and count only the second grade as partof the graduate grade point average. The Repeat Option may only be exercised once. Thestudent must file a Repeat Option Form through the Graduate School. The original grade doesnot figure into the GPA. A request to exercise the repeat option must be made prior to graduationfrom the program. The repeat option cannot be used to remove an “E” grade assigned as theresult of an academic offense.1.5.7 Scholastic ProbationWhen students have completed 9 or more semester hours of graduate coursework with a GPA ofless than 3.0, they will be placed on scholastic probation and are subject to dismissal from theprogram. Students will have one full-term semester or the equivalent (9 hours) to remove thescholastic probation by attaining a 3.0 cumulative GPA.1.5.8 Admission to CandidacyRegular admission to a master's degree program constitutes admission to candidacy for thatdegree. Admission to candidacy for the PhD degree is automatically granted when the studentpasses the Qualifying Examination.1.5.9 Application for DegreeTo be eligible for a degree, the student must file an application at the Graduate School within 30days before the semester in which he or she expects to graduate (15 days in the summer session).The student must file the application in the myUK portal.1.5.10 Time Limits for DegreesMaster’s Degree. Activities used to satisfy degree requirements must be completed within eightyears preceding the proposed date of graduation. Extensions of time will be considered by theGraduate Council only upon written recommendation by the student’s advisor and endorsementby the Director of Graduate Studies.Doctoral Degree. All degree requirements for the doctorate must be completed within five yearsfollowing the semester or summer session in which the candidate successfully completes theQualifying Examination. In the event that all degree requirements are not met during the fiveyear period, degree candidates who provide evidence of the likelihood of completing the degreeduring an extension of time may be granted such an extension by the Graduate Council. Requestswill be considered only upon written recommendation of the student’s advisor and endorsed bythe Director of Graduate Studies. Upon favorable review, an extension of no more than fiveyears may be granted. NOTE: The Graduate School may require the student to take and pass asecond Qualifying Exam.7

1.6Course Load1.6.1Regular SemesterA full-time student is one enrolled in nine or more semester hours of work. The maximum loadpermitted during any semester is 15 semester hours (16 semester hours for University Scholars).Full-time graduate assistants (TA or RA), whose services to the University requireapproximately 20 hours per week, may take no more than 10 credit hours per semester. Thismaximum may be increased to 12 hours for students with lighter service loads uponrecommendation of the Director of Graduate Studies and approval of the Dean of the GraduateSchool. The maximum course load for part-time graduate assistants varies with the number ofworking hours.Persons holding full-time working or professional assignments, whether employed by theUniversity or not, may take no more than six credit hours per semester. Under certaincircumstances, students may petition for a waiver of this rule by submitting letters of supportfrom their employers and academic advisors.1.6.2 Summer TermSummer graduate course offerings are limited, and students are encouraged to consult with theiradvisor about their summer course plans.1.7Program and Course Offerings1.7.1 Faculty and SpecialtiesFaculty members of the Department specialize in a wide range of subdisciplines in civilengineering such as structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering,construction management, transportation, materials, and water resources.
