University of Kentucky Undergraduate Bulletin

2003-2004

 

DEAN OF STUDENTS OFFICE

The Dean of Students Office oversees many student organizations and assists individuals and groups in developing programs. Staff members are available to discuss personal, academic, and extracurricular concerns with students. The Dean of Students Office oversees the areas described below.

University Discipline

University of Kentucky students are citizens of two communities - the academic community and the city of Lexington. All students are subject to institutional disciplinary procedures when offenses are committed against the University or its community of scholars. The Code of Student Conduct adopted by the Board of Trustees, revised June 6, 2000, sets rules for student behavior which are consistent with the goals and purposes of this academic institution and establishes procedures which insure equality and fairness in dealing with all students. The Code of Student Conduct: Rules, Procedures, Rights and Responsibilities Governing Non-Academic Relationships, comprises Part I of Student Rights and Responsibilities. This publication also contains: Part II - "Selected Rules of the University Senate Governing Academic Relationships"; Part III - "Regulations Governing Time, Place, and Manner of Meetings, Demonstrations, and Other Assemblies"; Part IV - "Alcohol Policy"; and Part V - "Student Records." A printed copy may be requested from the Dean of Students Office, 513 Patterson Office Tower, and it is available on the Web at: http://www.uky.edu/StudentAffairs/Code.

While the University is a place where the search for truth is carried on through free inquiry, it is not a sanctuary for those who seek freedom from moral, social and legal obligations. As residents of Lexington, students have the same rights and responsibilities as other citizens.

Fraternities and Sororities

The University of Kentucky hosts 23 national fraternities and 18 national sororities. The undergraduate members are primarily responsible for operating these groups, with the assistance of a house director, local alumni and University advisors. The advisors are concerned with all areas of fraternity and sorority operations – recruitment, pledging, scholarships, housing, finance, leadership, personal growth and University involvement.

Sororities affiliated with the National Panhellenic Council hold a formal recruitment period the week prior to school opening in the fall. This is followed by open membership selection throughout the year for candidates to fill available vacancies.

Fraternities affiliated with the North American Interfraternity Conference host a recruitment week at the beginning of both the fall and spring semesters. Open recruitment takes place throughout the remainder of the school year.

Sororities and fraternities affiliated with the National Pan-Hellenic Council will announce individually their membership intake process during the semester. Pledging is not a prerequisite for membership.

Sororities and fraternities at the University of Kentucky follow the dictates of The Code of Student Conduct which prohibits student organizations from discriminating against any person due to race, color, or religious affirmation or belief.

The governing bodies for Greek life are the Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council and Pan-Hellenic Council comprised of representatives from each group on campus. The Inter-Greek Programming Assembly coordinates Greek service activities and chapter recognition.

The Office of Greek Affairs, the Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council and the Pan-Hellenic Council are located in 575 Patterson Office Tower. For more information, call (859) 257-3151 ; or, access the fraternity and sorority Web site at: http://www.uky.edu/StudentAffairs/Greek.

Religious Affairs

While the University does not directly sponsor religious activities, it both welcomes and supports the diverse religious traditions and organizations on campus. A member of the Dean of Students Office staff coordinates religious affairs and assists many religious organizations through a campus ministry and student organizations. Religious organizations on campus include: Bahá'í Association, Baptist Student Union, Campus Crusade for Christ, Canterbury Fellowship, Catholic Newman Center, Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship, Christian Student Fellowship, Church of Christ/CATS for Christ, Graduate Christian Fellowship, International Christian Fellowship, Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, Jewish Student Organization/Hillel Foundation, Lutheran Campus Ministry, Orthodox Christian Student Association, Presbyterian Campus Ministry, Unitarian Universalist, and United Methodist Center Wesley Foundation.

For more information contact the University Liaison, Dean of Students Office, 2 Alumni Gym, (859) 257-2754.

Health & Alcohol Education Programming Office

The mission of the Health & Alcohol Education Programming Office is to empower students within the UK community to make healthy lifestyle choices, particularly as it relates to alcohol. We offer a variety of resources that encourage responsible decision-making (including abstinence) that is low-risk to our students and the surrounding community. The CAUSE (College Alcohol Use Student Educators) peer education group implements programs campus-wide to educate UK students about making low-risk decisions. For more information about The CAUSE or to schedule a program, contact the Health & Alcohol Education Programming Office at (859) 257-9687.

UK Parent Association

The UK Parent Association welcomes all parents and guardians of UK students to its membership.

In addition, the association coordinates events for both students and families during Kentucky Welcome and Family Weekend. The Parent Association also keeps in touch with its members via the Cat Chat e-mail service. The Parent Association is coordinated through the Dean of Students Office. Contact the Parent Association at (859) 257-6597.

Disability Resource Center

The Disability Resource Center provides many services for students with disabilities. These include notifying faculty members of needed accommodations, scheduling priority, screening applicants for accessible parking permits, and coordinating campus arrangements to meet individual student needs. The Center acts as a liaison with state rehabilitation agencies.

A specialized program, the Lexington Volunteer Recording Unit, provides tape recordings for students with visual or learning disabilities.

Students with learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders and other disabilities frequently need academic accommodations, such as extended time on exams. Eligibility for these accommodations is based on current documentation of the disability that validates the need for the requested service. Course waivers are not considered reasonable accommodations, but course substitutions are occasionally approved. The request for substitution is evaluated on an individual basis with comprehensive and current disability documentation required. Requests for academic accommodations should originate at the Center.

All students with disabilities are urged to register with the Disability Resource Center and obtain information on the various types of assistance available to them. The office is located in 2 Alumni Gym. For more information, call (859) 257-2754 (voice/TDD).

Engaging Differences Site

The Engaging Differences Web site is focused on enhancing the quality of education and services provided to postsecondary students with disabilities on the University of Kentucky and Lexington Community College campuses. The Engaging Differences site contains: general information about accessibility guidelines, accommodation strategies, federal laws, and campus policy; a searchable database including links to services, experts, literature, and legal cases related to disability issues; links to discussion forums and listservs that facilitate conversations about disability issues; and stories that present varying perspectives on accommodation as well as provide disability-related information.

ACADEMIC OMBUD SERVICES

The Academic Ombud helps resolve academic disputes between students and faculty or administration. When students are unable to resolve grievances or complaints through usual means, the ombud may be able to expedite the process or advise the student about the proper procedures to follow. Problems include, but are not limited to, violation of students' academic rights, unfair teaching and grading practices, cheating and plagiarism, and discrimination and harassment. All cases are held in strict confidence.

The Office of Academic Ombud Services is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located in 109 Bradley Hall. For information, questions, or appointments, call (859) 257-3737.


ATHLETICS

The University of Kentucky sponsors athletic teams in both men's and women's sports and is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Southeastern Conference. The University fields representative teams in a variety of varsity sports: basketball, football, baseball, tennis, golf, track, soccer, swimming, and rifle for men; and basketball, golf, gymnastics, rifle, soccer, swimming, tennis, track, softball, and volleyball for women. These various teams provide wholesome entertainment for the student body, faculty, staff, alumni, and general public. Students interested in joining a team should contact the head coach's office in the sport of interest.

The Athletics Association helps support the band, cheerleaders, and the Student Athletic Committee; aids the Kentucky High School Athletic Association by supplying facilities for district, regional and state tournaments in all sports; offers athletic scholarships for a number of student athletes competing in its major sports; and provides grants to the University of Kentucky for academic scholarships.


EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION

The Office for Experiential Education advocates learning by experience in a real world setting. The Office assists UK students in bridging classroom theory with professional practice. All programs are elective and offered year-round. Current programs are Internships/Cooperative Education, Service-Learning, and Shadowing.

Students participate in Experiential Education for many reasons. Some wish to explore career alternatives and gain valuable work experience. Others participate in order to test theories they have learned in the classroom. Many students desire to gain self-confidence and develop communication and problem-solving skills as well as community awareness.

Through Internships/Cooperative Education, students earn academic credit by working in businesses, agencies, or other settings pertinent to their academic majors or career goals. Positions are semester-based; that is, they begin at the start of a semester and finish at semester's end; therefore, they should be arranged prior to the semester in which the student wants to begin. Full-time or part-time positions may be arranged in Lexington or other locations. Some positions are paid.

The UK Service-Learning Program encourages students and faculty to incorporate community service as part of the college experience.

The Shadowing Program is non-credit, giving students the opportunity to follow a working professional for a day. Information gained from this experience can be most helpful to students making career decisions.
