The University of Kentucky honors the following:
Resolution Regarding Graduate Scholars, Fellows, Trainees and Assistants
Adopted by the Council of Graduate Schools in the United States
"Acceptance of an offer of financial support (such as a graduate scholarship, fellowship, traineeship, or assistantship) for the next academic year by a prospective or enrolled graduate student completes an agreement that both student and graduate school expect to honor. In that context, the conditions affecting such offers and their acceptance must be defined carefully and understood by all parties." "Students are under no obligation to respond to offers of financial support prior to April 15; earlier deadlines for acceptance of such offers violate the intent of this Resolution. In those instances in which a student accepts an offer before April 15, and subsequently desires to withdraw that acceptance, the student may submit in writing a resignation of the appointment at any time through April 15. However, an acceptance given or left in force after April 15 commits the student not to accept another offer without first obtaining a written release from the institution to which the commitment has been made. Similarly, an offer made by an institution after April 15 is conditional on presentation by the student of a written release from any previously accepted offer. It is further agreed by the institutions and organizations subscribing to the above Resolution that a copy of this Resolution should accompany every scholarship, fellowship, traineeship, and assistantship offer."
Almost all fellowships are awarded beginning with the fall semester. There are virtually no fellowships that begin with the spring semester. Departments make fellowship nominations by February for the next academic year, so students interested in a fellowship should submit applications and all supporting documents before that time. Later applicants have a reduced chance of obtaining a fellowship. Notification regarding awarding of fellowships comes from the Graduate School by early May.
Notification of an assistantship comes from the department. Questions about the availability of positions and the status of assistantship applications should be addressed to the Director of Graduate Studies in the department a student seeks to enter.
Students should consult with the Director of Graduate Studies in the department they seek to enter for information regarding nomination for other research support funds that may be available from the Graduate School.
U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens may apply for federally supported loans and work-study assistance. To be considered, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available in the UK Student Financial Aid Office, 128 Funkhouser Building, Lexington, KY 40506-0054, (859) 257-3172, fax (859) 257-4398. Students may also apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov, or go to www.uky.edu/FinancialAid.
All full-time students must pay the student health fee in fall and spring semesters which entitles them to medical and mental health care at the University Health Service. For students who attend either of the summer sessions, the health fee is optional.
Part-time students may prepay the student health fee or may use the health service on a fee-for-service basis; the health fee may be paid at the Student Billing Office.
The University Health Service is located in the Kentucky Clinic across Rose Street from the University Hospital. All visits are made by appointment [(859) 323-2778]. The clinic is staffed by physicians, nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, and other health professionals who are specialists in the health problems of young adults.
Spouses of eligible students are eligible to receive their primary care at the health service. They are charged for all services rendered. Children and other family members are not eligible.
Services covered by the health fee include: unlimited visits to clinicians for illness or injury, routine laboratory services and x-rays ordered by the health service clinician as part of evaluation for an illness or injury, some medications, allergy shots and immunizations, and visits to the professionals in the Mental Health Service. For additional information, contact the University Health Service at (859) 323-5823.
The University of Kentucky has instituted a mandatory health insurance program for all international students. International students who are in F-1 and J-1 visa status will be charged for the UK Student Health Insurance Plan along with their tuition and fees. Students who have purchased health insurance in their home countries or are covered as a dependent on a U.S. plan may be eligible for a waiver. J-2 dependents who enroll in classes will be charged for the health insurance along with their tuition and fees. International students on a J-1 visa are required to purchase health insurance for all of their dependents. F-1 students are strongly encouraged to purchase health insurance for their dependents because of the extremely high cost of medical care. International students with questions about health insurance should contact the health insurance coordinator in the Office of International Affairs at (859) 257-4067 ext. 238.
The premium may be paid annually, semi-annually, or quarterly by check, Visa, or MasterCard. Student enrollment may be continued from one year to the next by re-enrolling within 14 days from the enrollment date. Although students are encouraged to enroll at the beginning of the school year, enrollment is available throughout the policy year.
The student insurance plan is a preferred provider organization (PPO), and UK Hospital and UK College of Medicine physicians are the preferred providers. When receiving treatment away from UK, you can expect significantly higher out-of-pocket costs. Additionally, the plan is an illness and injury plan only; it does not provide for preventive care or coverage of treatment in the absence of illness or injury, except as specifically provided in the policy.
Health insurance information packets for the upcoming school year are available in mid-July at the University Health Services. For further information and enrollment dates, call (859) 323-5823, ext. 230.
The current insurance plan is underwritten by the MEGA Life and Health Insurance Company.
Students who lose their UKID should report the loss immediately to the UKID Office (257-1378), the Diner/Plus Account Office (257-6159), or any Food Service location. The UKID is the property of the University of Kentucky and is to be returned to the Dean of Students upon termination of student status.
All counseling sessions are free, voluntary, and confidential. The services are available by appointment to fee-paying students enrolled for at least six semester hours. Graduate students enrolled for thesis or dissertation hours also are eligible
In addition to counseling with individual students, the Center offers couples (significant others) and group counseling. General counseling groups are ongoing and reconstituted each semester. Participants work on a variety of issues. There are also special focus groups such as Bridges (a support group for graduate African-American women), an eating disorders group, and a discussion group for LD/ADHD.
Appointments and further information may be obtained by calling (859) 257-8701 or by coming to the Center, 301 Frazee Hall
