University of Kentucky's First Dual Credit Partnership Proposal to Undergraduate Council, 18 June 2013

June 17, 2013
TO: Undergraduate Council
FROM: Benjamin C. Withers
Interim Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education
RE: Dual Credit Agreement UK/FCPS for STEAM Academy
Please find under the cover of this letter materials pertaining to an application for a dual credit
offering of the course UK 110: College Readiness. This college-level, one-credit course was
specially created by Dr. Laurie Henry to be offered through the STEAM Academy, under the
administrative supervision of the UK College of Education. As noted in the MOA, the Fayette
County Public School system has agreed that it will count toward the student’s high school
graduation requirements.
Carrying college-level credit and meeting high school requirements, this course marks UK’s
first dual credit offering.
This opportunity for establishing a dual credit agreement, which aligns with several
institutional goals and supports the STEAM Academy project, was brought to my attention by
Dean of the College of Education and supported by faculty in that college. It has been my role
as interim Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education (APUE) to work with Dr. Henry and
the staff of the College of Education to ensure that the process and results are in accord with
University Policy (Senate Rules 3.2.0 and Senate Rules 4.2.1.3.4) and the procedures outlined
by the University Senate (details available at: http://www.uky.edu/UGE/dual_credit.html).
With this letter I attest that Dr. Henry and the staff in the College of Education have followed
the procedures outlined in the Senate documents. The supporting materials provided here
document the process as outlined under the “Lifecycle” section of the Senate guidelines.

Because the dual credit agreement centers on a course with a UK prefix (offered through
Undergraduate Studies rather than the College of Education), we have made sure that
approvals have been forthcoming from both deans.
1. Initial Contact
a. A formal letter from the FCPS Superintendent.
b. Dr. Henry’s Curriculum Vitae. (Because Dr. Henry is a member of the UK
faculty, we have not included transcripts as suggested in the Senate procedures).
c. The course syllabus and outline prepared by Dr. Henry.
d. The Memorandum of Agreement with the FCPS Superintendent’s signature.
2. Approval by the department and dean of the college
a. Approval for the use of UK 110 by the APUE/Dean of Undergraduate Studies.
b. A letter from Parker Fawson, chair of the Department of Curriculum and
Instruction, indicating that unit’s support as well as their assurances of
responsibility for following SACS requirements.
c. A letter from the Dean of the College of Education outlining their administrative
and financial support for the instruction.
The remaining step according to the Senate procedures is the approval of the Undergraduate
Council.

Final notes of emphasis:
 The “UK” prefix allows for faculty to propose a university wide course to be offered
through Undergraduate Education. Approval requires vetting by the Associate Provost
for Undergraduate Education. Nonetheless, we have made sure that this dual credit
agreement, which originated in the College of Education, has been approved through
that college.
 The dual credit offering is a college readiness course, a vital part of the curriculum of
the STEAM Academy. The Academy plans to create other, discipline-specific dual credit
offerings for students in upper high school grades. The course proposed here prepares
students for the expectations of college-level work and orients them to the services on
the UK campus.
 The precedent for offering a university-orientation/college readiness course through
Undergraduate Studies has been established through the regular scheduling of UK 101
and UK 201 through this unit.
 The particular course number UK 11o is variable title and experimental. It can be
offered only twice before a permanent number is created. Our plan is to create such a
number if this offering proves successful.

Final Exam
There is not a final exam.
Attendance Policy
Students are expected to attend ALL class sessions unless their absence is excused. Attending class is an important
part of succeeding in any course, especially a discussion-based course like UK 110.
Excused Absences
Students need to notify the professor of absences prior to class when possible. S.R. 5.2.4.2 defines the following as
acceptable reasons for excused absences: (a) serious illness, (b) illness or death of family member, (c) University-related
trips, (d) major religious holidays, and (e) other circumstances found by the professor to fit “reasonable cause for
nonattendance.” Students anticipating an absence for a major religious holiday are responsible for notifying the instructor

3
in writing of anticipated absences due to their observance of such holidays no later than the last day in the semester to
add a class. Information regarding dates of major religious holidays may be obtained through the religious liaison, Mr.
Jake Karnes (859-257-2754).
Students are expected to withdraw from the class if more than 20% of the classes scheduled for the semester are missed
(excused or unexcused) per University policy.
Verification of Absences
Students may be asked to verify their absences in order for them to be considered excused. Senate Rule 5.2.4.2 states
that faculty have the right to request “appropriate verification” when students claim an excused absence because of
illness or death in the family. Appropriate notification of absences due to University-related trips is required prior to the
absence.
Academic Integrity
Per University policy, students shall not plagiarize, cheat, or falsify or misuse academic records. Students are expected
to adhere to University policy on cheating and plagiarism in all courses. The minimum penalty for a first offense is a zero
on the assignment on which the offense occurred. If the offense is considered severe or the student has other academic
offenses on his or her record, more serious penalties, up to suspension from the University, may be imposed.
Plagiarism and cheating are serious breaches of academic conduct. Each student is advised to become familiar with the
various forms of academic dishonesty as explained in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Complete
information can be found at the following website: http://www.uky.edu/Ombud. A plea of ignorance is not acceptable as
a defense against the charge of academic dishonesty. It is important that you review this information as all ideas
borrowed from others need to be properly credited.
Part II of Student Rights and Responsibilities (http://www.uky.edu/StudentAffairs/Code/part2.html) states that all
academic work, written or otherwise, submitted by students to their instructors or other academic supervisors, is
expected to be the result of their own thought, research, or self-expression. In cases where students feel unsure about
the question of plagiarism involving their own work, they are obliged to consult their instructors on the matter before
submission.
When students submit work purporting to be their own, but which in any way borrows ideas, organization, wording or
anything else from another source without appropriate acknowledgement of the fact, the students are guilty of
plagiarism. Plagiarism includes reproducing someone else’s work, whether it be a published article, chapter of a book, a
paper from a friend or some file, or something similar to this. Plagiarism also includes the practice of employing or
allowing another person to alter or revise the work which a student submits as his/her own, whoever that other person
may be.
Students may discuss assignments among themselves or with an instructor or tutor, but when the actual work is done, it
must be done by the student, and the student alone. When a student’s assignment involves research in outside sources
of information, the student must carefully acknowledge exactly what, where and how he/she employed them. If the
words of someone else are used, the student must put quotation marks around the passage in question and add an
appropriate indication of its origin. Making simple changes while leaving the organization, content and phraseology intact
is plagiaristic. However, nothing in these Rules shall apply to those ideas which are so generally and freely circulated as
to be a part of the public domain (Section 6.3.1).
Please note: Any assignment you turn in may be submitted to an electronic database to check for plagiarism.
Accommodations Due to Disability
If you have a documented disability that requires academic accommodations, please see me as soon as possible. To
receive accommodations in this course, you must provide me with a Letter of Accommodation from the Disability
Resource Center (Room 2, Alumni Gym, 257-2754, jkarnes@email.uky.edu) for coordination of campus disability
services available to students with disabilities.
