Returning Students Applying for Housing

Explore the housing website to learn more about living on campus options and employment or leadership opportunities with Residence Life that might determine your residence location. While spaces in other halls will be designated for returners, Boyd Hall and University Flats are two of the residence halls on our campus that feature apartment-style living and were specifically designed with upper class students in mind. 

Room Selection for returners will be conducted in waves beginning the week of October 13.

Applying early for housing is strongly encouraged. Complete the housing application in the housing portal of myUK following these instructions:

• Go to myUK (myUK.uky.edu)
• Log in using your linkblue username and password
• Select Student Services
• Select myInfo
• Select Campus Housing to be taken to the Campus Housing portal
• Select Undergraduate Application
• Choose the correct Term and click Apply

Visit the Living Learning Program page and decide if you would like to participate in an LLP.  This is a decision that will impact where you will live on campus and determine housing application deadlines. Even if you participated in the LLP this year, returning students who wish to participate next academic year must still reapply to the LLP.  

• Pay the $50 non-refundable application fee.
• Review the UK Housing and Dining Contract (pdf) and share it with anyone involved in the financial aspects of your college decision. This contract is legally binding for the full academic year, which consists of both the fall and spring semesters, and cancellation penalties do apply. If you are under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian will need to sign the contract. The contract will be signed when completing your Campus Housing and Dining Application within the Campus Housing portal of myUK.
  • Note: Your application is not considered complete until the $50 non-refundable application fee has been paid and the Housing and Dining Contract has been signed.
  • Cancellation Fees: Returning students must cancel their Housing and Dining Application and Contract for the 2026-27 academic year within the housing portal of myUK by February 28, 2026 to avoid cancellation fees. Please see the Housing and Dining Application and Contract for a complete list of cancellation fees.
• Upload proof of meningitis vaccination via the self report tool.
• Choose a dining plan.
• Submit your roommate request if you have one.
• Review your application summary to verify details are correct.
