How to Apply

Read through the Before You Apply page prior to beginning your University of Kentucky Campus Housing and Dining Application and Contract. 

Launch and access your UK Campus Housing and Dining Application and Contract 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

Pay close attention to the following deadlines to ensure you fully complete your Campus Housing and Dining Application and Contract on time. We strongly encourage you to complete the Campus Housing and Dining Application and Contract as soon as possible after receiving your UK acceptance letter. The earlier you apply, the more likely you are to have your housing preferences met. 

*Room Selection for any applicant is based on housing application completion date and space availability. Learn more about the Room Selection process here. 

**Eligibility to participate in LLP Room Selection requires you to accept the Living Learning Program (LLP) offer via the Campus Housing portal. Instructions on how to accept your LLP offer and answers to some commonly asked LLP-related questions can be found here.

***If you accept an offer to join UK’s Living Learning Program (LLP), select a bed space within the LLP and decide to decline the offer later, you will automatically be released from the LLP room assignment and receive a new time slot to select an appropriate space during non-LLP room selection beginning the week of June 2. 

Next, you will be led through a series of tabs that will help us learn more about you and your housing preferences. Be prepared to:

• Answer questions about your living and roommate preferences
• Decide whether or not to participate in a Living Learning Program (LLP) 

Living Learning Program (LLP) – Choose whether you would like to be involved in the Living Learning Program at UK. A Living Learning Program, or LLP, is a group of students with similar majors or interests who live in a specific residence hall. Since deciding to be in an LLP will determine where you will live on campus, it is important that you consider this decision early in the housing application process and pay close attention to deadlines that apply directly to LLP students. Visit the Living Learning Program website to learn more about the LLP offerings for the 2025-2026 academic year. 

Steps to joining an LLP:

• On the LLP Preferences tab within the housing application, choose up to three (3) LLPs and complete the essay question (if required)
• Receive LLP Offer via your UK email address
• Accept the LLP Offer by May 22, 2025

Upload proof of meningitis vaccination via the self report tool.

Review and electronically sign the UK Campus Housing and Dining Contract within the Campus Housing portal of myUK. 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 detailed contract and cancellation policy can be viewed by clicking here.

Pay the $50 non-refundable application fee. This fee is required for your application and contract to be considered complete and to move forward in the process. To pay your application fee online, go to the Application Fee page within your Campus Housing portal of myUK.

Review the UK Dining Plans offered and select the best option for you. A dining plan must be selected or you will be assigned the default plan.

• If you have a specific roommate you would like to live with, you will be able to search and confirm your roommate within the Roommate Requests section of the Campus Housing Application accessed via myUK. (Reminder: Students participating in an LLP are expected to room with another student in the same LLP.)
• If you do not have a roommate(s) to request, the roommate questionnaire you completed within your Campus Housing application will help you find other students with similar interests who could be a potential roommate(s). During Room Selection, you and other students without roommates will be able to see the profile information you submitted as part of your application, if you have chosen to display this information.

Review your Application Summary within the Campus Housing portal of myUK to verify that your details are correct and select the "confirm" button. 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.
