Parents and Families

WELCOME WILDCAT FAMILY!

We are so glad that you and your student are interested in the University of Kentucky. At UK, we want the same thing you want: for students to succeed academically, grow personally, and have an enriching experience at the university. When students live on campus, they are more supported socially and academically, and tend to have higher GPAs than students living off-campus.

We are committed to supporting you and your student throughout their time at the University of Kentucky. We invite you to use the resources here to help answer the questions most frequently asked by residents and families.

To learn more about how you can support your student during their entire academic career, please visit the UK Parent and Family Association.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us at:

Confirmation Deadline Extended

The University of Kentucky is extending its confirmation deadline to May 15 for first-year incoming students who wish to enroll for the fall 2024 semester. This extension is due to federal delays associated with important financial aid information. (This deadline does not apply to international students or transfer students.) We will closely monitor other deadlines that may be impacted by this extension, including the housing application deadline, which remains June 1.
