Early Action Track Deadline for UK Housing Approaching

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 9, 2016) — Students who apply to the University of Kentucky on the Early Action Track and plan to live on campus must apply for housing by Monday, Feb. 15.

To start the application process, visit http://www.uky.edu/housing/undergraduate/how-to-apply.

All parts of the application, including the $50 application fee, must be submitted in order for the application to be considered complete. Students who meet the Feb. 15 deadline will know which residence hall they are living in by April 15. For students who applied to the university on the Regular Decision Track, the housing application is due May 1. Housing requests are processed on a first come, first served basis.

Benefits to living on campus include close proximity to classes and campus resources, higher retention rates and higher GPAs — hear what Erin Harville, a current student who lives on campus at UK, has to say. Students interested in the living learning programs (LLP) can also apply through the same housing application.
