UK 2021-2022 Housing Rates Approved by UK Board

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Dec. 18, 2020) University of Kentucky housing and dining rates will have a modest increase for the 2021-2022 academic year.

In its Dec. 15 meeting, the UK Board of Trustees approved the rate increase for university-constructed housing, which includes residence halls built before UK partnered with private company Greystar to construct and manage the bulk of UK’s residential beds. Rates for the Greystar-built and managed housing will increase by the same amount. 

Regular undergraduate housing rates reflect a 3% increase, while break housing and early move-in rates will increase by 3.6-3.8%. Graduate and apartment housing rates will increase by 3%, and the daily rate increase will be 2.3-3%.

All students living in undergraduate residence halls are required to purchase a dining plan with the exception of University Flats residence halls. The dining rates will also increase on an average of 3.1%.

As the state’s flagship, land-grant institution, the University of Kentucky exists to advance the Commonwealth. We do that by preparing the next generation of leaders — placing students at the heart of everything we do — and transforming the lives of Kentuckians through education, research and creative work, service and health care. We pride ourselves on being a catalyst for breakthroughs and a force for healing, a place where ingenuity unfolds. It's all made possible by our people — visionaries, disruptors and pioneers — who make up 200 academic programs, a $476.5 million research and development enterprise and a world-class medical center, all on one campus.

While our mission looks different in many ways than it did in 1865, the vision of service to our Commonwealth and the world remains the same. We are the University for Kentucky.
