LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 2, 2022) — The semester is coming to a close, and summer break is almost here!

Get a jump start on your summer with this helpful checklist:

  • Register for classes. Both Summer and Fall 2022 University of Kentucky classes are available. Register now soon to ensure you get the classes you need or want.
  • File your FAFSA. All students, first-year and beyond, should fill out the FAFSA each year. There's still time to apply!
  • Apply for housing. The housing application deadline is June 1. Apply before it’s too late!
  • A number of student resources housed in the Office for Student Success will remain available over the summer including:
    • The Stuckert Career Center: You can sign up for an in-person or virtual appointment, just book them via Handshake.
    • The Counseling Center: Students enrolled in six or more credit hours for Fall 2022 have access to the Counseling Center services over the summer.
    • Campus Recreation and Wellness: If you have a student membership, you can enjoy the benefits of Campus Recreation and Wellness all summer long.

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.   

In 2022, UK was ranked by Forbes as one of the “Best Employers for New Grads” and named a “Diversity Champion” by INSIGHT into Diversity, a testament to our commitment to advance Kentucky and create a community of belonging for everyone. 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.
