UK Campus Housing will begin accepting Housing and Dining applications for the 2025-2026 academic year on September 9, 2024. Returning students will be able to access the application and contract within the housing portal of myUK on that date. We encourage all students to apply for Campus Housing.
Update from UK Campus Housing
1. Explore Your Options
Explore the housing website to learn more about living on campus options and employment or leadership opportunities with Residence Life that might determine your residence location. While spaces in other halls will be designated for returners, Boyd Hall and University Flats are two of the residence halls on our campus that feature apartment-style living and were specifically designed with upper class students in mind.
Room Selection for returners will be conducted in waves beginning the week of October 7.
2. Start Your Application
Applying early for housing is strongly encouraged. Complete the housing application in the housing portal of myUK following these instructions:

3. Level up your success in an LLP
Visit the Living Learning Program page and decide if you would like to participate in an LLP. This is a decision that will impact where you will live on campus and determine housing application deadlines. Even if you participated in the LLP this year, returning students who wish to participate next academic year must still reapply to the LLP.

The following LLPs accept upper-level students:
- CI Connect
- Creative Arts
- Engineering
- First-Generation

- Interprofessional Healthcare Residential College (IHRC)
- Honors Residential Experience
- Participants must be admitted to the Lewis Honors College.
4. Complete Your Application

- Review the UK Housing and Dining Contract (pdf) and share it with anyone involved in the financial aspects of your college decision. 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 contract will be signed when completing your Campus Housing and Dining Application within the Campus Housing portal of myUK.
