And we’re united in a common cause: to create stronger communities across our Commonwealth and beyond and to do the transformative work that makes them thrive. This is what’s possible for you and we’re excited to see where your journey takes you.
Congratulations and Go Cats!
Confirm your enrollment by paying your orientation fee and enrollment deposit, then sign up for your Big Blue Nation Orientation. (Transfer students are assessed the orientation fee after participating in BBN Orientation; there is no enrollment prepayment for transfer students.)
If you’ve already registered for orientation, you can find your orientation date in myUK > Student Services > Admissions > BBN Orientation Registration. Expect BBN Orientation information in your mailbox 3-4 weeks before your date!
Every student needs a linkblue account to complete the confirmation process.
