Confirmation Waitlist for Summer and Fall 2025 Freshman Students
Confirmation Waitlist for Summer and Fall 2025 Freshman Students
Thank you for your interest in joining the first-year class at the University of Kentucky this fall.
The interest among incoming first-year students to be part of the Big Blue Nation this fall has been unprecedented. To that end, the University has transitioned to a waitlist for confirmation for first-year students for Summer and Fall 2025.
Students may join the waitlist by completing the form below. Students will log in using the email address and password used they created when applying to UK.
Readmitted and transfer students continue to have the ability to both apply and confirm plans to attend UK. The confirmation waitlist applies only to first-time freshmen.
Common Questions
Is the waitlist in a ranked or numbered order?
No, the waitlist is not ranked. If space becomes available, those spaces will be offered based on the timing of completion of the waitlist form.
Should I confirm at another institution?
We are unable to predict waitlist decisions, although we are moving as quickly as possible to make admissions decisions if and when space becomes available.
If a student is moved off the waitlist, we will notify them as soon as possible so they may make an informed decision.
How likely is it that I will be moved off the waitlist?
We are unable to predict waitlist decisions. We will communicate with students as soon as possible if they are moved off the waitlist and provided an opportunity to confirm (register for Big Blue Nation Orientation).
When is the latest I would hear back on whether I will be moved off the waitlist?
Because this process is dependent on many factors, we don’t have a definitive timetable for when waitlist offers may be made.
Is Housing still available on campus?
On-campus housing is on a first-come, first-served basis. Housing options will be addressed at the time we make decisions on the confirmation waitlist.
