Confirmation Waitlist for Summer and Fall 2023 Freshman Students
Confirmation Waitlist for Summer and Fall 2023 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, on May 8, 2023, the University transitioned to a waitlist for confirmation for first-year students for Summer and Fall 2023.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why has UK established a waitlist for first-year students?
The interest among incoming first-year students to be part of the Big Blue Nation this fall has been unprecedented.
To that end, on May 8, 2023, the University met capacity for our incoming first year class.
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. Students on the waitlist should consider other options for enrollment at other institutions in the fall. 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 but 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?
All students on the waitlist will be notified no later than June 15 if they will be removed from the waitlist.
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.
