We're so excited that you're admitted to the University of Kentucky - so we're bringing UK to you! 

The Admitted Student Celebration is designed to help you discover what is wildly possible at the University of Kentucky. Connect with UK Admissions staff to learn all about your next steps to joining our community, including information on housing, financial aid and orientation. You will also have the chance to meet other future Wildcats from your area.

Light appetizers and refreshments will be served. There is no fee to attend.

Click on a location below to see Admitted Student Celebrations in your area for Spring 2026. We hope to see you there! 

Don't see a city near you? We are adding locations and still want to celebrate you being admitted to UK and help with your next steps! Please find the admissions counselor for your area and reach out to let us know how we can help!
