Welcome to the Big Blue Nation.

Our events are designed to introduce you to what's possible at the University of Kentucky. Whether you're traveling to Lexington or we're bringing the Big Blue Nation to your town, we're excited to connect with you!

Which on-campus program should I attend? Big Blue Open Houses include a college resource fair, campus tour options and college sessions, making them a great way to visit campus for the first time. If you're looking for a visit on a specific day and the ability to register in advance for college- or major-specific programs, a visit through our Visitor Center is a great option!

Admitted Student Days in the spring are a good option for admitted students, regardless of whether you have visited campus before.

Does UK host off-campus events? In the fall, we'll host UK Previews in a number of cities in and outside Kentucky. Prospective students and families can learn about how to apply for admission, scholarships and housing. 

In the spring, we'll visit a number of cities across the region for our Admitted Student Celebrations, where admitted students can learn more about next steps after admission!

Admitted Student Days

Your Admitted Student Day event on the University of Kentucky campus will allow you to learn more about your next steps, gather valuable advice from current students in your anticipated area of study, and tour campus. Admitted Student Days do not replace the need to register for and attend BBN Orientation.

Admitted students will log in with the email address and password they used when applying to UK.

Admitted Student Celebrations

Admitted Student Celebrations are 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.

Locations are still being added for spring 2025. Registration is already open for some cities with more to come!
