Welcome, Wildcats! Get Ready for K Week
K Week is almost here!
Are you ready for it? Check out what K Week has in store for you including new friendships with your K Crew, fun experiences at events, and your introduction to campus and traditions!
K Week is one of the biggest annual traditions at UK where students get to make their first memories on campus and discover their own unique path of belonging! The K Week schedule is designed to help you meet new people, find your classrooms and future study spots, learn about resources offered on campus, and get settled into new routines.
K Week 2026 will take place from Wednesday, August 19th through Sunday, August 23rd before the semester begins!
All new undergraduate students are expected to participate in K Week. Our K Team Leaders will guide you to events, offer advice from their own experiences as students, and will be by your side as you navigate the first few days of your UK journey. You will attend college meetings, department 'pick your path' events, and student organization welcome events where you can begin forming new relationships with faculty, staff, and other students across campus. Each day wraps up with a key event where you will be immersed in campus traditions, find social opportunities, get free food and swag, and engage with lots of fun entertainment!
K Week is the best way to start making UK feel like home – we’ll see you there!
