Below you'll find Key Events for K Week 2026! Beyond the Key Events, many student organizations host open houses, information sessions, and fun get-togethers, so you’ll want to check out all those offerings on the UK Guides app in August 2026 to see what interests you!
Since it is the second step of the orientation process to UK, all new students are expected to attend K Week and have the opportunity to customize their experience by creating a schedule that reflects their needs and interests.
Be sure to bring your WildCard student ID and BBNvolved Event Pass as attendance will be taken at many events.
When you’re not attending K Week events, we encourage you to explore campus and Lexington, stop by UK Bookstore to pick up any textbooks and school supplies you might need, and connect with others living around you. This time prior to the first day of classes is meant to ease your transition to the UK community and help you feel more comfortable on our campus!
Take a look at the key events for the K Week 2026 schedule below! If you have any questions about the 2026 K Week schedule, please feel free to reach out to us at k-week@uky.edu.
