The Official Guide to Living on Campus 2015/2016

A Publication by Undergraduate Housing and Residence Life, Living Learning Program, UK Dining, and The UK Plus Account

An Equal Opportunity University www.uky.edu/Housing Dear Residents, Welcome to the University of Kentucky! We are glad you have made the smart choice to live on campus. Research and years of experience have proven that students who live on campus tend to do better academically and graduate sooner. We think you’ll be very pleased with the services and opportunities that are available to you in the residence halls and dining facilities. This handbook provides information about all these services. In addition, it will give you information about the policies that govern life in the residence halls.

Because you are sharing your living space with hundreds of other students, you will encounter new situations and learn a great deal about yourself and others. This handbook will help you understand how to live together safely and peacefully by clarifying the rights and responsibilities each of you accepted when you signed your housing contract.

This handbook is the official statement of residence hall policies and procedures, and is incorporated into your housing contract by reference. It is important that you read it and keep it accessible so that you will be fully informed of the expectations we have of students who live on campus.

We hope all of your important questions are covered in this booklet. However, as always, we welcome you and your family to visit our offices, contact us by phone or visit our Web sites for additional information. We know you’ll love living and learning on campus and we hope you have a great year! Sincerely,

- The Staff of Residence Life and Undergraduate Housing, Living Learning Program, and The UK Plus Account Office

1 1 The Office of Residence Life is strongly committed to diversity and inclusion. Commitment A vital part of the mission of Residence Life is to create communities where our students and staff represent diverse characteristics and backgrounds and where all members feel included. The creation of such communities is essential to Diversity to the personal growth of students and to their preparation for active, global citizenship. We believe students are most likely to succeed in an environ- ment where everyone is welcome and involved. We give students the opportunity to work and live with people from different backgrounds, and in the process, we encourage them to learn from one another in an atmosphere of mutual respect. We seek to foster this atmosphere through our employment of staff members from diverse backgrounds.

Academic supports include several Living Learning Communities, available in each facility, and access to The Study North located in the lower level of Champions Court I. Students living on north cam- pus have the best of both worlds — they are in close proximity to state-of-the-art academic support and they’re in walking distance to many downtown attractions, Rupp Arena, Memorial Coliseum, Whitehall Classroom Building, Singletary Center for the Arts, the Student Center, retail shops, and lots of great places to eat!

CENTRAL ACADEMIC SUPPORT ZONE The Central Academic Support Zone, located in UK’s central neighborhood, is the place to be for students who want to be near the W.T. Young Library. Students living in Central I, Central II, and Haggin halls can walk right out of their residence halls and cross the street to access the library of the Commonwealth. Honors students abound in this area of campus because the Honors Pro- gram is housed in the lower level of Central II. Additionally, students are close to the science and medical complexes and dining facilities. The beautiful courtyards make it the perfect place to relax, have lunch, hangout with friends, or open a laptop and study.

SOUTH ACADEMIC SUPPORT ZONE The South Academic Support Zone is part of UK’s south neighborhood, which is home to several residence halls offering both suites and traditional-style rooms: The Kirwan Blanding Complex, Baldwin, Ingels, Smith, and Woodland Glen I, II, III, IV and V. Many of these residence halls in- clude Living Learning Communities. Students who want to take a break from studying have the Johnson Recreation Center, Common- wealth Stadium, Lancaster Aquatic Center, tennis courts, and UK’s baseball and soccer fields all within very close proximity, not to mention the wonderful UK Arboretum is nearby. Delicious dining options are also close by.
