Residence Life Frequently Asked Questions

RAs share their contact information with each of their residents. But a resident can also stop by the hall’s front desk to connect with their RA. For your RD, their office is near the front desk, or you can find their contact details on our staff page.

Submit a maintenance request through the online system called FIXIT. For urgent issues, also let the front desk know immediately.

Visit our Break Housing section to review opening and closing dates.

Several halls remain open during academic breaks to accommodate our students. We highly recommend that students choose to live in one of those break housing facilities if they wish to remain on campus during academic breaks. Space may be limited, and housing may not be able to accommodate any temporary moves to an open facility during a break. Talk to your Resident Director or the housing assignments office for more details (UKhousing@uky.edu). 

All events in the residence halls and on campus can be found on BBNvolved. Visit BBNvolved to stay updated and involved.

Your student can talk to their Resident Advisor for peer support and information on social activities. The counseling center also offers resources for students adjusting to college life. Encourage participation in residence hall and campus events by visiting BBNvolved.

For wellness checks, please contact the UK Police Department at (859) 257-UKPD (8573). They will conduct a welfare check and offer appropriate support.

We prioritize safety with secure building access, on-call staff, and safety escort services. More information is available in our Campus Safety section.

Try to resolve the issue through communication or seek mediation assistance from your Resident Advisor (RA). For ongoing conflicts, consult your Resident Director (RD) or utilize our Roommate Contract Agreement.

Report issues to your Resident Advisor (RA) or Resident Director (RD). In cases of immediate safety concerns, contact campus security or local authorities.

Contact Residence Life for concerns involving RA or RD staff. Detailed contact information for the Executive Team, including the RD's supervisor, is available on our staff page.
