#BBNBOUND Freshmen
Freshman BBN Orientation Information
Big Blue Nation Orientation is the first step in your transition to enrolling as a student at the University of Kentucky. At your BBN Orientation, students will meet other students, hear from campus offices and organizations, meet with advisors and register for classes.
Note that international students have an additional orientation process managed by the UK International Center. Learn more about that timeline here.
