LEXINGTON, Ky. — As the University of Kentucky prepares for summer break, the institution is alerting students who remain on campus that numerous campus facilities and services will operate on adjusted schedules, according to an announcement on [UKNow, the university's news outlet](https://uknow.uky.edu/campus-news/campus-updates-summer-2026).

With the spring semester ending and the [12-week summer session running from May 18 through August 12](https://registrar.uky.edu/sites/default/files/2026-01/2025-2026-academic-calendar-university.pdf), UK anticipates that some students will depart Lexington while others stay for internships, summer courses or other reasons. The university has compiled a comprehensive list of resources for those remaining on campus.

Campus dining locations will offer adjusted hours throughout the summer months, with details available through [UK Dining's online portal](https://uky.mydininghub.com/en/locations). Students staying on campus have access to [summer housing options in Woodland Glen IV](https://wildcatliving.uky.edu/summer-housing), where residents may purchase Flex Dollars for dining rather than a traditional meal plan.

The university's library system will remain partially operational, with [some campus libraries maintaining summer hours](https://libcal.uky.edu/hours/). Fitness facilities including the Johnson Student Recreation Center will operate on adjusted schedules with group fitness classes, and the university offers [Campus Recreation Virtual](https://studentsuccess.uky.edu/campus-recreation/news/campus-recreation-virtual) for students preferring remote wellness options.

Key student support services will continue throughout the summer. The [Stuckert Career Center remains open](https://studentsuccess.uky.edu/stuckert-career-center) to assist students with career planning, while [BetterMynd provides free teletherapy sessions](https://studentsuccess.uky.edu/well-being/services/bettermynd) and the [Big Blue Pantry maintains adjusted hours](https://studentsuccess.uky.edu/financial-wellness/services/big-blue-pantry) for students experiencing food insecurity.

Additionally, parking passes remain required during summer break, and [UK Transportation Services will adjust bus routes and parking availability](https://transportation.uky.edu/news/summer-parking-transit-information-1). The university recommends students check specific websites for each service's updated hours before planning their summer activities.
