Frequently Asked Questions

Residence Life & Dining

To help them maximize their potential, the UW Trustees have established a policy requiring new students to live in UW residence halls during their first academic year on campus and to contract for a minimum of a 12-accesses-per-week dining plan.

The University of Wyoming offers many learning communities that provide students an opportunity to reside in close proximity with others who share similar interests. A Freshman Interest Group (FIG) is one such option. Students live on the same floor of a designated residence hall and attend various events with their FIG Residence Assistant (RA). Other floors or half-floors have special designations. For example, there are floors for engineering majors, honors students, first-generation students, Native Americans, Army ROTC, Airforce ROTC, all gender, female-only, or male-only. In addition, the Honors House is available to select students who turn in their housing contracts by a designated deadline.

For first-year students, Saddle Up is a required program that takes place one week before the the start of the semester. For current move-in dates, check the Residence Life and Dining website.

The current Washakie Dining Center hours and prices can be accessed at the Dining website.
