Saddle Up will allow our first-year, full-time students to arrive early to campus ahead of the fall semester. That's right! You'll get to settle into the residence halls over one week early. Students will arrive on move-in day to check in, move into the halls, and partake in a college preparation camp. Saddle Up consists of required programming and coursework, as well as optional activities and community-building events before fall classes begin on August 26.

First-year, full-time students who have received an exemption from living in the UW residence halls will still be required to participate in programming and meals during the full week of Saddle Up. Meals during the week of Saddle Up for these students can be found on our costs page.

Convocation will take place on the afternoon Friday, August 23 in the A&S Auditorium. Faculty are welcome to attend and celebrate our incoming class!

 

MOVE-IN DETAILS

 

Move-In Day

 

Two students stand together in front of the Honors House

Check in at a Saddle Up station.

Students living on campus check in at the Saddle Up tent on Washakie Green.

After Saddle Up check-in, you may begin moving into your room and unpacking. 

Parents and family members looking for a place to relax and recharge are welcome to take advantage of our Parent Basecamp! Aside from the many helpful resources available in the basement of Washakie during move-in, parents will have a space to unwind with refreshments in the company of other Cowboy parents. 


Living Off-Campus?

Students living off-campus check in at the Saddle Up tent on Washakie Green between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM on move-in day. After Saddle Up check-in, you'll be ready to get started!

We will be hosting an Off-Campus Mingle on Move-In Day, mimicking the first floor meeting that students in the halls experience. This is a great chance to get to know other students living off-campus! All off-campus students are required to attend this event.
