Select a Question:
What must I do before orientation? - Top
Simply log in to your Destination You-W interactive checklist at wyoweb.uwyo.edu and follow the required steps on the second "Checklist" tab! This becomes available in October for students beginning class in January, and in February for summer and August entry students.
Should parents and families attend? - Top
Parents and families are welcome and find attendance very beneficial. Note that parents and students attend separate programming throughout the day, and parents do not attend a student's advising or class registration. Orientation programming is not designed for young children, so siblings attending may wish to bring quiet toys or books to keep them entertained.
Is it important to attend all the programming during my session? - Top
Yes, it is important for students to attend all the programming. You will complete all of the necessary tasks and meet your peers. Parents have the option to do what suits them best, however every session is valuable.
Do I have to take the Math Placement Exam? - Top
Most students without college-level transfer math credit do have to take the MPE to determine which college math and science classes they may enroll in.

Find details and sample problems online at www.uwyo.edu/mpe. The MPE is available online starting in May through your Destination You-W interactive checklist located at wyoweb.uwyo.edu.
