Moving into the Residence Halls is an exciting experience. To get ready, you can download our move-in brochure, which will be mailed to incoming students during the summer. Visit our room information page for a list of items to consider bringing, details about your room, and other tips for living on campus and move-in.
Before you arrive at the University of Wyoming, it is important to complete your pre-check-in. In order to complete your pre-check-in, first you will need to log in to your WyoWeb account. Next, on your checklist, select “Complete Housing Contract.” (If you do not have a checklist, go to the Student Resources tab and select the “Academic Year” link under the heading “Residence Halls: Contracts” in the Residence Life & Dining Services section.) Next click the pre-check-in link in the left menu. Lastly, you will need to click on and fill in each successive link (Vehicle, Medical, Emergency Contact, etc.).
When you arrive, you should check-in at the desk of your assigned hall to verify that you have arrived at UW, get access to your room and mailbox key
After physically checking in, a resident assistant (RA) will walk you to your room, ensure that the door access works, and then complete a room condition sheet with you. It is important for you to complete this process to ensure you are not charged for an improper checkout when you leave. A copy of the completed form is filed at the hall office for staff use.
Once you've visited your room with an RA, move your belongings from your vehicle to your room. Carts are available at the cart stations near White and Orr Halls. When you've moved your belongings into your room, please move your car to a remote lot (or "R" Permit lot if you have a permit) before unpacking and setting up your room.
The residence halls open for fall semester at 7 am on the Thursday prior to the first day of classes. Lunch is the first meal served.
The residence halls open for spring semester at 8 am on the Friday prior to the first day of classes. Lunch is the first meal served.
Early Arrival: The residence halls are in use for many programs during the summer months, and rooms will not be prepared until opening day.
