Admitted First-Year Students

1. Login to WyoWeb

The WyoWeb portal will contain all of your main information, including enrollment, financial aid, and scholarships. First, you will need your username and password. To view your checklist, there will be a link in the WyoRecords section; it will prompt you to log in with your username and password to view your information. Need help creating a username and password? Check out this video!

2. Confirm your Enrollment

For first-year students entering in the fall semester, there is a $300 enrollment deposit that is due by May 1 at 11:59 p.m Mountain time. If your plans change, the $300 enrollment deposit is refundable by May 2 at 11:59 pm MDT. There are no refunds after May 1. Students admitted after May 1, the enrollment deposit is due within three weeks of your acceptance and is non-refundable. This deposit holds your place in the incoming class and notifies the University of your intention to attend.

_{*Please note that this must be done before signing up for housing and may take 24 hours to load to your account.}

3. Financial Aid and Scholarships

Students who would like to be considered for need-based financial assistance must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). FAFSA opens on October 1^st and you are encouraged to submit it prior to January 1^st (for fall semester) or November 1^st (for spring semester) to be considered for need-based aid and many of Wyoming’s scholarship programs. Financial Aid packaging will not begin until mid-January and information will be placed onto your WyoWeb account and mailed home in late spring. Visit the Financial Aid office for more information or phone (307) 766-2116. Students are encouraged to apply for UW scholarships at uwyo.edu/scholarships. Deadlines and additional applications exist for many scholarship opportunities.

4. Apply for Housing

First-year students are required to live in UW residence halls during their initial two semesters. Complete your housing contract through WyoWeb. Here you may choose a desired Freshman Interest Group (FIG), provide your preference for a specific building or floor, and be matched with a compatible roommate. The Housing Application is available starting late December-early January. For further information about housing, please contact Residence Life and Dining Services.

5. Take the Math Placement Exam (MPE)

Math class registration is based on your score on the math section of the ACT or SAT exam.  If you have not taken the ACT/SAT or would like to get placed into a higher math course than your results currently have you at, we recommend taking the Math Placement Exam.  You can view class placement based on ACT/SAT scores and find out more about the MPE at uwyo.edu/placement. The exam is proctored online so you can take it where you study best and you have two hours to complete it.

6. Get Ready for New Student Onboarding

Onboarding for new students includes attendance at one of our New Student Day events in the spring which allows you to take care of some pre-registration details for fall, our summer webinar series, and Saddle Up — which is a fall college preparation camp and is required for all incoming freshmen. This is your chance to connect with your academic advisor and fellow students, register for classes, and explore UW services.

7. Submit the MMR Form

All students must turn in their proof of the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccinations prior to course registration. Please visit the Student Health Immunization page for instructions. You will not be able to register for semester classes if you have not met this requirement. For further information about the MMR vaccination requirement, please contact Student Health Service.

8. Check your UW Email

Once you confirm enrollment, your UW email will activate. Please check your WyoWeb account often to access your e-mail account. This e-mail address will have important updates, student event, deadlines, and financial aid information.

9. Final Transcripts and Test Scores

Upon high school graduation or the last semester at your current institution, please have your final official transcripts sent to the UW Admissions Office. Any new test scores, AP/IB test results, and dual enrollment should also be sent to:
