Onboarding is how we create an overarching experience for new students who are attending
the University of Wyoming for the upcoming fall semester. Instead of hosting a single
orientation day in the summer, we have created a three-part onboarding opportunity for you to get excited about your journey to UW along with informational and engaging
experiences that prepare you for college student life!
We'll be hosting a series of short webinars for families and new students to get specific details about resources for new students. You won't want to miss these!

As part of your journey to the University of Wyoming, we will be hosting virtual onboarding

your family to sit down together for short online sessions that cover all you need
to know including parking, student ID, and other services!
