What to Expect as you Prepare to Attend UW

Welcome to the University of Wyoming! We're so excited to have you join our community. To help you feel prepared and confident, we've designed a three-part onboarding experience: New Student Days in the spring, a Webinar Series through the summer and the mandatory college introduction course, "Saddle Up" in August. Each step is designed to help you connect, learn and get ready for life at UW. We can’t wait to see you on campus!

Visit Us Your Way

As you prepare to start your journey at the University of Wyoming, we invite you to explore campus and start getting familiar with your new home. Visiting before the semester begins—whether in person or through our virtual tour—is a great way to build confidence, learn your way around and start picturing yourself as part of the UW community. This is your time to settle in, get excited and start making UW your own.
