Visiting Campus

Start Here to Plan Your Visit

We're eager to help you make the most of your visit to campus during our event. Don't hesitate to contact us with questions!

Laramie offers a wide range of lodging accommodations that are close to campus and various amenities around town. Be sure to view UW's special hotel discounts for visitors!

From our robust downtown full of art and culture to the awe-inspiring landscape that surrounds campus, this is a perfect opportunity to explore all that Laramie has to offer.

If you arrive in Laramie early or stay an extra day to explore, we offer downloadable and interactive maps to help you navigate around campus.

Parking Information

There is FREE parking in the Ford Stadium Lot located directly behind the Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center (222 S. 22nd Street). Parking is available in any unmarked spot and we suggest parking near the northwest corner of the parking lot near War Memorial Stadium and the Indoor Practice Facility. You do not need a parking permit if you park in this lot. Any other lot requires a permit and is not recommended. UW Admissions is not responsible for any parking citations for this event. If you have a handicap placard, feel free to park in any accessible spot or call (307) 766-5126 in advance to discuss options.

New Student Day Checklist

Items to Complete Before Your New Student Day

To ensure a seamless New Student Day experience, students are encouraged to complete the following items in advance of their event.

If UW is your #1 choice, we encourage you to confirm your enrollment as soon as possible. Conformed students will be able to register for classes at their New Student Day event.

You can view your major under your name when you initially log in to your WyoRecords checklist. Email admissions@uwyo.edu at least a week before your New Student Day event if you need to update your major. If you are interested in double majoring or adding a minor, you do not need to do anything now. You can discuss this with your advisor this summer or fall.

If you have not taken the ACT/SAT, we recommend taking the Math Placement Exam at least four days prior to your New Student Day event to help your advisor recommend an appropriate math class.

If there is a red exclamation mark for this on your WyoWeb checklist, we need you to take the exam.
If you have a green checkmark, you do not need to take the placement exam.
A yellow triangle means you should discuss with your advisor the options for your math course.

Even though ACT/SAT scores are not required for admission, they are still helpful for math class placement. If you haven't sent us your ACT/SAT results yet, please have them sent to UW Admissions through your testing agency. You can also email a copy of your ACT/SAT score report to admissions@uwyo.edu. Please be sure it has your first and last name on it, includes the test date, and the score breakdown for each exam section.

Submit proof of your MMR immunizations through the Student Health Service Online Patient Portal.

This MUST be done before you are able to register for classes.

Fill out your housing application through your WyoRecords account, including your Living Learning Community (LLC) interest and select your meal plan.

Complete the Prepare for Registration checklist through your WyoRecords account by clicking on Register for Classes on the first two screens and complete all steps with a yellow triangle.

NOTE: This is different than your WyoWeb checklist when you initially login. This includes the following:

Opting in/out of UW health insurance coverage
Providing a UW Alert Cell Phone number
Updating contact information
Completing the Student Financial Responsibility Agreement

Please check your email regularly (including spam/junk/clutter folders) for important information about not only New Student Day but other important things leading up to your start at UW this fall.

If you initially applied to UW with your high school email address, please let us know a personal email (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) so we can update your account. We don’t want you to miss important emails that get caught in the spam filter or when your email gets shut off after graduation.

Download the Navigate Student app by EAB Global and use your UW login information to access your account.
