New Student Day Registration
April 17, 2026
Transfer students, this ones for you! Join us for this special New Student Day designed specifically for transfers.
What to Expect at New Student Day
New Student Days is designed to help you prepare for your first semester at UW. During the event, you'll meet with academic advisors, register for classes and get valuable insights into campus life.
Expect an engaging day filled with opportunities to explore the campus, learn about university resources and connect with other incoming students. You’ll also receive important information on what to do before the semester starts.
Planning your visit to UW
We’re excited to welcome you to Laramie for New Student Days! To make your visit as smooth as possible, be sure to review our helpful resources on parking, lodging and things to do in the area. Whether you're staying overnight or just visiting for the day, we’ve got everything you need to plan your trip.
New Student Day Checklist
To ensure you’re fully prepared for New Student Days, follow this checklist and complete each task before attending. Remember you must register for a New Student Day date as well!
Confirm your enrollment before attending New Student Days to ensure you're able to meet with academic advisors and register for your fall classes. If UW is your #1 choice, we encourage you to confirm as soon as possible so you can complete your registration during the event.
You can view your major under your name when you initially log in to your WyoRecords checklist. Contact admissions 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.
Look to your WyoWeb checklist to determine your status
- Red exclamation mark - we need you to take the exam.
- Green check mark - you do not need to take the placement exam.
- Yellow triangle - you should discuss with your advisor the options for your math course.
Even though ACT/SAT scores are not required for admission, they are helpful for math class placement. If you haven't yet sent us your ACT/SAT results, please have them sent to UW Admissions through your testing agency. You can also email a copy of your ACT/SAT score report to UW Admissions. 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 (measles, mumps, rubella) through the Student Health Service Online Patient Portal. This step must be completed before you can register for classes. Make sure to submit your records as soon as possible to avoid any delays.
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.
