Whether you are a first-year student or have been through the move-in process a time
or two, it's always an exciting time of year. To make your experience as smooth as
possible, we've compiled some information that will help prepare you for what to expect.
Learn about what you should pack, leave at home, and how to prepare for life at the
University of Wyoming. In addition, on the day of move-in, it's important to be informed
of our processes.

The best way to be prepared for move-in is to prep in advance. It's important to come to campus knowing what to bring and what to wait to buy until you are here. Download and print our recommended packing list.
Move-in on campus is an exciting time of year. It is filled with excitement, happy tears, and heavy lifting. Before you arrive, get familiar with our move-in process.
We are excited to welcome you to campus housing at the University of Wyoming! To help
make your transition to college life as smooth as possible, please return to this
guide often (you can even download it and print it) and check your email regularly!

Move-in is scheduled for Saddle Up participants on Friday, August 18, 2023. Residents that are not participating in Saddle Up will move-in on August 24, 2023.
Drop us an email with your requested change. Should your desired space become available prior to move-in, we will update your booking and let you know! Otherwise, you will move into your assigned space and work with the residence coordinator of your building for a possible room change later in the semester.
Packing can be overwhelming – we've tried to make it as simple as possible. Check out our move-in guide and our Preparing for Move-In page to make your packing easier.
There will be several moving carts available to assist with moving your belongings into your room. To use a cart, you will have to leave behind an ID (not your WyoOne card) until returned. Residents are welcome to bring their own moving supplies (i.e., dolly) as well!
There may be some lines for the elevators and carts, but they move quickly!
All students are part of a process called roommate agreements. Your Resident Assistant (RA) will talk with you about completing your agreement. If something falls through or if one roommate is not holding up the agreement, your RA will assist you in a mediation process.
A full-time, live-in Residence Life Coordinator is responsible for each Residence Hall. Also, a student staff member, called an RA (Resident Assistant), lives on every floor.
The concern for the safety and security of our residents is shared by all segments of the university. The dorms are locked 24/7 and residents gain access to their respective building through electronic access using their WyoOne ID card. The university also has a full-time police department.
A meal plan is required for those students living in the residence halls. Our meal plans give students freedom from grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning up and provides good daily nutrition. Our dining center serves as an extension of students' living space.
Although you don't need a parking permit during move-in, contact Transportation and Parking Services to learn about purchasing a permit for the academic year.
