First-time student this fall?
You will participate in Saddle Up! This new and exciting program is coming to UW this fall. Saddle Up is a required student introductory course that will take place on the UW Campus from August 18-25, 2023. Saddle Up participants will move into the residence halls on Friday, August 18th beginning at 8:00 a.m. As this is before the fall housing and dining contract start date of August 24, an additional charge of $372.00 will apply for Saddle Up students. This covers room and all meals during Saddle Up for dates before the fall contract start date (8/18-8/23) and will be billed to the student account.
Returning or transfer student?
Your move-in date is Thursday, August 24. You can check in at your hall's front desk between 8:00 a.m. and midnight beginning August 24th! Remember, the first day of classes is Monday, August 28th, so make sure you are moved in and settled by then!
The day is approaching, and it will be here before you know it! Make move-in a great experience by reviewing this information and any additional information we have sent. Whether you are moving in early for Saddle Up or on August 18th - the process will remain the same!
You must frequently check your University of Wyoming email address (uwyo.edu) before Move-In Day.
Keep an eye out for information regarding your room assignment, roommate information, move-in, and general housing and dining information on July 29th. If you do not receive one by the end of the day, please contact us at living@uwyo.edu.
When you arrive in Laramie, you'll want to make your way to 15th & Ivinson - this is where all traffic will be directed. Once you arrive, park in the designated Move-In parking spaces depicted on the move-in map.
Before unloading your vehicle, go directly to your assigned Residence Hall to check in.
Don't know your assigned hall? Visit the Housing, Dining, and Residence Life office on the lower level of the Washakie Center.
It's time to unload! Carts are available to check out at various locations depicted on the Move-In Map. You may use the 30-minute unloading zone on King Street north of the residence halls to unload your vehicle. Unloading zones are also available south of Orr Hall and west of White Hall. Please do not exceed the 30-minute limit.
Note: When checking out a cart, you must leave an ID. This can not be the student's WyoOne ID card because they will need that to access their room.
Once you have unloaded your vehicle, please move your vehicle to another parking lot. Students should move their vehicles to the corresponding parking permit lots. Parents and guests can move their vechiles to the Brown 'Free Parking' zones identified on the move-in map. If you have an oversized vehicle or trailer, temporary parking is available in the lot east of Crane Hall.
For more parking information, visit the Transit & Parking Services webpage.
Now that you are checked in, unloaded, and have moved your vehicle, it's time to unpack, relax, and decorate!
One Stop Shop is where students and their families can get all their questions answered about life on campus. Located on the lower level of the Washakie Center from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm, students and families are encouraged to stop by and talk to our participating vendors including:
Campus Dining
Campus Recreation
Dean of Students
Disability Support Services
Registrar
Scholarships & Financial Aid
Transportation & Parking
University Police Department
WyoOne ID Office
... and more!
Move-In Day can be a family affair for some UW students. During Saddle Up Move-In, our Family Basecamp located on the lower level of Washakie Center is the perfect place for families to unwind while students unpack and settle into their rooms. UW Student Success and Graduation staff and Cowboy Coaches from our peer mentoring program will be available to answer questions or direct families with questions.
