Saddle Up Costs

Saddle Up is required for all first-time, full-time domestic students attending the University of Wyoming.

Students entering their first semester at UW will be enrolled in the one-credit Saddle Up course at New Student Days or during online summer advising meetings. Financial aid may be available to students who require assistance with fees for this program.

Student Cost Breakdown

One Credit Hour

UW follows a block tuition model. The one credit hour Saddle Up course is counted toward student fall courseloads for financial aid and block tuition purposes.

$400 Housing and Dining Cost

There is a $400 fee for meals and housing for the week of Saddle Up. Students who have an approved exemption from living in the residence halls for the semester will still be required to participate in Saddle Up programming, including mealtimes. This will incur a $225 dining cost for off-campus students regardless of use.
