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.

 $372 Housing & Dining Cost

There is a $372 fee for meals and housing for the week of Saddle Up. Students who have approved for an 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 $204 dining cost for off-campus students regardless of use.

 $200 Course Fee

This course fee is separate from regular student fees during the fall semester and covers the cost of enrichment, staff, and supplementary programming during the week of Saddle Up.
