Students living on campus check in at the Saddle Up tent on Washakie Green.
After Saddle Up check-in, you may begin moving into your room and unpacking.
Parents and family members looking for a place to relax and recharge are welcome to take advantage of our Parent Basecamp! Aside from the many helpful resources available in the basement of Washakie during move-in, parents will have a space to unwind with refreshments in the company of other Cowboy parents.
Moving in late? Contact us at saddleup@uwyo.edu or (307) 766-5765 and we'll help you get started!

We will be hosting an Off-Campus Mingle on Move-In Day, mimicking the first floor meeting that students in the halls experience. This is a great chance to get to know other students living off-campus! All off-campus students are required to attend this event.
