Cowboys Come Back

Your Path Back to UW

Cowboys Come Back supports students who previously withdrew, or who took a pause, to successfully come back to UW. There is always a space for you here at the University of Wyoming and every Cowboy can have a Comeback! There are three phases of the Cowboys Come Back program: Completing your All-School Withdrawal, taking a break from college termed a "Trail Break," and when the time is right, we are here to support your return and complete the Cowboys Come Back process.

There's Always a Place to Come Back to at UW

Regargless of the circumstances of taking a break from college, there is always a place at UW for you. When you come back, you can take a full on-campus class schedule, look into UW’s extensive online degree programs, or take a hybrid or part-time schedule. When you are ready to start the comeback process, we can help you through the process whether your Trail Break has lasted less than a year or beyond.
