Enrollment Deposit

The University of Wyoming requires new, first-time students (freshmen and transfers) wishing to enroll for the Summer 2010 and/or the Fall 2010 semester to confirm their intent to enroll at UW by making an enrollment deposit on or before May 1, 2010. Students failing to confirm and make their deposit by May 1, 2010 will likely lose scholarships, aid, and other opportunities offered by the university.

Please Note: Financial aid awards are based on full time attendance which is defined as 12 hours for undergraduate, Law, and Pharmacy, and 9 hours for graduate. Students who are enrolled for less than full time hours at the end of drop/add period will have their budget and financial aid awards adjusted accordingly. Please feel free to contact our office with questions concerning this policy.

*Keeping the Aid You've been awarded*

Most financial aid programs have requirements to keep your aid after you have received it, but not all financial aid programs have the same requirements. Please visit Keeping your Aid for information on the requirements needed to keep your financial aid.
