Housing is $300/month for a dual-occupancy bedroom, $400/month for single-occupancy. (This rounds out to $2,700 for 9 months in a dual-occupancy bedroom, or $3,600 for 9 months in a single-occupancy bedroom, extended as needed for the length of your stay.)

Our on-campus apartments are organized as multi-resident suites, which means that both private and double-occupancy bedrooms share a common kitchen, living room, and bathroom.

Unfortunately, no. While single-occupancy bedrooms do offer more privacy within an apartment, there will still be multiple students per apartment unit.

Although WyoTech does not offer housing for married students, our housing staff will provide information on available apartments (off campus) in the area.

Throughout the year, we offer professional development programs, tutoring, resource fairs, and extracurricular activities. Students who participate in the professional development program not only gain valuable information and experience, but also earn extra credit!

WyoTech does not guarantee credit into or out of the school, and transferability is always at the discretion of the receiving school. Our diploma and degree programs are terminal in nature and are designed for the graduate’s employment upon graduation. Upon request, we will provide students with transcripts and course outlines for credit evaluation, but ultimately, it is the student’s responsibility to confirm whether or not credits will be accepted by another institution of the student’s choice.

Laramie, Wyoming, is a great balance of upbeat, college-town life and easy going, small-town vibes. You’re not far from the epic hiking trails and scenic vistas of Medicine Bow National Forest; there’s endless opportunity to climb rock formations at Vedauwoo; and, in the winter, you can get out and explore the Snowy Range, where you can enjoy everything from downhill skiing to snowmobiling. In addition, students often enjoy game days at the University of Wyoming, as well as exploring plenty of great places to eat and shop in downtown Laramie.

On a space-available basis, a WyoTech graduate in good standing may return for an update training course in the program from which the student graduated at no additional tuition charge, provided the course or program is still offered. (A graduate is considered to be in good standing if all school charges have been paid and, if the graduate was a recipient of Federal loans, the graduate is current in all loan obligations.) A graduate may not require update training prior to two years after graduating from the program. A request for an update training course must be addressed to the Registrar and approved by the Campus President. Update training is not valid for grade or certification purposes, and the student will not receive a transcript, grade, or attendance for the portion repeated.

To maintain our commitment to high-quality, career-oriented training and the maximum employability of our graduates, we’ve established Advisory Committees for each department. These Committees are comprised of industry members who formally meet with WyoTech staff and faculty to assist in making decisions regarding curriculum changes, equipment purchases, and program enrichment. To learn more about becoming part of a Committee, please email Shawn Nunley.
