New Argo August 2025
Find your way around campus by using the interactive online campus map. Do you know where the Cannon Green or the University Commons are located? Those are just two of our students’ favorite places to eat, hang out between classes, play games with new friends in the Game Room, and learn about events happening around campus. Of course, there are many other exciting and beautiful places around campus to explore, so bookmark the map and find your own favorite spots.
If you’re living on campus, you’ll be able to move into your residence hall on August 21. Visit the Housing and Residence Life Move-in webpage for specific information about preparing for your arrival, as well as move-in day itself. If your family is helping you move, check out the Argo Arrival Family Welcome event together.
Argo Arrival is the official welcome season for new and returning students. Kick off the new school year, explore involvement opportunities, have fun, enjoy free food, and meet new people. Argo Arrival events are FREE for all current students with a valid Nautilus Card.
In the event of a hurricane or tropical storm approaching Northwest Florida, University officials communicate with students via email, uwf.edu, UWF social media outlets (Facebook and Twitter), and the UWF text messaging system. Our goal is for all students, whether they are living on campus, commuting, or fully online, to have a plan and to be prepared.
As a student, you have access to many 1-1 support services and resources around campus. Browse this curated list that’s linked in the title and sorted by function, to see which offices or persons to contact in the event that you need them.
Argo Arrival starts August 21
