National research shows that students who live in university housing are more successful. We know from our own data that students who live in Housing facilities are more likely to stay in school and graduate in four years than students who do not.

No. University policy requires first-time college students to live in Housing facilities. Your contract is for a complete academic year. All residents who have signed a legal contract are required to fulfill their responsibilities.

We have a downloadable move-in checklist to help you organize what you need to pack and what items will be provided to you. It also explains which items are not allowed in your residence hall room such as air fryers, toasters, space heaters, etc.

Please review our Animals page for a more detailed outline of the process, depending on if you’re planning to bring a Service/Emotional Support Animal.

Fish in tanks of 10 gallons or less are the only permitted pets with MU Housing.

This option allows two currently enrolled Mizzou students to room together, regardless of their gender or sex. Both students must select this Family and Friend option.

This helps enhance our residents’ sense of belonging and facilitates a smoother transition to college life by increasing the options for selecting a roommate. By promoting student values around choice and decision-making, this option reinforces the opportunity for residents to achieve the goals of self-management, community engagement and global competency.

The following hall rates are available.

You will need to know your username and password to complete your housing & dining contract.

You can sign your housing & dining contract with $100 non-refundable application fee now. Once you’ve completed your contract, research hall and room options! Starting March 1, the next step of the housing process starts – creating your housing profile and starting to roommate match. Matching with a roommate during this step is optional, but creating a housing profile is required. You must sign your contract and create your housing profile by May 1 to avoid housing delays.

Once you’ve signed your contract and created your housing profile, you just need to wait for room selection in June! You will be emailed your room selection access time at least 7 days in advance, letting you know when you can log in to choose your room.

This is how you’ll choose your room on Mizzou’s campus! Instead of having a room assigned to you, we provide a self-selection process that gives you a say in your future home. Later in the process, you’ll pick your room and hall. Bookmark our housing process guide to learn more.

This is your hub for life in a residential hall. You’ll log into the Housing Portal to sign your housing & dining contract, select your room, see your assignment once you’ve chosen a room, and more. It’s also where you can see your mailing address, update your contact info or fill out other important housing forms.

This is when you can log in to select your room! We will provide more information later in the year.

If your student is over 18, then no! They can complete and sign their contract themselves. If your student is under 18, you will be required to sign on behalf of your student. Once your student enters your information on the Parent & Legal Guardian Guarantor page, an email with a link will be sent to the email address entered. Click on the sent link to officially sign on behalf of your student. 

Don’t see an email? Check your spam or junk folders, and make sure the email address wasn’t misspelled. If you still don’t see it, your student can navigate back to the page and submit refresh to resend the email.

The $100 housing application fee is non-refundable. 

You will receive a confirmation email to your MU email address after successful completion of each step. Set up your MU email inbox if you haven’t already. If you don’t receive a confirmation email after finishing a step, please review to see if you missed anything. If you’re still unsure why you haven’t received an email, reach out to Housing.  

Please read our Housing Accommodations page to review the steps and get started. Due to limited housing availability, we encourage you to start this process immediately after completing the housing contract and paying the $100 application fee. You must fill out the Disability Center housing accommodation application, schedule a Housing Access Planning Meeting (APM), and meet with an access advisor to discuss barriers.   

This is the process of creating a roommate profile in the Housing Portal. You pick a username and fill out a questionnaire on things like noise preference, what time you typically go to sleep, and more. Once you’ve made your profile, you’ll get a list of your top 50 matches. You can connect with as many of them as you’d like to see if you’d like to become a roommate pair.

That’s perfectly fine. You do not need a confirmed roommate to select a room. During your room selection access time, head to the Housing Portal and select a room for yourself. You can either look for a room with one available space and view the profile information of the student(s) already assigned to that room, or you can choose a room with multiple available spaces. The other space(s) in that room will be available to all other room-selecting students.

The most important thing is compatibility. After you complete your roommate profile in the Housing Portal, you’ll see your top 50 matches. Being friends with your roommate is a plus, but we highly recommend prioritizing similar habits (noise level comfort, when you like to wake up and go to sleep, etc.) over anything else when choosing a roommate.

Yes! We encourage you to look for a space that already has a student assigned to it. That way, you’re able to have a say in who you room with – you can look through their profile on the room information page and determine your compatibility.

It is possible that you and your roommate may not be able to initially select the same room with two available spaces. In this case, we recommend that roommate pairs each select an individual space they like. Since room selection is a very dynamic process, different rooms may become available as people change rooms or cancel. If a room with two available spaces opens later in the process, you can both choose that room. We recommend doing this while on the phone with each other.

Plan for this scenario and make sure you’re on the same page with each other.

There are a few potential reasons:

1. Compare roommate matching information cards and make sure there isn’t conflicting information.
2. Make sure you’re typing in their screen name correctly.
3. Double check that they’ve completed Phase 1 – signing the housing contract with application fee. Additionally, they need to have completed their housing profile and signed the values agreement.
4. Verify they aren’t already in a confirmed roommate pair. Students who are already in a pair can’t be found unless they break apart.

The person who sent the roommate request is the “leader”, and the one who accepts is the “member”. It doesn’t matter who is who! We recommend that whoever has the earliest room selection time should room select for the both of you. As a reminder, confirmed roommates are a linked group – you’ll room select together!

Either one of you can select a space for both of you! We recommend whoever has the earlier access time to select a room for you both during their room selection time, rather than waiting for the later access time. After you’ve both been assigned, you can still affect each other’s assignment. For example, your roommate can cancel your first room assignment and move you with them to another room.

If you want to make sure they don’t move you, even if they switch to a different space, just break apart your roommate group. This un-links you from them.

Yes! If both of you have completed a housing profile, you can create a roommate group together. Compare and see who has the earlier access time. That student can select a space for you both. If you would like to live in the Honors Community in Mark Twain Hall, the student in the Honors College can select a room in Mark Twain for you both.

With a strong demand for on-campus housing, some studies and lounges are converted to be bedrooms. We have also added furniture to some larger rooms that easily accommodate another person. This process is common in peer universities to address housing needs. MU Housing has successfully converted spaces many times before.

You will be able to see the room types in the description when viewing available rooms. 

We are deeply committed to providing the groundwork for a positive living experience. All spaces have been thoroughly assessed to ensure they provide plenty of space and include very similar furniture and amenities. Here are the differences:

• Instead of built-in closets, there will be mobile metal garment racks.
• In some spaces, the rooms will be carpeted instead of a hard surface.
• In some cases, you may have a hard key for room entry rather than an electronic lock.
• The furniture in all converted spaces is very similar to the furniture in the remainder of the building, but you could either have a 60” medium loft bed, a 36” junior loft bed, or 36” junior loft/bunk-able bed. 

Rates are based on room type. Room rates can be found on each hall page.

Mizzou on Rollins is located at 507 Rollins St., located just down the street from the MU Student Center.

Room types, features and rates are available here.

Yes! Mizzou on Rollins has all the amenities and support of other Housing properties, with RAs and a Hall Coordinator to provide oversight, create community programming, and foster an inclusive academic environment.

Mizzou on Rollins was a former sorority house, but is now open to incoming students with a housing and dining contract, regardless of affiliation in fraternities or sororities.

We anticipate very limited parking on location may be available for purchase or students can purchase parking at parking.missouri.edu.
