Parking Your Car

Campus is very walkable, so most students won’t need a car but if you do, you can apply for a permit, explore FAQs and more.

Move-In Appointments

This is the window of time where you get everything out of the car and into your room. Choosing a timeslot lets us know when to expect you and helps you avoid long wait times.

You can book your move-in appointments starting in July.

MicroFridge Rentals

Purchasing appliances you'll only use for the academic year? Save your wallet and room in the car by renting a microfridge from our official partner, USS.

Move-In Maps

Traffic patterns will change for move-in. Know where to go with our move-in maps!

Please note: There may be construction on I-70 and Highway 63 that could impact your travel time. Refer to the MoDot map for updates.

Move-in maps will be available later this summer.

Screenshot Your QR Code

Move‑in is like a concert — and no, we’re not just talking about the excitement! Head to the Housing Portal later this summer and screenshot your QR code under the “My Assignments” page. Just like a concert ticket, it’ll make your check‑in a lot snappier!

No Mobile ID for move-in?

Here's how to get into your hall in the meantime.

Activate Mizzou Mobile ID

Access your Mizzou Mobile ID through the GET app on your smartphone. It opens your hall's exterior doors, and if you have an electronic door lock, it is the key to your room. Through the GET app, you will need to download your Mobile ID to your Apple Wallet or Android phone.

Mizzou at UCentre

To access the building and your room, UCentre has a fob independent from your Mizzou Mobile ID. At Mizzou at UCentre, you will receive your fob and key at the UCentre front desk.

Hard Key Halls

To enter your exterior hall door, check your MU email for instructions. To enter your room or suite, check out your hard keys from the front desk serving your hall.

Halls: Respect, Responsibility, Discovery, Excellence

Electronic Lock Halls

To access both the exterior hall doors and your student room, go to Open My Door. If you do not have your Mizzou Mobile ID activated in the GET app, check your MU email for instructions. If you are in a converted room, see Hard Key instructions.

Halls: Bluford, Brooks, Center, College Avenue, Defoe-Graham, Dogwood, Galena, Gateway, Gillett, Hatch, Hawthorn, Hudson, Johnston, Mark Twain, McDavid, North, Schurz, South, Wolpers
