Some Residence Halls Close for Winter Break

Blair-Shannon, Freddy, Wells, and Woods House will close on December 12 at 8 am and will reopen January 9 at 8 am for Winter Break. All mail during this time is stopped, and students will need to send packages elsewhere during this time. Students who need housing can contact the Residence Life, Housing and Dining Services Office 417-836-5536 if they need assistance finding break housing. We offer very limited spaces on campus for students at a minimal cost and we also work with a nearby hotel for a discounted rate. Have your student contact us so we can talk about options if they need housing during that time. All other residence halls and apartments (Hammons, Hutchens, Scholars, Monroe, and Sunvilla) will remain open.

Housing Applications for 2021-2022

Current on campus students can fill out the housing application. Go to My.MissouriState.Edu àCampus Lifeà Housing to fill out the housing application to live on campus. The $100 Housing deposit also carries over from year to year for students who remain on campus. Future Fall 2021 students should fill out the housing application now as there is no penalty for cancelling for before May 1, 2021. Make sure to complete the meningitis requirement and pay the housing deposit to have a completed housing application. Assignments are made based on application completion date order at the end of each month starting in May.
