Residence Life, Housing and Dining – What You Need to Know – April 2021

by

Halls Close

Our Halls close on May 15 at 8:00 a.m. Students will need to have all their belongings packed up and their rooms cleaned. Each student will formally check-out with their Resident Assistant; they will go over their Room Condition Report that they signed when they moved in back in August and turn in their keys. To assist in a smooth check out, we have vacuums and cleaning supplies at the front desk for students to use. Also remind your student to ensure their forwarding address is correct with the Registrar’s office, so they continue to receive any mail over the summer. Photo of boxes being packed

One tip you can share with your student, is to start planning! It always takes longer to pack up and make a move than you think it does. They might start saving boxes now and thinking about what will fit in a carload home (and what might not).

Summer School Housing

Residence Life offers Summer School Housing in Blair-Shannon for students who will be enrolled in classes. The Housing Application is already open and students can find this under their My.MissouriState.edu, in the housing channel. This is a convenient option for students who will be focused on their classes this summer.

Future Bears – Assignment notices & Room Changes (for fall 2021 students)

Assignment notices will go out by the last day of May, June and July. Students will receive an email to their Missouri State email account with details about their housing assignment. Once posted, students can also see this information listed on their application and room/roommate summary link in their housing channel within the My.MissouriState.edu portal.

If your student would like to change their assignment after they receive one, they can go online to see any open bed spaces within our system. At that time, they will be able to self-select into an open space of their choosing. Students can check back to see any vacancies as we have cancellations throughout the summer, until July 15. The room change process will turn off for a short period of time in June, so we can make new assignments.
