Returning Students

Already living in campus approved housing and ready to apply for next semester? Left for a co-op or internship, and need a place to live next semester? It's easy, convenient and all online! Just follow the steps below.

How to reapply for housing

Reapplication is the process where current residents apply for housing for the following academic year. In November, students can sign their housing application and form roommate groups, and in January students can begin the room selection portion of reapplication where they can select their specific rooms for the following fall semester. Check out this year's full process timeline here.

Depending on your age or the amount credit hours you've accumulated, your housing and dining options may differ from other students. Get ahead of the game by making sure you meet the requirements to avoid any issues with the room selection process. 

Note: If you've missed this process, you will need to fill out the Returning Student Application located below. This form should only be completed after Reapplication is closed.

View our housing policy for more details

Returning to campus

If you are returning to the residence halls from anywhere outside of the halls (co-op, internship, approved university housing, etc.), you will simply need to fill out the Returning Student Application. This form lets you select your housing, dining, and personal preferences for living in the halls. Your preferences will guide us in selecting the best placement for you. Fall applicants will receive their assignments in late June while spring applicants will receive theirs by January 1st.

Note: If you currently live in the residence halls, you do not need to complete this application unless you missed Reapplication Room Selection.

Housing and Dining Requirements

Undergraduates attending Missouri S&T who have not yet achieved junior status (60 credit hours), or who have not completed the equivalent of four full semester of academic work, are required to reside in university approved housing.

Exemptions: If you wish to apply to be exempt of the above policy you will need to submit an exemption request form. This form must be turned into the Residential Life office, and can be found on our Resources and Forms page.

  • Anyone living in Thomas Jefferson or Residential Commons is required to have a meal plan.
  • Anyone not a junior (60 credit hours) or above, or under 21 is also required to have a meal plan.
