Begining February 8 
Virtual tours of each hall are available on the individual hall pages here. 

Log into the housing portal to sign your housing contract and create any roommate groups. 

•  When logging in you will skip the regular log in section and click the "MST-STUDENT SSO LOGIN" to log in with your university credentials 

Interested in living in a mixed gender group? Complete the housing contract in the housing portal but skip the roommate pages. Instead, fill out the Mixed Gender Contract and return it to Residential Life at reslife@mst.edu or 205 W. 12th St by March 1. We will match your group together on our end. If you have done this contract in previous years you will need to re-submit.

Students wishing to remain in their same room will go to the housing portal between noon on March 2rd and 11:59pm on March 4th to choose their same room.

Students wishing to remain in their same complex in a different room will go on-line between noon on March 8th and 11:59pm on March 10th to pick their new room in the same complex.

Open sign-ups are available according to the following schedule:

90+ credit hours: anytime after noon on March 15 
60+ credit hours: anytime after noon on March 16 
30+ credit hours: anytime after noon on March 17 
Less than 30 credit hours: anytime after noon on March 18

Open sign up continues through April 6 for open spaces. After April 6, students who are not required to live on campus for the 2020-21 year will not be guaranteed housing though every effort will be made to house those requesting space.

Log in to the housing portal. When logging in you will skip the regular log in section and click the "MST-STUDENT SSO LOGIN" to log in with your university credentials. On the top navigation bar go to, "HIF & Reapplication". There you will follow instructions to, first, agree to the housing contract. And and then continue on to roommate selection (next step).

When you click, "save & continue" on your housing contract the next page will be your roommate profile.

• You can fill this out if you don't have a specific roommate in mind but want to search for people to form a group with or want people to be able to search for you by this profile information
• If you don't want to form a roommate group you can un-check the box "display in roommate search results" and continue through.
• If your intention is to only search for people you already know by name, you can choose whether to complete this step or not. 

When you click, "save & continue" on the profile page it will take you to the roommate search page

• You may form a group of up to 8 people (including you). Keep your desired room in mind when determining group size. You would only want a group of 8 if you intend to go into a University Commons 8 person suite. 
• Follow instructions on this page to create a roommate group. You can search for roommates (known, by their profile info, or have the system suggest roommates), send requests, or accept/decline requests. When done select "save & continue"
• Please note that you will only be able to search for other people who have also started this process. If the person you are looking for has not yet logged in to begin the process feel free to continue through and return to this page later. 
• Or, if you do not want to form a roommate group, you can skip by going right to "save & continue"

Please note: Students planning to participate in the Same Room sign-up may not want to form roommate groups. During same-room all residents will get the opportunity to same room individually, including your current roommate. During same complex and open sign-up one person from a roommate group or pair will log in and assign the whole group. 

After completing the above 2 steps, log into the housing portal on the time and date of the selection process you qualify for/want to participate in (find date specifics for each process in the time-line above). 

During same room sign-up individuals can only assign themselves to the same bed space that they are currently in. 

During same complex or open sign up, if you are part of a roommate group/pair only 1 person needs to sign in to assign the whole group. If you are not part of a group, you can still log in and sign up individually during these processes. 

After selecting your room, select the dining plan you would like to have for the 2021-22 academic year. You won't be able to select your dining plan prior to selecting a room because your eligibility for certain plans is connected to the building you will live in.

If you were assigned to a room by your roommate you can log in and pick a meal plan as well. Once you are assigned to a room, if you log in and click “HIF & Reapplication”>”Start Application”> “Continue” the system will jump you to where you last left off on the application and once you continue on it will take you directly to the meal plan selection page. Select your meal plan and hit “save & continue”.
