Week of February 6
Watch for an email regarding the full reapplication process and deadlines.

February 6 - February 28
Review deadlines and housing requirements and speak with your RA about any questions you have regarding reapplication.

February 6 - February 28
Take a look at your housing options. 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. 

• You will want to do this BEFORE your date for room selection. The housing contract must be signed by all parties before roommate groups can be formed. And  any roommate groups (optional) will need to be fully matched before selecting a room as a group. 

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 1102 N Rolla 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.

This year, we are bringing back a process called "Connections Communities." This is where a group of students that are already part of a community (think a group of friends from the baseball team, a group of friends that have already been living together on TJ 11 South all year, or even a group that meets every Friday to play board games) can apply together to live in this space. We welcome each application to be between 4 to 8 people. If you apply with more than 4 people, 2 or more people would be assigned to double spaces.

If you're interested in living in one of our Connections Community options (up to 8 people), be sure to fill out the form by 12pm on March 1st. Additional details about the spaces available for Connections Communities and the selection process can be found on the application.

Students wishing to remain in their same room will go to the housing portal between noon on March 6th and 11:59pm on March 10th to choose their same room.

You cannot pull in roommates during this time. Also, if you do same room you cannot later pull in roommates (though someone can feel free to search for your room and assign themselves to it later). If you wish to pull in roommates you should participate in a later process for same complex or open sign up.

Students wishing to remain in their same complex in a different room will go to the housing portal between noon on March 13th and 11:59pm on March 15th to pick their new room in their same complex.

Residents can assign themselves during this time, or one member of a roommate pair/group can assign the whole group. 

During same complex someone currently living in one complex can bring in and assign roommates from another complex. For example, if Joe Miner lives in UC and is matched with Wade Wilson in RC, Joe Miner can assign both to an open UC space during same complex sign up. 

Open sign-ups are available on the housing portal according to the following schedule based on credits (cumulative + current):

90+ credit hours: anytime after noon on March 20
60+ credit hours: anytime after noon on March 21
30+ credit hours: anytime after noon on March 22
Less than 30 credit hours: anytime after noon on March 23

Residents can assign themselves during this time, or one member of a roommate pair/group can assign the whole group. 

During open sign up someone with more credits can pull in roommates with fewer credits. For example, if Peter Parker has 91 credits and is matched with Ned Leeds who has 45 credits, Peter can assign both to an open space space during open sign up for those with 90+ credits.

Open sign up ends at 11:59pm on March 24th for all remaining open spaces. After March 24th, students who are not required to live on campus for the 2023-24 year will not be guaranteed housing though every effort will be made to house those requesting space.

Log in to the housing portal. On the top navigation bar go to, "Applications and Forms". 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 2023-24 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”.
