• Summer terms do not count as a “semester” of residence.
• A past semester will only count towards eligibility if the student lived in hosing for 50% or more of the semester.
• Students who have lived in the residence halls less than 4 semesters or more than 7 semesters are not eligible for a scholarship.
• The scholarship is available only to undergraduate students.
• Students must be enrolled to receive this scholarship.

During the 2020-2021 school year, students living in the residence halls who have completed 4 semesters living in the halls will receive reimbursement for a parking pass near their hall. Students who qualify will receive an email with further instructions on August 1st on how to get their pass. 

The Honors Community is designed for students who are selected for Missouri S&T's Honors Academy. As part of the Honors learning community, you will live and develop connections with other students enrolled in the Honors program on campus. Students will live together on the fourth floor of University Commons and participate in shared programs, field trips, and social activities including:

• Themed dinners or coffee/refreshment events hosted by faculty
• Semester outings (e.g. Laser tag, mini-golf, etc) with the Dr. Cawlfield, Vice Provost for Academic Support
• Regular community events
• Honors themed incentive program aimed to promote personal development, social engagement, & academic focus
• Priority selection for Residential Life study abroad experience

Please note that the timelines for reapplying to live in the Honors community is different from regular room sign-up. Students wishing to stay in the Honors Community but change rooms must email reslife@mst.edu no later than March 2nd. Students wishing to stay in their same room will complete the Same Room process between March 3rd and March 6th.

We want to give students who are interested in living in an 8-person UC apartment (4 double rooms) with eight people the opportunity to fill those whole units early in the room selection process while there are still whole units available. Otherwise, apartments start to become partially filled with one or two people at a time, and it's hard to find a unit for a group of eight.

Groups of eight who fill out and submit the Large Group Application and UC Large Group Roster prior to March 2^nd at noon will have the chance to be assigned together as a group to a fully open UC apartment. Residential Life will assign these students between the end of same room sign up, but before same complex sign up begins.

Week of February 2
Watch for an email regarding the full reapplication process and deadlines.

February 4 - 16
Review deadlines and speak with your RA about any questions you have regarding reapplication.

Students wishing to stay in the Honors Community but change rooms must email reslife@mst.edu no later than March 2nd. Any students wishing to stay in their same room in the Honors Community will only need to complete the Same Room sign-up between March 3rd and March 6th.

Students wishing to remain in their same room will go on-line between noon on March 3rd and 11:59pm on March 6th 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 9th and 11:59pm on March 11th to pick their new room in the same complex.

Login to MyHousing using your Missouri S&T username and password and agree to the Terms and Conditions of the Residence Hall Contract under the Applications tab on the top menu. Select the term "2020 Housing Reapplication" when updating your preferences.

You may request up to 4 possible roommates/suitemates. If you plan to go through the same room process, you will not be able to request a different roommate because your current roommate has the opportunity to choose the same room. Decide ahead of time which roommate will log in to select the room as multiple people logging in at the same time who have requested one another as roommates may cause a problem with the MyHousing system.

Please note: Students participating in the Same Room sign-up will not be allowed to pick roommates to allow all students the opportunity to select their same room. 

Log into MyHousing on the time and date of the selection process for the building you wish to live in and the time for which you qualify.

Review your roommate selections. If you have selected a roommate that has not selected you (not mutual) you will need to de-select them prior to picking a room. Select "Fall 2020" before trying to select a room (it should default to this term). You will see "select room" or "select suite". If you choose "select suite" you will be able to choose any available bedroom in that suite or apartment. If you have roommate requests click on "select suite". Assign yourself and your roommates to your preferred beds.

After selecting your room, select the dining plan you would like to have for the 2020-21 academic year. You may continue to come back to this site to update your dining plan until August 1. 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.

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