1.) Review your residency requirements and options

Depending on your age or the amount credit hours you've accumulated, your housing and dining options may differ from other students. Make sure you meet the requirements to avoid any issues with the room selection process. View our policies to learn more. In addition to housing and dining options, there are also community options for you to consider. Check out the Learning Communities tab to find out more.

2.) Login to myHousing

The first step to the room application process is to login to MyHousing using your Missouri S&T username and password.

3.) Agree to the terms and conditions

If this is the first time you've logged in to myHousing for this term, you will need to agree to the Terms and Conditions of the Residence Hall Contract under the Applications tab on the top menu. Select the term "Fall 2018" when updating your preferences.

4.) Make any roommate requests

You may request up to 3 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. Connections Community applications do not need to select a roommate through MyHousing. 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.

5.) Select your 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 2018" 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.

6.) Choose your dining options

Select the Dining plan you would like to have for the 2018-19 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.

You are finished. You will receive a room confirmation e-mail to your Missouri S&T email account with a confirmation of your chosen room and dining plan. We look forward to having you back on campus next year!

Living Learning Communities

Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are residential settings that promote learning outside of the classroom. Within learning communities, you'll experience an environment where you can learn from other residents, as well as from program opportunities. They provide you the opportunity to further develop skills related to your own success while contributing to the learning of others. In the 2018-2019 school year, you'll have the opportunity to join the Residential Commons' Global Awareness community or University Commons' Entrepreneurship and Innovation community, or you can start your own living community with our connections community application.

What are Connection Communities?

The connections program offers a unique community development approach by affording students the opportunity to shape the identity of unique, self-directed environments surrounding a common theme, issue, or interest. With the assistance of a Resident Assistant, students develop activities and community standards through a peer leadership approach with accountability measures established by Residential Life staff. Residents participating in the Connections Community program will be housed in Farrar, Buehler, or University Commons.

MyHousing

Why can't I register for a room?

Enter "Fall 2018" for the term and you should see any incoming requests. If you are still having issues applying for housing, contact the Residential Life main office.

Communication

How will Residential Life communicate with residents?

Residential Life will be using reslife.mst.edu and your Missouri S&T e-mail. Please check your e-mail regularly, and do not ignore messages from Residential Life.

How will I know if my Connections Community was approved?

Residential Life will contact your community leader before March 13th about whether or not your community was approved.

Meal Plans

When will my meal plan get assigned?

You will pick your own meal plan after you select a room. If you don't chose a meal plan, you will be assigned Meal Plan #3, 225 meals per semester + 150 DBDs per year.

Who can select the partial meal plan number 5?

Students eligible for meal plan 5 are any of the following:

• Students living in Buehler, Farrar, Co-ops, Miner Village,  Rolla Suites or University Commons.
• Students classified as juniors, seniors, or graduate students.
• Students 21 years of age or older.

Selecting a Room

What if I can't see the room I want for next year?

Unfortunately, that means the room is not available; either it's been selected before you, or is not a room that we have designated as available for returning students.

How do I know that my room selection went through? Will I receive a confirmation?

You will receive an e-mail to your S&T e-mail account, and you will see the room selection on your MyHousing home screen.

Roommates

I want my same room, and I want to pick my roommate. Can I do that?

No, picking your same room is an individual decision. Once same room sign up has completed and open room sign up has started, your preferred roommate can select your room if it is still available.

How do I select a roommate or suitemate?

After logging into MyHousing, select Room Selection then Roommates/Suitemates. For best results, enter your preferred roommate's name or email address and select Begin Search. Select the correct student from the list. Your selected roommate will receive a confirmation email that they have been selected by you.

How do I change or cancel a roommate/suitemate request?

Click 'Remove' for the roommate/suitemate from the Roommate/Suitemate screen.

I want to know who my roommate is before I make a room selection. Is there a way to get this information?

The only way to know who is going to be your roommate before you select a room, is to agree to be a roommate with someone. Otherwise, you won't know who your roommate is going to be until after you select your room.

What if I don't have a roommate preference?

That's fine, but a roommate will be placed with you. Your roommate will be either a fellow returning resident, or an incoming freshman or transfer student.

Special Living Communities/Situations

How do I apply for the Honors Housing?

Students that are selected for Missouri S&T's Honors Academy will be eligible for the Honors Housing. You will want to apply to live in the Honors Living Learning Community by Febuary 19th. You can find the application under Learning Communities tab. 

What if I change my mind and want to live off campus?

If you are eligible to live off campus, you may cancel your room assignment and meal plan by e-mail at reslife@mst.edu. Cancellation penalties will be applied after June 1st.

What if I want to live with a member of the opposite gender?

Mixed gender housing is permitted in Buehler and Miner Village The following rules pertain to mixed gender housing:

• Buehler: Students must be assigned to a room with someone of the same gender. However, rooms within apartments may be of a different gender. You will be able to request this through your Connections Community application.
• Miner Village: Students wishing to live in mixed gender apartments in these buildings will need to come to the Residential Life Office prior to their assignment time and complete a mixed gender agreement. You will be hand assigned by the Residential Life staff during your assignment time period. 

How will I be placed in a room within my approved connections community?

Once Connections Communities are approved, they will be informed of the location they were approved for (Floor and room numbers, or apartment number). They will then be asked to provide a final roster and assignments for those individuals within their location. Residential Life staff will then manually assign the community members to those spaces.
