Are you considering Mizzou as an option or have you only recently applied? This is where to go if you would like more information about becoming a Tiger!

Dear Future Tiger,

We know you've been excited to know about when you can choose housing at Mizzou. And we understand - this is going to be your new lair. So, we've got the answers worth roaring about

In March, you'll receive information in the mail about how to go online and choose your residence hall. This is completed in three easy steps:

  1. Pay your $150 Enrollment Fee. This secures your spot in next fall's incoming freshman class. You can actually do this anytime, but it needs to be paid in order for you to select housing. Pay your Enrollment Fee online at enrollmentfee.missouri.edu.
  2. When it becomes available in March, submit a housing contract online. Information on the exact date you can do this will be included in Housing 201, the mailing you will or may have already received.
  3. Select where to live! You may have to wait a few seconds – maybe even a whole minute – so your file can be updated. But once you select your room, that's it. No waiting to hear back on your housing assignment. You can start stocking up on your black and gold décor and getting to know your future Tiger roommate.

We can't wait for you to move to Mizzou. In the meantime, check out the links below. As always, please don't hesitate to contact us if you do have questions.
