For Fall 2025, the official move-in days for Residential Life are Wednesday, August 20th - Friday, August 22nd!
We know you’ll enjoy your Residential Life experience in one of our four facilities. Move-in is a fun and exciting time – you have the chance to make new friends and create a strong foundation for your academic year. We’ll have staff available around the clock to ensure you get settled into your space and to help you connect to campus through the numerous Roo Welcome events offered before the start of classes. While this time is exciting, it can also be a bit stressful if you don't plan ahead. To help you best prepare for your journey to campus, a few helpful pieces of information are listed below.
Additional information will be sent to your 性视界传媒 email address during the summer, so please check your account regularly!
Before Move-In
Packing
Are you wondering what to bring and what to leave at home? Download our list of suggested and prohibited items (PDF). And don’t forget to talk to your roommate, suitemates, or apartment-mates! You may find you were planning on bringing duplicate items and can instead leave those behind.
Required Vaccination
Beginning in the fall of 2015, all college students living on campus at public universities in Missouri will be required to have the meningitis vaccination. The mandate was a provision of Senate Bill 716, signed into law July 10, 2014. The meningitis immunization must have occurred within the past five years in order to be accepted. Students who fail to provide proof of the vaccine or an acceptable medical or religious waiver will not be allowed to occupy a residential space on campus. We recommend working with your physician or health care provider to discuss next steps.
Tasks to Complete Before Move-In

- Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) & Meningitis immunizations or waivers should be submitted through our . Use the Student Login, then under “Submit Move-in Documentation” select the appropriate paperwork you are submitting from the pull-down menu.
