Housing Dates & Deadlines
- December 1 | Housing preference form and contract available. University policy requires freshmen to live in university housing. The preference form tells us what you need to thrive at Mizzou. Specify your freshman interest group or learning community (see below) of choice and what you’re looking for in a room. Preference forms are available from Dec. 1 and require a $25 non-refundable processing fee. You can update your preference form any time before Feb. 1 to be included in the first round of room assignments. Admitted students, check your mailbox for a brochure with information about living, learning and thriving on campus.
- February 1 | Priority deadline to complete housing preference form and contract. Complete your preference form and submit your housing and dining contract to be included in the first round of room assignments.
- March 1 | Parking assignments and first round of room assignments available. If you completed your preference form and contract by Feb. 1, you can log into the Housing Portal to view your room assignment.
- After March 1, Freshman Interest Groups (FIG) and Learning Communities (LC) have very limited availability. You are welcome to preference either of these options. However, if Residential Life is unable to place you in a FIG or LC, they will utilize your other preferences. Not all preferences can be met during the 2nd round of housing assignments.
- June 1 | Second round of room assignments available. Log into the Housing Portal to view your room assignment.
Honors Learning Community
As an honors student, you may choose (but are not required) to live in the Honors Learning Community (HLC) in Mark Twain Hall. The HLC is a living & learning experience for honors students. Benefits include dedicated study areas, on-site honors advising and workshops, and honors exclusive events. Honors students who choose not to live in the HLC are welcome to visit and participate in events and activities.
Freshmen Interest Groups (FIGs)
Freshman Interest Groups (FIGs) comprise 15-20 first-year students who live near each other and enroll in a few general education classes together. As a member of an Honors FIG, you would have guaranteed honors housing, co-enrolled classes (including at least one honors course) with your fellow Honors FIG students, and a one-hour/week proseminar class co-taught by an honors student and honors faculty member. Honors FIGs are a great way to meet fellow honors students, get involved with the College, AND earn honors credit (for those courses that contain an “H”)!

You will automatically be enrolled to the corresponding FIG class bundle prior to Summer Welcome. You may work with your academic advisor to complete the remainder of your class schedule and make adjustments for prior class credit. Classes in FIG bundles are subject to change.
Forthcoming Honors FIGs: Kinder Institute Democracy Lab – How, when, why, and where have people risen up to overthrow unjust governments? And maybe an even bigger question: what happens next? In the Kinder Institute’s Democracy Lab FIG, first-year students can explore these questions through the Honors College’s new social science sequence, with a fall course focused on the revolutionary origins of democracies around the globe and an optional spring course on the constitutions that do (or don’t) emerge in these revolutions’ wake. Designed for students of any major who are interested in studying at the intersection of history, philosophy, politics, law, and more, the FIG also introduces participants to the array of opportunities available for MU undergrads at the Kinder Institute, including study abroad trips to Scotland, Oxford, and South Africa, multiple D.C. programs, and an interdisciplinary B.A. in Constitutional Democracy.
