Room occupancy will operate as normal for Fall 2020.

The primary move-in days will be August 14-16. If you are part of a group that is required to return to campus prior to the official opening day of the residence halls, please contact your coach/sponsor for day and time to move into the residence halls.

Students are assigned specific times to arrive on August 14 based on building to minimize overcrowding.

There will be a limit of 2 persons per resident.

This decision will be made in late July.

Yes, unless a medical condition prohibits wearing of mask.

We recommend all students bring disinfectant cleaner, over-the-counter medicine for fever/headache, thermometer, hand sanitizer, extra masks and a copy of insurance card.

The major changes besides wearing masks are no visitation or overnight guest, restructuring of Residence Hall Association events to limit participation or expanding space for event, and limitation of services in the Mayes Student Life Center. All these actions are subject to change based on the campus safety precautions.

Prior to coming to campus, student should:

• Do a self-quarantine at home two weeks before move-in day to reduce potential exposure
• Delay moving onto campus if they’re experiencing a temperature of 100.4 of higher, feeling ill, or have been in recent contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID within 14 days,
• Have an off-campus relocation plan in the event they test positive for COVID or in the event the University closes the residence halls.

Students directed by a health care provider to go on quarantine or isolation are expected to notify the MSSU Health Center and the Residence Life Office within 24 hours of receiving that directive.

Below is information from the Bursar's Office to show you how to set up an electronic refund account with Missouri Southern if you are due a refund.  If you have questions, you can email the Bursar's Office (bursar@mssu.edu) for answers.

Using the MSSU Payment Portal (https://www.mssu.edu/paymybill), select “Student Login”. Then log in here, just as you would log in to LioNet or your student email: Choose “Electronic Refunds” under “My Profile Setup”. If you haven’t set up two-step verification, you will be asked to do so at this point. (If you have already set up two-step verification, you can skip this step.) Select “Set up Account” Enter your account information in the form. Be sure to enter the account number backward in the “Confirm account number” box. At the bottom of the form under the “Save payment method as” box enter a nickname for your account. Click Continue. Next review the information you entered and read the disclosures. If everything entered is correct and you agree to the disclosures click the box next to “I Agree”. Then click “Continue”. The next screen will show that the eRefund account has been saved. If you ever need to change your eRefund account to a new account or if you entered something incorrectly and it cannot be verified, you can update or remove the account by clicking the settings icon.

If you have any questions, contact the Bursar’s Office (417.625.9381) or email bursar@mssu.edu.

We have a physical dropbox on the outside of the first floor of Hearnes Hall. Students can drop off payments (please include student ID number) in the depository there 24/7.
