Parent & Guardian Resources
Welcome Parents and Guardians!
The Office of Residential Life and Housing at the University of Missouri - Saint Louis firmly believes that on campus living significantly contributes to the educational and developmental growth of the individual student. While it is our responsibility to provide safe, clean, comfortable, and well maintained facilities for our residents, we believe that we create an environment that is truly their home away from home and foster their collegiate development.
These pages contain all the information you need in order for you and your student to have a successful transition and to help maintain a healthy relationship between your family and the Office of Residential Life. We hope you will find useful during this process. If you should have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at 314.516.6877. Thank you and we look forward to meet you and your student!
