We are thrilled to have you join us!
The UMSL housing application is completed and submitted online. You will need your SSO ID and password to apply, and you must have been admitted to the university for at least three days before applying.
Please note: There is a $60 non-refundable application fee which will be charged to your student account when applying for housing for the 2025-2026 Academic Year. This charge is not due at the time of completing the application, and instead may be paid with all other tuition and fees on the billing schedule as outlined by Student Financial Services.
