Winter Break Housing

Limited break housing will be available in Hammons and Hutchens house for $20/night.  Spaces are offered on first-come-first-served basis.  If interested, e-mail AbbyBrown@missouristate.edu with your name, BearPass number and the dates you need housing.


There are also break-housing rooms available at the University Plaza Hotel.  The University Plaza is located at 333 S John Q. Hammons Parkway, one block north of Sunvilla.  The cost is $69/night and includes a hot breakfast each morning.  If you are interested in taking advantage of these accommodations, please contact the University Plaza directly at (417) 864-7333.  Booking and billing is all handled through University Plaza.


 

No Mail Service During Winter Break

Please be aware that mail service to all closed residence halls will be suspended and that mail service will not be available until the residence halls reopen in January.  Your mail will not be forwarded during the Winter Break.  There will be no access to mail during this time, as the reception desks are not staffed.  If you are expecting an important piece of mail, please make sure it is mailed to you before your residence hall closes—no later than December 11, 2015—or make other arrangements for delivery.


 

Computer Registration

During the Winter Break, Residence Life, Housing and Dining Services will reset all wired computer registrations. Upon returning to the residence halls, all students will need to re-register any device that was utilizing a wired Ethernet connection.  For more information, please contact ResNet at 417-836-6100 or visit http://resnet.missouristate.edu


 

BoomerMeals

Your BoomerMeals balance will start over for Spring.  Any BoomerMeals left over from the Fall semester will carry forward to Spring.

If you are not returning to the residence halls for Spring, you will lose any unused BoomerMeals from Fall but will not be charged for Spring BoomerMeals.
