Coronavirus Information

We are planning to return to seated classes for the fall semester. We are consulting closely with health officials and our priority is the health and well-being of our campus community. We will keep you updated as the situation evolves.

It is important that we be flexible with our fall 2020 applicants during this unusual time. For more specific information about admission requirements and exceptions, please email us at Admissions@MissouriState.edu. We are still finalizing our testing policy for the fall 2021 class and will update you soon.

The physical offices on Missouri State’s campus are closed. However, we are still operating and our staff members are available to serve you. You may schedule a virtual appointment with your admission representative or email questions to Admissions@MissouriState.edu.

Missouri State is not offering on-campus tours or presentations until further notice. We hope to return to offering these services as soon as we can safely do so. We invite you to consider these alternative resources:

• Experience our virtual campus tour.
• Schedule a virtual appointment with your admission representative.
• View our admissions presentation for helpful information on academics, student services, the admissions process, housing, scholarships, and more.

Yes, and it is a great resource. You can access the virtual tour at www.missouristate.edu/#virtualtour.

The June 26^th Summer Visit Day will not take place on campus, but instead be a virtual experience; keep an eye on your inbox for more details. At this time it is our intention to host our July 24^th Summer Visit Day on campus as scheduled.

As a precaution, we have made significant adjustments to our summer SOAR program. We will be offering both virtual and in-person sessions that will take place on one day, not two, during July and August. For more details, visit our SOAR COVID-19 Updates page.

• Assisting students is our top priority right now.  We launched a Student Success initiative and created a support team to answer student questions via email or text. Our goal is to respond to each within 24 hours.
• We moved Bear CLAW, our free tutoring service, online. Students have access to free tutoring and assistance writing papers.
• We created a coronavirus website to keep students informed as updates develop.
• For the safety of our students, we asked most of them move out of the residence halls. We are refunding a portion of both lodging and meal costs.
• Those who were not able to move out are still housed on campus, but are practicing physical distancing in terms of their room locations.
• We already had a student emergency fund for students who have an unforeseen need that may derail their education. We created a specific application due to COVID-19: the COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Application.

Housing assignments will be sent out June 30. For questions about placement, roommate assignments and more, reach out to ResidenceLife@MissouriState.edu
