First-Year Student Housing Checklist
|
- Check out Housing FAQs.
- Become familiar with our policies and procedures.
- Google Springfield, MO to check out the area (closest Wal-Mart, Battlefield Mall, city bus service, movie theaters, bowling alleys, etc).
- Contact the Office of Admissions to set up a tour of campus or a visit day, or take the virtual tour of your housing options.
- Fill out a Housing Contract to live on campus and indicate your residential meal plan, OR complete a Housing Exemption form to be exempt from the university housing policy. Commuter students may purchase an off-campus meal plan. Note: All full-time day students under are required to live on campus unless married or living at home with parents. Students 21 and over will receive priority for off-campus housing. Complete a Housing Exemption Form if you need to apply to move off campus. Students who do not receive written permission to exempt from the housing policy are expected to live on campus.
- Mail Housing Contract with $200 to cover both the housing and tuition deposits OR Housing Exemption Form with $100 tuition deposit to the Office of Admission, 900 N. Benton, Springfield, Mo 65802. Make checks out to Drury University and indicate the type of deposit(s) you are paying in the “Memo” line on your check.
- If you want your parent(s), guardian(s), etc. to be able to call Drury and get your housing information, address, phone number, or find out how much money your housing and meals will cost, you will need to complete a Student Consent for Information Release and return it to the Records & Registration Office, Bay Hall, 900 N. Benton, Springfield, MO 65802. Students can also grant permission for parents to access academic, disciplinary, financial, and personal with this release.
- Check your Drury webmail account upon receipt and continue to check it regularly for important updates, including housing assignments (e-mailed in mid-June), move-in tips, financial aid information and more.
- Log onto MyDrury to check your housing/tuition bills and student profile.
- Submit Confidential Health Form to the Student Health Office, 900 N. Benton, Springfield, MO 65802.
