To accept your admission and any funding you may have received, you are required to make an enrollment deposit. The payment of your enrollment deposit should be submitted through your Application Status Page. The enrollment deposit is an advanced tuition deposit that will be credited to your first tuition bill and is non-refundable.

Payment of your enrollment deposit indicates that you are accepting the admission offer and that you wish for us to proceed with the next steps, including review of your documents for I-20/DS-2019 issuance, registration, and transportation accommodations.

Approximately 3 to 5 business days after your enrollment deposit payment has been submitted, you will be invited to the ISSS Gateway Portal. This invitation will be sent to your S&T student email account, so be sure it is activated.  You will then request your I-20 through the ISSS Gateway Portal. 

The Office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) assists with the requirements to maintain F-1 or J-1 visa status monitored by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State. Any questions about your I-20 or DS-2019 can be directed to their team at isss@mst.edu.

• General Residential Life Information

Graduate students are responsible for securing their own housing in Rolla. There are several off-campus housing options within walking distance to the university. It is very important that you plan ahead to secure your housing and budget accordingly for your personal living expenses.

Keep in mind if you are renting an apartment, it often requires payment of a deposit, which is equal to the first month's rent. In addition to your monthly rent, you will also need to budget for utilities, such as electricity, water, and internet. 

A breakdown of the average* monthly living expenses:

• Shared apartment or house: $400-600 per person
• Single Occupancy apartment or house: $500-1000+
• Food and Personal expenses: $250-350
• Transportation: Taxi services are typically around $10 per trip in the city of Rolla
