All residential rooms have high-speed Ethernet ports that can be used for
Internet access while on campus. Additionally, most common areas (lounges,
dining halls, etc.) have wireless Internet access available. The most recent
campus map of wireless locations can be viewed
here.
All requests for Internet access accounts for summer conferences must come from the conference organizer or a designated UMKC faculty or staff member. Rates for Internet access are as follows (per account):
- $30 per week, or
- $90 for the entire summer
Technical services include the following items:
- A temporary UMKC single sign-on account for each participant.
- Availability to the UMKC IS
Call Center for questions and problem resolution (during normal
hours of operation). Please visit the
Call Center web page for the current hours of operation.
Important notes for conference organizers:
- University affiliated conference organizers are expected to
coordinate all Internet access fees from participants along with initial
SSO account and password information. IS will only accept MoCodes from
conference organizers for Internet access- no cash or checks will be
accepted. Participants with account and password questions or problems
can contact the IS Call Center
(816.235.2000) with questions.
- Large requests for Internet access should be submitted a
minimum of 2 weeks in advance of conference.
- Conference organizers should communicate to participants the
importance of having their computers updated with the most current
security patches and updates prior to arriving on campus. This will help
visitors get connected more rapidly.
- Internet connectivity in the dorm rooms will require a network
cable; wireless connectivity is available in the common areas.
To register your group for Internet access accounts, please download and
complete the Summer Conference Account Request Sheet.
The following information is necessary for each account requested:
- First and last name of each person needing an account
- Date span that the accounts will need to be active
- The name and e-mail address of an event sponsor
Note: The event sponsor will recieve a list of
usernames and passwords once the accounts are created- this person will then be responsible for distributing the account
information
- A MoCode to charge for account creation
Once you have this information, please forward it via email
to the IS Call Center at
callcenter@umkc.edu.
