Guidelines for Third Party Site Agreements, Software and Best Practices
Faculty who require students to register at third-party sites, especially if grades are stored on the third-party server are only allowed for students to register and utilize these services if they are an approved vendor listed below.

The following third party vendors have appropriate security clearance and agreements with UMKC.
- Cengage
- McGraw-Hill Education (pending approval)
The following is a list of approved third party software vendors that have been approved and cleared by UMKC’s security administrator. The approved software vendors are used to provide online solutions for the various offices and or schools listed below.
