Located in the Office of Admissions, the Welcome Center is the central location for greeting campus visitors. Staff schedule campus visits for prospective students and their families. Campus visits usually include a tour and an opportunity for visiting students to meet with an Admissions representative, as well as an adviser in their area of academic interest. Customized tours also are available for groups or individuals who have specialized interests or needs. An indoor campus tour is available for those times when an outdoor tour is not convenient.

The center also provides assistance in locating off-campus housing. "SHARP", the Student Housing Assistance and Referral Program, is a computerized program listing local property owners and managers who have rental housing available. In conjunction with SHARP, a "Roommate Wanted/Needed" computer program is available for students to match specific features they would prefer in a prospective roommate. This program helps identify individuals that meet the criteria.

Other services include providing General Catalogs to prospective students, other schools and businesses and publishing The UMKC Off-Campus Housing Navigator, a booklet that addresses questions, issues and problems most frequently encountered by student-tenants.
