It’s our main priority to provide you a meaningful campus experience in the safest environment possible. While the circumstances of COVID-19 have impacted how we connect with each other, UMKC can still connect you with current students and staff to share information, answer questions and showcase all that UMKC has to offer!
Time and time again, our students tell us their campus visit sealed the deal for them at UMKC. During COVID-19 we've expanded our virtual visit options though we still have in-person visits and tours available.
If you want to visit us in person, you can choose a date and time that works for you. We cannot guarantee an appointment for those who walk-in without a scheduled visit.
To help keep our campus community healthy, follow the tips on Health and Safety, including:
If you develop symptoms or test positive for COVID within two weeks after visiting campus, or meeting any Roo faculty, staff or students in-person, follow the advice of your local health-care provider and cooperate with public health officials who will need more information from you in order to initiate contact tracing.
Admissions counselors will be hosting virtual office hours, as well as the Office of Admissions live chat. All admissions team members are here to connect with you!
We encourage the submission of all documents electronically or by mail, though in-person appointments can be made if necessary.
We recommend that you upload any unofficial materials to your application status page or email them to admissions@umkc.edu.
To submit by mail, send to:
UMKC Office of Admissions
Attn: Processing Center, Admin Center 120
5115 Oak Street
Kansas City, MO 64110
To submit in person, please schedule an appointment. We cannot guarantee a 1:1 appointment for walk-ins without an appointment.
The Financial Aid and Scholarships Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Our staff is ready and available to assist in several formats. If you have general questions or follow up, check out our Contact page; our staff may be able to help you via or set up an online or in-person appointment.
Main Line: 816-235-1154

Online appointments will be held via Zoom meetings. In-person meeting space is limited to ensure appropriate space for social distancing. Plexiglass has been installed to serve as protective barrier and hand sanitizer will be readily available.
We also know many students simply need to drop off forms or documents for our office to review. If you are on campus, you can use the drop box located outside of our office. We highly encourage students to submit documents using the new Secure Document Uploader tool in Pathway (which should be available for students who have already been admitted to UMKC and have set up their UMKC accounts).
To access the tool:
A confirmation email will be sent once your document has been received.
Please contact the Financial Aid Office directly at 816-235-1154 or at finaid@umkc.edu if you have any questions.
