Orientation is the next exciting step in your college journey. Please note, before you
come to Orientation you must complete the online E-Orientation. Then you will attend a
mandatory one-day orientation program on campus that will lay the groundwork for your
success at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. If you do not attend this mandatory
orientation, a hold will be placed on your student account that will prevent you from
enrolling in future semesters.
If you are interested in living on campus, contact Residential Life to learn more about reserving a
dormitory or apartment at info.umkc.edu/housing/contact.
