Student Success Services
Student Success Services: academic support, health and well-being, student engagement
UMKC recognizes that in order for students to be successful in the classroom, students need to be supported outside of the classroom and throughout all stages of their college journey. From first connections with the Office of Admissions, engagement with student organizations and programs, and mentorship of faculty and staff, students can expect to receive an enriching and engaging campus experience that supports personal and professional development and academic success.
The University offices and programs listed below provide students with a wide variety of co-curricular support services.
More details can be found in the UMKC Student Handbook. In addition, feel free to contact the UMKC Dean of Students Office and the Student Services Offices located in the Academic Units.
You may also contact the UMKC Student HelpLine at 816.235.2222 for questions about policies, procedures, resources, complaints, and general questions about the university.
