Incoming Student Transfer Checklist
As a transfer student, there are several steps to take before and during your journey at UMKC, and we’re here to help along the way. Here is a checklist with everything you need to ensure your future as a Roo.
Visit Campus
See for yourself what the UMKC School of Education has to offer by scheduling a weekday campus visit or attending a Preview Day.
Check Admissions Requirements
Learn more about admissions requirements such as GPA, required testing and what classes you would need to take to fulfill your specific academic program.
Apply to UMKC
Once you’ve seen what UMKC has to offer, now is the time to apply! If you can see yourself as a Roo even before you visit campus, send your application our way.
Don’t forget: Transfer students must submit official college transcripts from all colleges and universities where coursework was attempted and/or completed.
Attend Transfer Student Orientation
After you’re admitted to UMKC, it’s time to register and attend orientation to really get a sense of what life as a Roo is like. During orientation, you’ll become more familiar with the campus, register for classes, and get any questions you may have answered.
