Incoming Student Transfer Checklist

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.
