By checking this box I am confirming my awareness that this form is NOT the application. And I must access the link above in step 1) to complete the UMKC Direct Admit application.

By checking this box I am confirming my awareness that I must email my assigned Senior Student Services Coordinator my interest in adding a new program as a Direct Admit.

By checking this box you attest you acknowledge you must notify your Senior Student Service Coordinator AND Program Director before moving as moving to non-SARA state can affect status within the program.
