Arrival and Orientation

 

The information on this page is designed for those that have gained admission to the University of Central Missouri. We are excited to have you join us here on campus!

Explore the information below to learn more about what to expect after you have applied for your visa.  

Orientation (Online and On Campus)

Before you can enroll in courses here at UCM you must attend the required Orientation. This Orientation spans 2-5 days and will take you through numerous sessions; including items such as a Visa Presentation, Document Check, Health Screening and Immunizations. 

After you have gained admission, we send regular emails containing pertinent information about Orientation and traveling to UCM. These communications will contain the Orientation dates and important information so it is important you check your email account frequently.  One to two weeks prior to your assigned Orientation date, you will receive a personalized schedule of events. 

Booking your flight

The closest airport to Warrensburg is the Kansas City International Airport (MCI). When booking your flight, make sure that you are aware of your dates of Orientation and the Last Date of Arrival as outlined in the Orientation communications. You will need to be on campus by the Last Date of Arrival in order to attend UCM for the semester you were admitted.
