Arrival and Orientation

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. 

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.
