Ready for the start of a new semester?

As we prepare for the start of a new school year, here are some things to check off your list:

• Parking Permits.  Remember, permits can only be purchased on-line and will be mailed to you. at the end of the application process, a temp tag is available to print—simply place this on your dash until you receive the hang-tag in the mail.  Again—you will not be able to purchase permits in person.  For more information, see Parking Operations.
• Books and Supplies.  You can print your book list, compare prices, and purchase your books all on the UMKC Bookstores website.  Select in-store pick-up to save on shipping costs.  The UMKC Bookstores also have computers, computer accessories, and any supplies you might need.
• Solar Eclipse.  UMKC will be open on the first day of classes, which also happens to be the date of a once-in-a-lifetime event, the solar eclipse!  Be sure to step outside (with proper safety glasses!) to take a peek as this phenom passes us by.  We’re not in the path of totality, but it’ll be a close one!  For more information, check out this website.
• Welcome Week!  For great ideas on fun activities to meet your fellow students, check out the events hosted during Welcome Week and more during the first 40 days of the semester.

Wishing everyone a successful and productive Fall semester!
