The UMKC School of Pharmacy is no longer admitting students to the provisional admission pathway. Students wishing to complete the prerequisites at UMKC can apply as a pre-pharmacy student. Pre-pharmacy students at UMKC will work with School of Pharmacy academic advisors to ensure proper course placement and guidance to prepare for application to the Pharm.D. program.

On-Campus Housing at UMKC or MU

Pharm.D. applicants that selected UMKC as their first or only preference who are interested in on-campus housing at UMKC should contact the Residential Life Office at (816) 235-8840 or visit their web site at www.umkc.edu/housing. Students interested in obtaining a space in one of the UMKC residence halls must fill out an online contract for housing, which can be found on the housing website.

Pharm.D. applicants who selected the pharmacy satellite campus at MU as their first or only preference who are interested in on-campus housing at MU should visit the Residential Life websitefor information and housing contract process. Fall 2012 contracts will be available to all newly admitted MU students in March. ROAR (Residents Online Access to Rooms) will be available for new students to begin selecting their rooms in early April depending on the date of their admission application. On-campus housing spaces are extremely limited at MU for new students. Only Pharm.D. applicants that have been admitted to the program will be able to complete a Fall 2012 housing contract for MU unless previously admitted to MU. Alternatively, applicants to the Pharm.D. program who wish to compete for MU on-campus housing space early may wish to apply for admission directly to MU as a pre-pharmacy student, and once admitted, complete the Fall housing contract in March. Applicants who plan to apply for on-campus housing at MU as either new or returning students should contact the MU Residential Life Office.
