UCM uses a single sing on (SSO) to access websites and applications. Login credentials (Username and Student ID) are sent by TSC@ucmo.edu upon admission to the student's personal email on record.
UCM's dual credit program has ample variety in course modalities available to students, including:
UCM ID cards are available upon request online through MyCentral with in-person pick up at our ID Center (government-issued photo ID required for pick up).
Your UCM ID gives you access to the bookstore, library services, performing arts and sporting events, as well as access to the Wellness and Rec Center (with paid membership fee).
There are a few things to know about dropping a college course:
UCM does not send grade reports to parents or students. Students can access final grades through MyCentral.
Final grades are generally available the Tuesday after finals week.
Missouri Senate Bill 997 established the seamless transferability of core college credits between all public four and two-year institutions in the state. This core transfer curriculum is known as CORE42 and it has been in place since 2018. See the CORE42 list here.
The completion of the CORE 42 at any public institution of higher education will transfer to every other public institution of higher education in the state and substitute for the receiving institution’s general education requirement. Individual courses that comprise the CORE 42 are guaranteed to transfer one-to-one among all public colleges and universities.
If transferring credits to other states, credits may or may not satisfy individual program requirements as this is dependent upon the course, major area of study, and/or specific institution requirements. See course transfer equivalencies here.
At UCM, high school graduates enrolling immediately after graduation and carrying dual credits are classified as incoming freshmen, instead of transfer students. Therefore, you will retain your full scholarship eligibility and see no negative impact on your financial aid.
Dual credit may in fact help your scholarship applications by establishing a college GPA before high school graduation. This gives you definite advantage come application time over students without college credits. Just be sure to maintain good grades!
Each tax year, the SFS office prepares a tax document, known as a 1098-T, for students that have made payments toward eligible billed charges, such as tuition. The IRS requires a valid mailing address and student social security number for 1098-T form submissions. See SFS FAQs to learn more about the 1098-T.
