If maintenance repairs are needed, please make sure this is noted on the Room Condition/Inventory Form upon checking in.  The ACA will generate a work order to Facilities Planning & Operations (Greenwood Park and Central Village only); however, during the school year YOU may initiate a work order for maintenance issues using the guide below:

You are responsible for paying the gas and electric at Greenwood Park and Central Village.  Failure to do so will result in a $15.00 monthly service charge for each utility bill we receive and may possibly lead to termination of your Housing Agreement.  If this has not been done yet, you will need to contact the following companies ASAP: 

• Gas - Missouri Gas Energy:  1 (800) 582-1234
• Electric - Kansas City Power & Light: 1 (888) 471-5275

The laundry machines/dryers are free to use; however, they are operated by your student ID.  Your student ID will operate the machines if you have an active Housing Agreement to live your designated building.

Laundry facilities are located:

Greenwood Park: the Community Building (Greenwood Park)

Central Village:  The Community Building and the basement of Building 5 (Central Village). 

Greenwood Park apartment keys will allow you access to the laundry room in the Greenwood Park Community Building; Central Village apartment keys allow you access to laundry facilities in building 5 and the Community Building.   All other apartments have laundry facilities located within their building.

In case of emergency such as a tornado:

Greenwood Park:  The Community Building serves as a storm shelter as it was built for such purposes.

Central Village:  Storm shelters are located at the back of Buildings 1 and 3 which will be opened in case of such emergencies.

In Nickerson, Todd, Foster-Knox, and The Crossing:  please find shelter at the lowest floor in your hall; find directions for emergency procedures in hallways and/or back of room doors.

Please note that personal routers are not allowed on campus as they interfere with the university’s network. Information will be available when you check in.   Helpful information regarding getting the most out of your WiFi signal can be found on the Technology Support Center page. 

To directly register devices to connect to wifi, please visit https://student.devices.ucmo.edu.  Students are allowed to register 3 devices.  Devices that can connect wireless include various game systems, smart TVs, streaming devices (such as Roku, Firestick, etc).  Laptops, phones, tablets, etc. that can login using network ID and password do not need to register.

Starting fall 2021, cable television will not be provided by UCM.  Upgrades will occur to allow more streaming options/devices.  

During your selected check out time with the ACA/CA staff who will inspect your room and complete the checkout process, your apartment MUST be clean.

To avoid cleaning charges, all apartments must be thoroughly cleaned before checking out. The information below explains how you should clean your apartment. Every apartment must be cleaned before EACH resident in each apartment checks out. If your apartment is not clean, your ACA/CA will not check you out, resulting in at least a $50 improper checkout fine.
