The 欧美视频 is enhancing its partnership with to make continuing their education even more convenient and affordable for military
and military-affiliated personnel. Thanks to improvements made this spring, UCM is
now offering additional opportunities for remote learning at the base.
The university has offered Whiteman servicemen and women a number of military benefits
for some time. These include tuition assistance, access to Student Services on Whiteman,
reduction or elimination of some fees, priority for course enrollment and access to
UCM鈥檚 award-winning Military and Veterans Success Center and Student Recreation and Wellness Center. UCM also provides industry-recognized
certifications for eligible military spouses through the MyCAA program.
UCM has recently upgraded its classroom facilities to allow additional Zoom virtual
instruction including the addition of a Conference Room on Wheels (CROW) and enhanced
bandwidth for Zoom course delivery. This is increasing the availability of day and
evening courses offered for military and military-affiliated individuals at Whiteman
Air Force Base by eliminating commuting requirements. Please note that due to the
global pandemic, UCM is only offering online programming for summer 2020.
Eliminating the drive to either the Lee鈥檚 Summit or Warrensburg campus reduces the
amount of time away from the job and also provides the flexibility for military members
to pursue the more traditional daytime college programs.
