UMKC Connect is the name of our university’s EAB/Starfish retention software module. It gives you a convenient way to keep track of your students – raising flags when you observe a pattern of behavior that concerns you, ensuring that the people on campus who can intervene are aware.  It also allows your students to easily book an appointment with you or someone else who can help. UMKC Connect will automatically display all students that you have been assigned or are enrolled in your courses.
