Update secondary email address

The UMKC email address is considered the official form of communication and cannot be changed.

When you applied for admission, you provided a secondary email address. This will not be used while you are a student at UMKC, but it may be used in emergency situations if we are unable to reach you via other methods. To update this email address, complete the student information change form.

Unless a student is receiving federal financial aid, the social security number is not a required part of the student's academic record.
