Before you arrive at KUMC for Orientation Week, you will need to go through the Technology Checklist. This checklist will tell you what you need to install before starting classes and provides help for each item on the list. You will also need to have the Duo Mobile App installed in order to access many of the resources from off-campus.
All KUMC students have a license to Microsoft Office 365, access your account, and login with your KUMC credentials. You may immediately use the web app versions of Office Online at the bottom of the landing page on any Internet enabled device.
