Attire Distribution We have moved the location of attire pick-up from Kesselheim Center to the Academic Center. Rather than “drive-thru” at Kesselheim Center, you will come inside the Academic Center to pick up attire. You may park in the covered garage to the north of the new Center for Medical Education Innovation (CMEI). In order to manage traffic flow, we ask that you follow the alphabetic pick-up timeline provided below. The campus may have changed some since you were here last, so please reference this campus map to access the parking garage. (Access the campus entrance from Independence by going north on The Paseo, and then east on Missouri Avenue.) College of Biosciences Arrival Window First Letter of Last Name 9:00-9:30 A – G College of Osteopathic Medicine Arrival Window First Letter of Last Name 10:30-11:00 A – B KCU requires that anyone entering campus successfully complete the Health Screening and wear a mask at all times. |

Parking: In your attire package, you will receive one parking validation ticket to park in the Barney Allis parking garage at 1237 Central Street, across the street to the north of Municipal Auditorium. If the garage says it is “full” please note that this does not apply to those with validations and you may still park there. Additional lots and garages may be found throughout downtown here. If you requested handicapped parking for a guest, please have them check in with University Security at 13th and Central.
