Welcome to Park University and Enrollment Services!

Enrollment Services is a one stop shop to take care of all your student service needs in one central location. Admissions/registration, student records, financial aid, advising, and access services can be found right here at the  Norrington  Center  with friendly staff ready to assist you. In this first section of the orientation, you will learn about using the MyPark student portal  (which is your online access to Park University) and Park University degree requirements. Sit back, relax, and prepare to be successful at Park University!

MyPark

The MyPark student portal is your online access 'portal' to everything at Park University.  The portal is accessible at https://my.park.edu. To sign into MyPark, your student ID number will serve as your username and you password will be that which was sent to you upon your admission to the university.

     * If you cannot locate your password, you can click the 'Forgot Password' link below the login fields to retrieve it.  You may, also, contact Enrollment Services by phone only at 1-877-505-1059, option #2.

Within MyPark, you can log into your Park Google Apps account (your student email), your online classroom(s), student schedule, account statement, and degree audit, just to name a few.

How do you change your password?

Click the Change Password Setup link on the HOME tab of the portal.  Passwords must be 6-8 characters in length and contain a letter and a number (but not your Park ID).  You will, also, be able to setup security questions for future retrieval of your password should you forget it.

Who can you contact if you have trouble using MyPark?

You can contact the Information Technology HelpDesk at helpdesk@park.edu or 816-584-6768.

Degree Audit

The degree audit is your guide to completing a degree at Park University. You will find all the requirements for your particular degree program listed on your degree audit. You can view your degree audit in your MyPark account under the "Student" tab. We recommend that you view your degree audit in MyPark prior to speaking with an Enrollment Counselor. An Enrollment Services Counselor will be happy to review your degree audit with you and answer any questions that you have.

When you review your degree audit you will find it is divided up into several sections. Those areas and their requirements are listed below:

Overall Total hours (120-122 hrs)

At least 122 for a Bachelor of Arts (BA)

At least 120 for a Bachelor of Science (BS)

It is important to remember that you may earn more than 120-122 overall credit hours, but you may still need to complete the specific course requirements in each section of the degree audit in order to graduate.

Upper Division hours (45 hrs)

45 hours of Upper Division course work is required for most degrees. Any 300 – 400 level course listed on your degree audit counts as upper division. It is possible that some of your transfer hours which were upper division classes at your previous college/university might be equivalent to a Park University lower division course and will transfer as lower division.

Core Requirements / Major Courses

Core courses are the courses relating directly to your major. For instance, if you are majoring in Management, core courses are the hours listed under the Management Core Requirement section. The number of required courses in your core area varies based on your selected degree program.

Frequently, transfer students have some classes from other colleges or universities that transfer in as electives.
