When you think about heading back to campus, especially for university, a few things immediately spring to mind: classes, dorm life, and, of course, getting your hands on all the necessary course materials. For students at the University of Central Missouri (UCM), the University Store is that central hub, a place that’s been a steadfast partner in education for over 75 years.
It’s easy to see the University Store primarily as a place for textbooks, and it certainly excels there. They’re the go-to source for both undergraduate and graduate students, offering a smart approach to acquiring those essential reads. What’s particularly noteworthy is their long-standing textbook rental program. For decades, this program has been a lifeline for students, helping to keep the rising costs of education in check. It’s a clear demonstration of UCM’s commitment to making education accessible. Whether you prefer the feel of a physical book or the convenience of digital formats, the store provides options, even offering real-time price comparisons to ensure you’re getting the best deal for your course materials.
But the University Store is more than just a textbook warehouse. It’s also the place to snag all sorts of UCM pride items – think apparel and merchandise that lets you show your allegiance. Need school supplies or art products for those creative projects? They’ve got you covered. And when that big graduation day finally arrives, the store is where you’ll find your regalia. Plus, for those quick grabs between classes or late-night study sessions, the convenience items at the Mule Stop are a lifesaver.
Shopping here is designed to be straightforward. You have the flexibility to browse and buy either online or in person. The main University Store and Mule Stop are conveniently located in The Crossing, right at the intersection of South Street and Holden Street in Warrensburg. For those on the Missouri Innovation Campus, there’s a dedicated location at 1101 NW Innovation Parkway in Lee's Summit. So, whether you’re stocking up for the semester or grabbing a UCM hoodie, the University Store is there to make it easy.
