Must I be admitted to UMKC to take continuing education courses?
No. Admission to continuing education courses is by self-certification. Transcripts aren't required.
What about fees?
A course fee is listed with each course. Partnership courses have a reduced fee while regular CE classes have the regular university graduate fee. Enrollment in an on-campus course where a facility fee is assessed entitles you to full use of the Swinney Recreation Center's pool, gym, running track, fitness room and basketball, handball and racquetball courses for the session in which you're enrolled. The University reserves the right to change fees without notice.
How do I pay fees?
You will be billed for your fees by the
Cashier’s Office. Once you are enrolled you can pay
anytime. To pay, visit
http://www.umkc.edu/adminfinance/finance/cashiers/ . Call the Cashier’s Office with payment questions at 816-235-1365.
UMKC accepts MasterCard and Discover only if paying by credit card for fee payment.
You will need your UMKC Single Sign-On (SSO) and password. Contact Information Systems if you have questions at (816) 235-2000 or visit the following web site: http://www.umkc.edu/exchange-faq/ .
Do out-of-state students pay more?
Nonresident tuition is due only if you enroll in more than three hours during summer or more than six hours for fall, winter or intersessions. Also, UMKC waives the fee for those who pay Missouri income tax. (Provide your most recent Missouri tax return and W-2 form with your registration.) International students on student visas (F-1 and J-1 status) are not eligible for the nonresident fee waiver through the Missouri Taxpayer Scholarship.
It is the student's responsibility to furnish this information to
the Cashier's Office.
Call the Cashier's Office for further information at (816) 235-1365.
If I have a degree, do I pay undergraduate or graduate tuition?
Students with a bachelor's degree pay graduate tuition for all coursework. Courses numbered at the 400- level may be taken by undergraduate or graduate students, while 500- level courses and above may be taken only by students with a degree.
Do continuing education credit courses appear on my transcript?
Yes. When you complete a continuing education credit course, it will appear on your official transcript
under the title Special Topics. Please keep your syllabus if you need
more detailed information regarding the class for recertification
purposes, etc.
To request a transcript, make your request in person at the Records Office, University of Missouri-Kansas City, Administrative Center, 5115 Oak; or in writing to: Transcript Request, University of Missouri-Kansas City, Administrative Center, 5100 Rockhill Road, Kansas City, MO 64110. There is a fee for transcripts.
For more information, contact the UMKC Transcripts Office at 816-235-1122.
Can the courses be used on graduate degree programs?
You can apply courses to an advanced degree program if:
- You are formally admitted to UMKC, and
- You have received approval from your faculty adviser to include the course(s) in your program of study.
How do I get information on admission to the graduate program?
Enrolling in a graduate-level course through the Continuing Education Division does not ensure your admission to the graduate program. Application for admission to UMKC is available in the Student Services Office in the School of Education, Room 129.
For application or degree program information, call Student Services, (816) 235-2234.
When will I get my grades?
Students are assigned UMKC signons and passwords to access the Pathway
system.
Students can access grades shortly after the end of the semester (see
UMKC Calendar for specific dates).
UMKC no longer mails grades to students.
Grade access on the Web is available at www.umkc.edu/registrar/. Call Registration for more information at (816) 235-1125. Ask about grade access. Call (816) 235-1122 for transcript information.
If the drop occurs before the first class meeting, you'll get a full refund except for ASCD classes. To drop a course please notify Continuing Education in writing.
There are no refunds for withdrawals once the course has begun for continuing education classes
lasting fewer than three days. If the class is 3 days or longer, refunds
are based on the amount of time left in the course. If the course has
ended, no refunds are given. If you are given a login for an ASCD
class, no refunds are given once a login is created (usually one week before the
course begins). If you withdraw from a course after the semester is over,
you will be responsible for your fees.
