When/how do I register for classes?

• Continuing students: be sure to check your UMKC email. You will receive an email from UMKC with a priority registration time. You can also check Pathway (see below) for your registration time.
  
• New students: You will be able to enroll during open enrollment. See UMKC's Academic Calendar for specific dates. After your first semester at UMKC you will also be assigned a priority registration time/date.
  
• Some students are required to be advised prior to enrollment. (Advising requirements are here.)
• There are two ways to register:
  • Online (Pathway)
  • In person (115 Administrative Center)
• A great place for additional information is UMKC’s Registration Guide.
• More information about Pathway, including interactive tutorials, is here.

Adding Courses

• Click here to download an add/drop slip.
• Students can add classes without signature through the first week of the semester.
• Starting the second week of the semester, the Bloch School requires BOTH an instructor’s and advisor’s signature on an add/drop slip to add the student into a course.
• Courses that are full, but with additional capacity and without a wait list, cannot be added unless BOTH the instructor and an advisor sign a drop/add slip approving an overload.

Dropping Courses

• Click here to download an add/drop slip.
• Students can drop classes without signature through the published deadline to withdraw without assessment.
• After that time, students will be withdrawing with academic assessment. A withdraw passing is noted as a “W” and has no impact on a student’s grade point average. A withdraw failing, notated “WF,” counts as an “F” in the student’s GPA. Although withdrawal through Pathway is allowed during the "with assessment" period, we encourage students to talk with their instructor to learn if they will be assessed as "W" or "WF."
• Check the academic calendar for refund information and deadlines.
• Before dropping courses, students may need to seek academic advising or discuss their plans with financial aid or scholarship representatives.
• If you are withdrawing from all your courses, a Term Withdrawal exit interview is required. Click here to link to the exit interview site. Your UMKC SSO and password are required.
