Policy Statement

Academic Program Rates for all undergraduate academic programs/plans (degree/major/emphasis and certificates) will be approved by the Board of Curators and communicated annually.

  • Academic Program Rates will be classified as either General Education Program Rate, Base Program Rate or Differential Program Rate to ensure optimal communication.
  • Academic Program Rates for programs/plans (degree/major/emphasis and certificates) within an academic unit/school may vary between the Base Program Rate and Differential Program Rates.
  • Differential Academic Program Rates may vary by program/plan (degree/major/emphasis and certificates).

Term Tuition Assessment:

Term Tuition for all degree-seeking students will be assessed based on the following:

  • The General Education Program Rate will be applied to all general education course enrollment as designated by the UMKC Essentials and/or the MDHEWD Core 42 programs. Please Note: exception of students admitted into professional programs (for example, MD program).

  • An Academic Program Rate determined by the student’s officially recorded academic program/plan(s) will be applied to all course enrollment not designated as general education.

  • A single, Academic Program Rate will be applied to a student’s enrollment each term. For students with multiple program/plans, the highest officially recorded academic program/plan rate will be applied.

  • Billing adjustments will be made upon changes to a student’s officially recorded academic program/plan(s) through the 100% refund period.

Term Tuition for all Visiting and UMX students will be assessed at the Base Academic Program Rate regardless of the courses they enroll in.

Term Tuition for all post Bac students will be assessed at the Academic Program Rate for the program in which they are admitted.
