The following
information generally outlines the elements of the program:
-
Courses offered are UMKC courses in a variety of
disciplines at the introductory level. The specific
courses may vary from semester to semester, but the offerings in any semester
will be those agreed upon by the
University of Missouri‑Kansas City and the school district.
-
Courses will follow syllabi or course outline provided by the University and
approved by the District, and will utilize
textbooks approved by the University and the District.
-
The courses will be taught at the high school by a member of the high school
faculty whose credentials have been
approved by the faculty in the department of the University offering the course.
The high school teacher may be
given the title of adjunct faculty in the department.
-
A faculty member will be designated by the department offering the course as
the liaison between the teacher and
the course and the department of the University. This person will coordinate the
activities of the department and
the school district to assure that courses are taught at a level comparable to
identical courses on the UMKC
campus.
-
Students from the district, enrolled as non-degree
seeking freshmen at UMKC, earn college credit recorded in their official UMKC
student records. An official transcript of credit offerings
will be issued by UMKC under the usual regulations and will be forwarded to other colleges and universities upon
request. The credit work taken through this program will be applicable toward the quantitative fulfillment of credit
hour requirements for a bachelor's degree should the student choose to enroll at UMKC after graduation from high school.
-
Copies of final exams will be submitted to the appropriate department
coordinator at the University for review prior
to administration of the exam.
-
Students will have University library privileges during the time they are
enrolled in the courses, and an appropriate
library card will be issued to the students by the University.
-
The University will charge one-third the current
educational fee established by the Board of Curators for full‑time
university students for
those enrolled at UMKC through the HSCP.
