Registration Announcements

In order to withdraw from ALL of your classes at UMKC, you must complete the Total Withdrawal Form.

Students may drop classes on Pathway until Friday, March 7. After that date, drops must be processed in the Registration office, 115 Administrative Center. If you cannot appear in person, you can complete and add/drop form and mail or fax it to the Registration office.

To select classes, log on to Pathway and click on Class Search or use My Class Scheduler at www.umkc.edu/registrar/myclassscheduler/. Once you have decided which classes to take, you can register yourself. Pathway is a simple way to register for classes online. You can register, drop and add courses and access your grades without coming to campus.

Priority Registration
During priority registration, continuing students cannot register before their assigned registration appointment time. Students may look up their registration appointment time on Pathway two to three weeks before registration begins.

Pathway Help
For a tutorial on how to register for classes in the new Pathway system, visit www.umkc.edu/registrar/pathway.asp or e-mail pathway@umkc.edu.

Registration Dates
There are specific start and end dates for registration. See page 2 for a complete list.

Late Registration Fee
A fee of $35 will be charged to students who register once the term begins.

Class Permission
If a class is limited to a specific population of students, you may have to get permission to add it to your schedule. The department offering the course can enter this permission in Pathway so you can register yourself.

Enrollment Shopping Cart
In order to register for classes, you must first place them in your enrollment shopping cart. If you do not intend to take the classes, make sure to remove them from your shopping cart so the system does not automatically enroll you.

Technical Question
Contact the Call Center at callcenter@ umkc.edu or 816-235-2000.

Pathway Registration Error Messages

Access denied
You have not granted your consent to do business with the university online. Click on the UM E-consent link in the blue Pathway menu on the left, grant consent, and re-log into Pathway.

This is not a valid class number.
The class number is the 5-digit reference number that tells the computer which section of a particular course you want to enroll in (eg. 45678). Spring class numbers all begin with the number 1, Summer class numbers begin with a 3 and Fall class numbers begin with a 4.

You have already taken this class. You have now exceeded the repeatable limit for this class. Verify that this class will apply toward your course of study.
This is only a warning message. You have been enrolled in the class, but you should double-check with your advisor that it will count toward your degree. If you are retaking a class to improve your GPA, you must complete a form in the Registrar’s office for the previous grade to be removed from your GPA.

You have a hold on your record. The hold on your record must be removed before this transaction can be processed.
To view the holds on your record, return to Self-Service > Student Center. Holds are displayed in a blue box in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Unable to add this class—requisites have not been met. Check the class description for a list of enrollment requirements.
Some classes are restricted to students in specific majors or require a minimum number of credit hours completed. Click on the class number on the online class search for information on requisites for a particular class.

Unable to complete your request. You do not have access to perform this transaction at this time.
There are multiple reasons you might see this message:
• Your registration appointment time has not yet arrived.
• You have not yet been admitted to UMKC. Contact the Admissions office at 816-235-1111.
• Open registration is over. To add classes, you will need to complete an add/drop form and obtain a signature from each instructor.

Unable to add this class—term maximum exceeded. Adding this class would exceed the maximum number of units or courses allowed for this term.
You are trying to enroll in more credit hours than is permitted by your academic unit. See your academic adviser to request permission to take more hours.

You cannot drop this class. Dropping this class would put you below the minimum required units.
You may not drop all of your classes on Pathway. To drop all of your classes you must complete an exit interview questionnaire available at https://www.umkc.edu/stu-aff/exit/login.cfm.

Note:
• Law students must get a signature from the law school in order to drop below 12 hours.
• Athletes must get a signature from the Athletic Student Services office to drop below 12 hours.
• International students must get a signature from the International Student Affairs office to drop below 12 hours.

Dropping a Class

You may drop classes in the same way you register for classes. Always confirm your withdrawal by printing a copy of your class schedule from Pathway or obtaining a copy from the Registration Center. Withdrawing from classes does not release you from financial obligations to the University. See Page 2 for refund percentage deadlines. If you have any problems or questions when dropping a class, contact the Registration Center at 816-235-1125.

No one (including faculty and advisers) can withdraw for you. Check the withdrawal deadlines in the academic calendar on Page 1. Undergraduate and graduate student withdrawal deadlines differ and are strictly enforced. If you require advising or have questions, contact your academic adviser before withdrawing.

Official Withdrawals
Official withdrawals can be done by mail when a student is unable to appear in person (for example, if you are out of town or suffering from an illness or accident) or if the Registration Office is closed or Pathway is down (for example, during a power outage) and you wish to receive a certain refund. The postmark on the envelope is used as the refund date.

Total Withdrawals
Students wishing to withdraw from all of their classes must complete an exit interview questionnaire available at https://www.umkc.edu/stu-aff/exit/login.cfm. If you received financial aid for the Summer/Fall 2008 semester you may be required to pay back all or a portion of the aid you received.

Actions that are not considered official notification of withdrawal
Assuming classes will be cancelled for nonpayment, failure to attend class, giving notice to an instructor, stopping payment on a check used to pay fees, crossing out courses on a schedule, returning only partial payment to the Cashier’s Office or verbal notice to any University office.
