Returning Roos
If you've taken a few semesters off as a degree-seeking UMKC student and want to come back, you can request to re-enroll as a returning student or apply for readmission.
You Can Afford to Come Back
We don't want the fear of going further into debt deter you from returning for your degree. We provide scholarships for returning undergraduate students.
Automatic scholarships
If you were recently enrolled at UMKC as an undergradute student and received an automatic scholarship, we may be able to reinstate your award.
Competitive scholarships
Returning students are eligible to apply for competitive scholarships.
Do I Have to Start Over?
Previously enrolled degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate students may request to re-enroll in their program if they have been away from UMKC for a limited time and did not enroll at another college.
Undergraduate students
Request to re-enroll if you have been out of your undergraduate program for less than three consecutive Fall and Spring semesters. You must also meet the requirements to re-enroll.
Graduate students
Request to re-enroll if you have been out of your advanced degree program for less than two consecutive Fall and Spring semesters. You must also meet the requirements to re-enroll.
How Do I Apply for Readmission?
If you do not meet the requirements for re-enrollment, you must apply to UMKC for readmission. But there's good news — you do not have to pay the application fee this time. Students who have taken courses at another college in their time away from UMKC must apply as a transfer student.
