Information regarding the disbursement of financial aid is handled by either the Financial Aid office or the Cashiers office. The Records and Registration Office processes enrollment verifications if you are a current UMKC student and need proof for deferring loans with other schools or lenders. Contact them at 816-235-1125 or at registrar@umkc.edu.

  • You may receive notifications that look like billing statements. Please refer to the "Amount Due", if it is $0.00 then this is simply a notification and not a bill.
  • The text portion of this statement is what is important. If there is an amount due and you feel you should be deferred, contact our department at 816-235-1365 or at studentloans@umkc.edu.

  • There are several reasons why a hold may have been placed on your account. Please contact 816-235-1365 or studentloans@umkc.edu.

  • You can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3243.

  • Deferments on loans that are repayable to UMKC, such as Federal Perkins Student Loans or Health Professions Student Loans are handled through the loan servicer ECSI. Forms are available on their website at https://borrower.ecsi.net
  • If you do not have loans repayable to UMKC, such as Stafford Loans, you will need to contact your lenders.

  • Loans are automatically reported as delinquent when they are 45 days or more past due.

  • If no arrangements are made and your loan becomes 120 days or more past due, we may assess up to 25% in collection charges on your loan.
  • If you cannot pay your loan - contact our office at 816-235-1365 or studentloans@umkc.edu and we can refer you to the agency handling your loan. 

  • If you received Financial Aid while at UMKC, you are required to complete an exit interview if you cease to attend UMKC at least half-time, even if you are planning to attend another University.
  • If completing an exit interview online is not possible, ECSI can send you the forms necessary to complete the process by mail. Please contact ECSI at 888-549-3274.

Depending on the loans you accepted while at UMKC, you will need to complete one or more of the following exit interviews. You agreed to this condition when you signed your promissory note or notes. You should pay careful attention to the information provided. This will assist you in responsibly handling your loans and avoid falling into default.  You must follow the procedures outlined for your exit requirements to be fulfilled. Failure to do so will result in a hold on grades, transcripts and registration until such time as you have completed your exit interview session or sessions.

When your exits are complete, please email proof of completion to studentloans@umkc.edu. We will verify the completion of your exit(s) based off of the confirmation you email us and then remove your hold(s). Call our office at (816) 235-1365 or email us if you have questions regarding your exit interview(s).

If you have made a request for your diploma or transcripts, and then received a denial message due to an exit interview hold(s), you will need to follow up with the Records Office at (816) 235-1125 or registrar@umkc.edu.
