Students in 100% online degree programs will be charged the Online Course Fee, the Information Technology Fee and the Library Fee. Students in traditional degree programs will be charged the traditional ancillary fees. The assessment of the fees is based on your academic program (online degree or traditional degree) and not necessarily, how the class is being delivered. The ancillary fees are used to pay the year round cost of the services and units which they support—even if virtual over the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.
An Online Degree Program is defined as a degree program where all or nearly all of course delivery is intended through online distance learning through the entire degree program. Click here to go to the Missouri Online website to see the Online Degree Programs that UMKC offers.
A Traditional Degree Program is defined as any degree program where through the course of the entire program, courses are intended to be primarily scheduled in a classroom setting with online and blended courses offered as an option. A traditional program that is taught via face-to-face or blended format and then switches to online format (as in the case of during the COVID-19 pandemic) still maintains the definition of a Traditional Degree Program and will be charged as such.
