5000 Holmes St., G-04, Kansas City, MO 64110; at umkc.edu/isao;

Applicants who do not meet the standards for regular admission may be
considered for provisional admission to UMKC. If admitted, students may
be required to participate in an academic support program as a condition of
their admission. Supporting documentation may be requested.
GED HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY
Students can apply for admission based on the General Educational
Development or High School Equivalency tests. The GED or HiSET scores
must be passing in each area. GED or HiSET applicants also must submit
an ACT composite score of at least 24. Students not meeting these criteria
may be considered for provisional admission (see above) or mature adult
admission (see below).
If you have completed the required 17 units in high school (see list on page
4) and meet the standards in the chart at right, you will be admitted to
UMKC. Students who do not meet the automatic admission requirements
may be reviewed individually for provisional admission (see page 2).

MISSOURI ENHANCED ADMISSION
Graduate applicants should complete pages 5 and 6 of this
application. Admission is based upon criteria of the academic
unit. For more information, contact the school offering the
program or visit umkc.edu/catalog.
Students who graduated from high school more than five years prior and
have fewer than 24 transferable college credits may qualify for mature
adult admission consideration. These students must submit high school
transcripts or GED or HiSET, any college transcripts, ACT/SAT test results
or an ACT test waiver. Students should contact the Office of Admissions to
obtain the ACT test waiver petition if needed.

READMITTED STUDENTS
DUAL HIGH SCHOOL/UNIVERSITY ENROLLMENT
The university seeks a heterogeneous student body reflecting diversity
of race, ethnicity, age and geography (including international students).
Factors given prime consideration for admission to undergraduate study
are applicants’ previous academic success and the quality of records
presented. Applicants who do not meet criteria set forth may be considered
for admission by appealing and stating:
GRADUATE APPLICANTS
» Former students who attended another institution after leaving
MATURE ADULT
UMKC should use this application or apply online. Submit all
transcripts of college work taken since attending UMKC.
Former students who did not attend another institution and who
were not enrolled at UMKC in the semester before the term in
which they want to enroll should complete a request to re-enroll.
Find this form at go.umkc.edu/readmit.
High school students can be admitted in a special student category and
take college courses concurrently with high school courses. Students
must submit a special application for admission available at umkc.edu/
apply/special.cfm. Students are admitted based on academic standards
that exceed those required for admission from high school. Admissions
are limited and are subject to the space available in, and completion of
prerequisites for, the desired course or courses.
VISITING STUDENTS
HOME-SCHOOLED GRADUATES
»
If you wish to take courses for personal enrichment or are a
degree-seeking student at another institution and would like
to take courses to transfer back to your home institution,
complete the Visiting Student Application at umkc.edu/admissions/
visiting.cfm. Visiting students are not eligible for financial aid.
Graduates of home-school programs are required to complete the 17-unit
core college-preparatory curriculum (see page 4) and have a 24 ACT or
equivalent SAT score for regular admission to UMKC. Students not meeting
these criteria may be considered for provisional admission.
STUDENTS GRADUATING EARLY
FROM HIGH SCHOOL
High school students may be admitted before they graduate from high
school if they have completed all the requirements for graduation from
high school but will not receive a diploma until their class graduates.
Eligibility for admission is determined by the procedures established for
regular admission from high school. A high school counselor or principal
must certify that all graduation requirements have been met. Students are
admitted on an individual basis. The following information also is required:
application for admission, high school transcript and letter of approval from
a high school principal or counselor.
Admission to some academic programs is competitive, and admission to
UMKC does not guarantee admission to a desired major. Students who are
not admissible to these programs but who meet minimum criteria may be
admitted to University College.
Missouri residents who graduate in the top 10 percent of their class and meet
the 17-unit requirements (see page 4) are admissible regardless of ACT/SAT
score. Those who graduate from a high school that does not rank students
must have a 3.5 GPA in the 17 core curriculum classes.
ADDITIONAL FACTORS CONSIDERED FOR
ADMISSION
» The number and scope of college preparatory courses
» Evidence of marked improvement in high school academic record
» Extensive activities involving school, community or church
» Outstanding talent or ability
» Significant work experience or family responsibilities
TRANSFER
CRITERIA
UMKC values your previous college
experience and strives to make
your transition as easy as possible.
Applicants with 24 or more hours of transferable college-level coursework
need an overall 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale in all coursework attempted at
previous institutions. UMKC may recalculate GPAs as needed.
Applicants must have official transcripts from each college or university
attended sent to the Office of Admissions before their application can be
considered. If a student does not have 24 hours of transferable college-level
coursework, admission is determined by including freshman admissions
criteria. Some admissions decisions are made by the academic unit/
department. Students who are not admissible to these programs but who
meet minimum criteria for admission may be admitted to University College.
