To Add or Drop a course, please submit a request on myHSCP (under Student Portal).  It is helpful to have the UMKC course name, your high school instructors name, and your UMKC Student ID number.

 Drop Policy:

• A student may drop UMKC classes from a course up to 8 weeks after the start of the term and receive a 100% refund. After the 8th week of the term, a 50% refund and a W grade will be given (up to 10 weeks after the start of the term—there is no refund after the 9th week).  

• The deadline to withdraw with a “W” will be 12 weeks after the start of the term.  

• When a student withdraws after the 12th week, a ‘W' grade will be recorded on the student's UMKC transcript for each course. A change to a student's high school schedule does not automatically change the status at UMKC.  Students must complete a course drop request form to be removed from the UMKC course roster.  Students are responsible for notifying UMKC-HSCP of any schedule changes regarding dual credit courses. 

Withdrawal Deadlines for Dual Credit Courses

Petitions for Late Withdrawal 

• Students are required to submit a Petition for Late Withdrawal after the 12th week but petitions are not guaranteed to be approved.  

• Withdrawals must be initiated through the High School College Partnership office at 816-235-1165 or umkc-hscp@umkc.edu.
