MD Students -Please contact your respective Student Affairs Office for more information.
Students must officially drop or withdraw from classes and non-attendance does not constitute a drop or withdrawal. You can not completely withdraw from all of your classes online via Enroll and Pay. Tuition and fees are adjusted according to the adjustment schedule in the academic calendar. Students receiving financial assistance are also encouraged to visit Student Financial Aid prior to withdrawing from classes.
The effects of withdrawing from courses on a transcript are as follows for regular 15 week undergraduate and graduate courses. The dates are pro-rated for summer and non-regular courses.

Dropping an Individual Course
Canceling or Withdrawing From all of Your Classes
Leave of Absence (LOA)
Reactivation
You can drop individual classes online via Enroll and Pay through the 5th day of classes. Login to Enroll and Pay, navigate to the Student Center, select Drop a Class, and follow the instructions. You can not cancel or withdraw from your last course via Enroll and Pay. After the 5th day of classes, you can only drop individual classes with a paper drop form.
Canceling or Withdrawing From all of Your Classes
Canceling/Withdrawing from all of your classes must be approved by your academic department and Graduate Studies/International Programs (if applicable). To request a cancellation or withdrawal, go to myKUMC, navigate to the Services tab and go to the Leave of Absence/Withdrawal/Cancellation channel.
The Office of the Registrar will contact you once the cancellation or withdrawal has been approved.
If you cancel your classes in the fall or spring semester, you will not be eligible to re-enroll at KUMC without completing a reactivation form and paying the $50 reactivation fee. If you cancel your summer courses, you will be eligible to enroll for the following fall semester only without having to complete a reactivation form.
Students may request a leave of absence if they are not intending on being continuously enrolled. A LOA must be approved by your academic department and Graduate studies/International Program (if applicable). Student network and email accounts remain active during the LOA period.
Policies Regarding Leave of Absences
To request a leave of absence, go to myKUMC, navigate to the Services tab, go to the Leave of Absence/Withdrawal/Cancellation channel, select Leave of Absence Request, and the semester. If you are intending on finishing the semester and taking a LOA for a future semester, select the semester that you intend to take the LOA. If you are not going to finish the current semester, a LOA will also withdraw you from your courses. The Office of the Registrar will contact you once the LOA has been approved.
If you don’t enroll for the fall or spring semester after your LOA, your program will be discontinued and you must submit a reactivation form and pay the $50 reactivation fee in order to re-enroll.
Students who are not continuously enrolled or on active LOA status (except for the summer semester) must be reactivated and are assessed a $50 reactivation fee. If a student has not enrolled in over a year, their eligibility to have their status re-activated will be verified with their academic department by the Office of the Registrar.
The Office of the Registrar will contact you once the request has been approved.
The effective date of any the above requests is based on when the student submits the request but students are encouraged to submit requests well in advance of the deadline.
Any questions, please contact the Office of the Registrar at 913-588-7055 or kumcregistrar@kumc.edu.
