Policy Statement
Out-of-town electives are handled differently than in-town electives. Elective information and course descriptions are available in the Electives database. You must be on campus to access the database or connected to UMKC VPN.
It is the student’s responsibility to arrange out-of-town electives. Students should keep their Education Team Coordinator informed of the status of these electives. Electives that have not been approved by the Council on Curriculum must be arranged prior to the beginning of the elective. The approval process is explained under “Procedures for Establishing New Electives.”
Years 5 and 6 students may not miss more than four blocks of Continuing Care Clinic per academic year. This allows for three blocks of out-of-town electives and one block of vacation. Year 4 students are allowed two blocks away from clinic per academic year. This allows for one elective block and one vacation block.
