High school counselors and site coordinators connect the high school to UMKC. They promote HSCP dual credit opportunities to students, collect teacher credentials, determine student eligibility and assist in the enrollment process.
UMKC department chairs and faculty coordinators are UMKC faculty members who help design and deliver the dual credit courses offered in high schools. They help ensure that dual credit courses are equivalent to the courses offered on campus. Visit the Faculty and Teacher Resource page for a list of Faculty Coordinators.
UMKC dual credit instructors are highly qualified teachers vetted by UMKC Faculty. The Missouri Coordinating Board of Higher Education requires dual credit instructors to meet the same qualifications as adjunct faculty teaching the same course on campus.
Dual credit instructors must have a master’s degree and a minimum of 18 graduate-level credit hours appropriate to the academic field in which they are teaching.
Approval of specific courses and respective dual credit instructors will be based upon credentials and recommendations of the department chair.
Instructors must complete a class roster listing all participating dual credit students and their GPA/ACT score. Class roster verification will take place in the myHSCP portal.
