Policy Statement

All course instruction information must be updated prior to the start of each semester in Pathway, which serves as UMKC’s system of record. Pathway schedule of classes data is uploaded to MyVita in order to provide a more accurate view of course teaching assignments and loads at the University.

Course instruction information consists of the following data elements

Assignment of the course instructor and all team instructors and GTA’s if applicable

  • Workload percentages included with instructor assignment on each class section in order to provide accurate workload percentages
  • University approved attributes added to classes (e.g., undergraduate research)
  • Class section meeting times meeting patterns (e.g., MWF)
  • Class notes if required to provide more information to students
  • Class topics for courses offered as special topics (topics are printed on UMKC transcripts and provide more granular course information about the section completed)
  • All course instruction information must be submitted via the initial galley to the Registration and Records Office. Each semester’s schedule is initially created by copying the last semester’s schedule. Classes are edited based on what each department intends to offer for the new semester.
