An acceptance deposit and a matriculation deposit are required from successful applicants. Acceptance is conditional until all fees, paperwork, and coursework is completed. Failure to submit all documents and forms by the posted due dates will result in forfeiture of seat in the upcoming class. Acceptance and matriculation deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable to another program. Students who pay the seat deposit but do not attend will have their deposit forfeited. For those who pay their deposits and matriculate, the amount will be credited to their tuition.
For VA Students: If VA funding covers the full amount of tuition and mandatory fees to the University for the term, the tuition and fee credit balance on the account, including for deposits, will be refunded once funding is received.
Students paying for tuition are strongly encouraged to pay via KCU’s online payment portal. However, if a student wishes to pay via paper check, the payment should be made payable to Kansas City University (KCU) and sent to the address below:
KCU c/o Finance Office
1750 Independence Ave.

Global Health Outreach
Students in the DO program may choose to enroll in global health outreach trips during the course of their tenure at KCU.

- The full cost of the trip will be billed to the student. Billing typically occurs 60 days prior to departure.
- Deposits are generally required to secure enrollment in the trip and a deposit due date will be firmly adhered to. Deposits cannot be refunded after the deposit due date.
- The final balance is due prior to departure. The final balance due date is typically 14 days prior to departure. Refunds are not allowed after the final balance due date.
- Costs incurred by the University due to disruptive or inappropriate behavior of students during the trip, including, but not limited to, purchase of return airfare for the student, will be billed to the student and are due within 15 days.
