Accepted applicants need to make sure payment is received according to the following schedule:

  • Those accepted prior to Nov. 15 will have until Dec. 14.
  • Those accepted between Nov. 15 and Jan. 14 will have 30 days.
  • Those accepted between Jan. 15 and May 14 will have 14 days.
  • Those accepted on or after May 15 will be asked for an immediate deposit.

Matriculation Deposit

  • Those accepted prior to February 15 will have until March 1.
  • Those accepted between February 15 and May 31 will have 14 days to submit a combined acceptance and matriculation deposit totaling $2,000.
  • Those accepted on or after June 1 may be asked for an immediate deposit of $2,000.
Payment is credited toward tuition once payment of the balance of the tuition is received.
$1,000

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.
Kansas City, MO 64106

Note: Withdrawing prior to matriculation does not negate the no-refund policy.

Tuition and fees charges are billed by semester. Payment for charges is due and payable in full before the first day of class each term, unless payment arrangements have been made with the Finance office or when students have loan applications for amounts sufficient to cover tuition on file in Financial Aid.

The tuition refund shall follow the Institutional Refund Policy; please review policy for details.
