Student Services
Our Student Services department is made up of caring individuals truly dedicated to addressing your needs and enhancing your student experience. Serving as your support system away from home, our approachable team welcomes you to stop by and take advantage of their myriad services, from mentoring and tutoring to organized community service and networking events.
We know the value of a good mentor. That’s why we pair you with a second-year student even before you arrive on campus. Your Big Brother or Sister will help you transition into medical school with handy tips and provide you encouragement throughout your academic career.
Our faculty are also here to guide you. Starting at orientation, you’ll meet with your faculty advisor and begin building a rapport that will follow you throughout your career.
We understand that students sometimes face intense academic challenges, and it’s possible that medical school will be the first time some students find themselves dealing with these issues. We offer learning enhancement and support services designed to improve your academic skills, including time management, study skills and test-taking abilities. Workshops and tutoring at no cost are also available to qualified students.
Find what you’re looking for at our D’Angelo Library located on the KCU Kansas City campus. Our library is constantly adding new acquisitions to its already impressive reserve of databases, ebooks and ejournals. Our friendly and committed staff is always on hand to answer your questions and assist you with any of our services and resources available.
Your safety is our number one priority. Our award-winning campus security team exercises precautions from on-campus officers to ID building access and top-notch surveillance for your security.
Community Service and Outreach
KCU offers annual opportunities for you to participate in local and global service, from volunteering in our community garden to traveling to underserved countries on medical mission trips.
iPads for Students
KCU provides tablet technology to all of our students. You’ll receive the newest model of iPad available as of March the year you matriculate. The iPad offers 64 GB of storage and is WiFi only (no direct cellular capability). iPads are distributed during orientation week. By providing you with tools and resources to help you achieve your goals, we hope to help you succeed at every level of your career.
