Mandatory UMKC International Student Orientation

You will be required to attend an in-person orientation upon arrival. You will not be able to register for classes until you have checked in and completed this. Orientation will provide a good introduction to UMKC.

 

Please note that all new international students will be charged a one time $200 administrative fee which is not covered by the Exchange Partner Award

 

ALL Exchange Students will also be charged for UMKC International Student Health insurance -- UMKC no longer accepts health insurance from other countries. The cost of the mandatory health insurance is approximately $500 for fall semester and $660 for Spring/Summer semester. For an academic year, it is approximately $1,200 per student. This fee (and the $200 administrative fee mentioned above) will be placed on your student Pathway billing account.
