3. Sign your Master Promissory Note
Once you have completed entrance counseling, you will be required to digitally sign a Master Promissory Note (MPN). A master promissory note (MPN) is a legally binding contract between the borrower and the US Department of Education. When this contract is signed the borrower is agreeing to repay the loan money borrowed. Learn more about this…

4. Accept Your KCU Financial Aid Offer
Once you have completed and submitted your FAFSA, KCU’s financial aid office will send you a Financial Aid Offer, which will detail each of the federal, state, and institutional grants, loans, and scholarships that are offered to you. The Financial Aid Offer will then be used to determine your final costs.
5. Submit Housing Form
The housing form is used to help us identify a roommate that matches you well or make sure you get placed with a previously identified roommate. It also allows us the opportunity to get to know you a little better before you move in. Please download the housing form below and return it to the admissions department.

7. Schedule a New Student Registration Date
Before you move into your dorm at the start of the semester, each student must attend a New Student Registration event. These events are scheduled on various dates during the summer, prior to the beginning of each semester (during the winter for Spring semesters). You will be able to sign up online for these events several months before the actual events. Contact your enrollment counselor for additional information regarding New Student Registration.
