Visiting Medical Students-Criminal Background Check

If you have not completed a criminal background check at your home institution, you must complete a background check online with KUMC before submitting your application. The cost of the non-refundable background check is $33.50 (plus applicable service charges) and can be paid online. Passage of the background check does not guarentee you a spot in a clinical elective.

To complete the background check:

• Go to http://www.validityacademics.com
• The username is "ku3967" and the password is "background"
• Follow the instructions to complete the criminal background check application.

The results of the criminal background check will be sent to the KUMC Office of the Registrar and you can elect to receive a copy when you are completing the application.
