If you have not yet registered, you must first create an account on citiprogram.org.

When registering, select 'Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences' from the list of participating institutions.

As part of your new user registration, you can select courses at this time.

If you already have an account:

Go to citiprogram.org and log in to your account. If you have forgotten your username or password, contact the Research Compliance Office at 816-654-7602.
