Student Services

NOTE: Due to average lower air fare and decreased interest in the St. Louis Airport, we will only provide transportation from the Kansas City Airport (MCI) on the Saturday beginning and ending each session. A $75.00 round-trip ($35.00 one-way) shuttle fee will be charged for transportation to and from the airport at Kansas City. Because of the long commute between the airport and Kirksville, all flights must arrive and depart between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Transportation will not be provided for flights arriving or departing at other times.
