Congratulations on your recent acceptance to Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences! To become eligible to register for courses, you must plan to complete the following actions promptly:
Please submit the non-refundable $250 deposit to secure your seat in the program by the deadline indicated. Your deposit is used to open your student account and is credited to your tuition when you register for your first course. Failure to submit the seat deposit by the deadline will result in the cancellation of your acceptance offer. If you wish to be reconsidered, you will need to reapply.
You may pay your seat deposit through your DMU Admissions Account.
A copy of your Outstanding Requirements form is emailed to you following your acceptance. Please read and return a signed copy to the admission office by the deadline indicated. If we have listed requirements for your admission, please be certain you have a plan for meeting these requirements by the deadline as your enrollment is contingent upon them.

Prior to registration for the term to which you have been admitted, your accounts will be activated and login instructions will be emailed to you regarding your DMU email account and the Pulse and D2L systems.
Pulse is the university's intranet system which provides much of the necessary information for your success as a DMU student, including program announcements, policy information and the student handbook. D2L is the learning management system used for all courses.
All incoming students are required to complete a criminal background check, which may include a drug screen, prior to matriculation through the DMU approved vendor. Results must be released to DMU prior to matriculation, and the cost of this process will be paid by the student. Students are required to disclose all past or present charges, convictions, dismissals, deferred judgments and expunged records as related to a misdemeanor or felony. They are also obligated to disclose any additional charges and convictions which occur following completion of the initial criminal background check. Admission to the program may be revoked if misrepresentations or omissions from the application are noted in the background check or if new charges or convictions are identified or reported during the pre-matriculation period. DMU students are required to complete annual criminal background checks, which may include drug screening, while enrolled at DMU.
Please visit Certiphi Screening to create an account to begin your background check 60 days prior to the start of your term.
