Daystar University is a private Christian university in Kenya. Its main campus is at Athi River, Machakos County, and it also operates a Nairobi campus. An earlier version of this article confusingly placed the main campus close to central Nairobi; that description has been corrected.

Admissions and how to apply
- Select the intended programme from the current official admissions or programme website.
- Review the entry requirements, application closing date, tuition and relevant location.
- Use the institution’s stated admissions process; where placement is centrally managed, follow that approved route.
- Submit the requested documents and make any payments only via the official payment instructions.
- After acceptance, check the published joining and registration instructions.
Programme-specific guidance
Daystar University runs programmes at different levels and locations. Applicants should read the latest intake announcement and follow the application method specified there rather than relying on an old 2015–2016 fee schedule or archived PDF. Scholarships and financial support have separate eligibility requirements. Campus choice, tuition, accommodation, reporting dates and learning mode depend on the programme.
Fees, scholarships, accommodation and student services
Fees, financial aid and accommodation availability depend on programme, academic year and student category. The latest published institutional schedule or offer letter takes precedence over historical figures. Use official student services for portal access or accommodation queries.
Location and contacts
Check official university notices for the Athi River and Nairobi campus addresses, registrar or admissions contacts, and student login instructions.
Editorial review: 27 October 2026. This article replaces outdated course claims and intake information from 2016. Confirm all deadlines, fees and programmes with the institution before applying or paying.
