How to apply and download admission letters
- Choose your programme from the official course catalogue and check its minimum KCSE grades and any cluster-subject requirements.
- Determine whether you are applying through KUCCPS placement or an applicable university admissions route.
- For placed students, open the university’s online admission portal and enter the KCSE index number and examination year in the format shown on that page.
- Download your admission information and required joining documents, and complete online self-registration where instructed.
- Use the university’s published registration and fee-payment instructions; keep receipts and submit supporting documents only through official channels.
The online admission portal specifically asks for the KCSE index number followed by a slash and the examination year. It warns not to enter a university registration number in that field.
Student services, fees and accommodation
Tuition and other charges depend on the programme and government or self-sponsored funding category. The online programme catalogue contains some fee placeholders, so a figure shown as ‘will be updated soon’ should not be treated as a confirmed charge. Check your admission letter, approved fee schedule and student services for the applicable costs, accommodation and timetable.
