Fees, campuses and applicant safety
The public portal lists many programmes but does not guarantee that each course is available at every campus or has a vacant place. Get the current fee structure and official written payment instructions from admissions. Old PDF application forms and prices from 2016 should not be relied upon. Check the current campus address before visiting; the earlier directory listed Kanyali Building in Machakos town.
