KUCCPS Institutional Transfers Deadline Extended; How to Apply
The Kenya Universities and College Placement Service has extended the deadline for inter-institutional transfer applications.
The placement service extended the deadline from today (Tuesday) in a notice to compensate for a brief interruption in its Mpesa paybill payment option, which has since been restored.
“We are encountering difficulties with our M-Pesa payment option. We are endeavoring to restore payment services as soon as possible. We will provide an update once the problem has been resolved.” On August 13, KUCCPS said.
Students who desire to switch programs or institutions have until this Friday to do so.
Those wishing to apply for the transfers have been instructed to do so through the KUCCPS student portal; students.kucc.edu.net.
Applicants will be assessed Ksh 1,000 per application for application processing.
To be eligible for transfer, the applicant must have been accepted into the program from which they wish to transfer.
Additionally, the program must have been available during the year the applicant was assigned.
Transfer Process
In addition to meeting the applicable cutoffs, an applicant must qualify for the programs to which he or she wishes to transfer for a transfer application to be approved.
In addition, both the receiving and releasing institutions must endorse a transfer application online. Therefore, students will not be required to be present in the institutions
Applicants will be able to track the status of their applications through the portal, and once their applications have been approved, transfer letters will be made available for distribution on the portal.
