To Change Course or Institution on KUCCPS
- The first step is to Log in to the Student’s Portal. Once there you will click on the “Transfer Application” tab on the dashboard.
- At the top you will see your initial placement. At the bottom there is a single field to enter the code of the institution and programme that you wish to transfer to. This is the course you desire to move too
- You will then be required to select the reason for which you are seeking the transfer.
- The process is not free. At this step you are required to make payment of KES 1,000 following the provided payment instructions.
- Once you’re done, submit your transfer application using the provided eCitizen Payment Reference Code.
The process is now done. What remains is to keep track of your transfer request via the Student’s Portal. Both successful and unsuccessful applications will be communicated there
In the event the request for transfer has been approved by both institutions and finally KUCCPS, download and print the transfer letter and submit one copy to the institution you are transferring to so that they can issue the admission letter and other joining instructions.
