How to apply for KUCCPS Inter-University Transfer

Application For KUCCPS 2021/2022 Inter-University Transfer

Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha has released results for 2022/23 Course application cycle. All the successful applicants have been informed of their courses through direct SMS and may also log in to the student's portal students.kuccps.net to view their placement status.

As usual, some applicants will not be satisfied with the results and will wish to transfer from the institution they have been placed to another institution of their choice. This process is called inter-institution transfer. The dissatisfaction is a result of the computerized selection process which is very competitive leading to some candidates being placed to courses not applied for after failing to meet entry points of the 7 optional courses on their list of selection that is done based on the question of choice and cluster. All those applicants who will wish to transfer to other institutions will be given a one-month window to explore alternative options.

NOTE : The KUCCPS portal is now open to receive inter-institutional transfer applications. The application will close on August 24, 2022.

Here is a detailed guide to help you ensure that you move to your university of choice.
