The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has officially opened its portal for the inter-institutional transfer.
KUCCPS said the move seeks to ensure students continue aligning their career selections after placement.
“The transfer process is intended for students who wish to change their universities or colleges after placement. Student can change or retain their courses during the transfers,” the Placement Service said.
Only students placed this year and wish to transfer to other institutions are eligible.
Applications will be done online through the KUCCPS student’s portal from July 14 to August 12, 2025.
How to apply for KUCCPS inter-institutional transfer
Inter-Institutional Transfer Process involves the following steps:
- A student initiates the process online through the Student’s Portal (students.kuccps.net) and it goes to the receiving institution.
- The receiving institution endorses the application online through their institution’s portal and accepts the student.
- The releasing institution receives a notification and releases the student online through the institution’s portal.
- The endorsed application reverts to KUCCPS for approval and a transfer letter is generated.
- The student downloads the approved transfer letter from the Student’s Portal and presents it to the receiving institution for issuance of admission letter and joining instructions.
“For transfer applications to go through, the receiving institution must accept the applicants; and the applicant must meet the cut-off points for the programmes of their choice in the desired institution,” KUCCPS noted.
A detailed application procedure is available on the KUCCPS portal.
