KUCCPS shall open the portal on June 15, 2020, and close it on August 15, 2020 which is the official deadline for the KUCCPS 2020/2021inter-university transfer applications.

 

LEGIBILITY/ REQUIREMENTS

It is important to note that not all KCSE 2019 candidates are legible to apply for inter-university transfers for the academic year 2020/ 2021.

Only students who applied for and were placed successfully by the placement service will be allowed to apply for the same.

The applicant must have received his or her KUCCPS results that were released a few weeks ago since that is a major starting point.

ONLINE INTER-UNIVERSITY TRANSFER; 2020

Unlike other times when the applicants applying for KUCCPS inter-university transfers were obliged to physically visit the releasing and receiving institutions physically for approval, this year’s inter-university process is cost-friendly and convenient for the majority of the applicants since it will be done online.

 

HERE ARE THE MAIN STEPS INVOLVED IN THE KUCCPS INTER-UNIVERSITY/ INSTITUTION TRANSFER PROCESS

Step 1: The dissatisfied applicant tenders his or her request to initiate the KUCCPS online inter-university transfer process once the placement service opens its portal by filling a form available at the KUCCPS portal.

Step 2: The applicant’s inter-university transfer form is submitted to the receiving institution for processing.

Step 3: The applicant’s request is processed and if they qualify for the inter-university transfer, the receiving institution shall endorse the application then forward it to the releasing institution for further processing.

Step 4: The receiving institution receives the application and clears the applicant through the institutions’ portal before submitting it to the KUCCPS CEO for approval.

Step 5: The CEO KUCCPS receives the endorsed/approved inter-university application, approves it for a transfer letter to be generated.

Step 6: The applicant can now access the approved inter-university transfer letter for presentation to the receiving institution.
