KUCCPS opens inter-university transfers from 2023 KCSE

The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has opened the 2026 Inter-Institutional Transfer Application window, setting the deadline for August 14.

In a notice issued on Friday, July 17, the agency said the transfer period will run for 30 days, allowing students who were recently placed in universities, colleges or Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions to apply for a change.

The service advised students who wish to transfer from their current placement to take advantage of the available window and complete the process online. 

“Were you recently placed in a university or TVET programme and wish to move to a different institution? Take advantage of the current 30-day inter-institutional transfer application period,” the notice stated.

Eligible students have been directed to submit their requests through the KUCCPS student portal during the application period. 

To apply, students should log into the portal, select the transfer application option, choose their preferred institution and state the reason for the transfer.

The agency’s official notice puts an end to speculative reports that had been circulating online following the completion of the placement exercise last week.
