After selecting, attach a document that supports your reason for transfer. For continuing students who want to transfer. You must attach your transcripts.
Then fill in the reason for the Transfer Application in not less than 300 characters and note more than 300 characters.

Then click submit. Enter your index number if asked to do so and click submit again.
- STEP 6: ENDORSEMENT BY RECEIVING Institution
The institution which you applied to transfer to (receiving institution) will receive your transfer and endorse or reject it.
The major factor that will be considered by the receiving institution on whether to approve or reject your application is spaces available in the course you want to join.
- Step 7: Endorsement By Releasing Institution
Once your transfer has been approved by the receiving institution, the releasing institution will then endorse your transfer.
- Step 8: Review By KUCCPS
After being endorsed by both the receiving and the releasing institution, KUCCPS will be notified that the applicant has been accepted to join the institution that he applied to transfer to and he has been released from the institution that he was initially placed.
KUCCPS will then review your application for approval
- Step 9: Transfer Letter
Once your application has been reviewed by KUCCPS and approved then the next and last step is downloading the transfer letter and presenting it during admission or reporting.
UPDATE : Transfer Forms can now be filled online. You don’t have to present them to the university of transfer physically.
NOTE 1: You will be required to pay ksh. 1,000 for inter institution transfer. Only proceed if you fully understand the transfer application instructions.
NOTE 3: Only KCSE 2022 candidates are eligible for transfer.
NOTE 4: Change of course within the same University should be done after reporting at your University, not through KUCCPS portal.
Endorsement and approval of application Timelines
The number of days it takes for the receiving institution to endorse your application varies depending on how faster the receiving institution’s registrar of academics is. It can take a day, a week, two weeks, or even a month.
It takes about 14 working days for KUCCPS to review and approve your transfer after it has been endorsed by both the releasing and receiving institution.

Why do kuccps place us on what we never applied??
Kenyayote Support says
Applicants who were unable to get the courses of their choice in the institutions they preferred were placed in similar courses in alternative institutions and in programmes that did not attract at least a reasonable percentage of students. The choice was between not placing you at all or placing you at the alternative available programme.
