How To Change KUCCPS Course In 2023

KUCCPSKenya University & Colleges Central Placement Service commonly referred to as KUCCPS is a Kenyan establishment tasked with the selection of students to institutions of higher learning.

Depending on the cluster points that one attains after completion of KCSE, KUCCPS therefore assigns a programme relevant to such qualifications.

However, there are those that may not prefer the allocated programmes and would thus wish to transfer to a preferred programme of their choice.

In this scenario, KUCCPS allows the changing of courses or institutions online. However, this can only happen upon qualification as far as the clusters are concerned, since clusters vary even for similar courses.

Below is the procedure of how to change a course in KUCCPS.

  • Go to the KUCCPS student portal
  • Click on ‘Login’
  • Input your KCSE index number
  • Input your KCSE year
  • Input password which can either be KCPE index number or birth certificate number.
  • Click ‘Login’ to access your dashboard.

On the dashboard, there will be a statistical display of programmes for pursuants of degrees, diplomas, certificates and artisans as well as institutions such as universities and colleges.
