Daystar University Admission List 2025/2026 KUCCPS Intake | Check Here

The “admission list” for Daystar University basically means the list of applicants who have been offered admission (i.e., successfully shortlisted) for a given intake — undergraduate, diploma, postgraduate, etc. For example:

• For the 2024 intake via the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS), many names were released for Daystar.
• The university’s portal allows students to download admission letters once they are offered admission.

Therefore, being “on the admission list” means you (or your application number/name) appear among those admitted for a given session.

How to check if you’re on the list

Here are the steps you’d typically follow:

For KUCCPS-placed students

• After the KUCCPS placement/offer, you go to the Daystar University portal (or the Daystar KUCCPS login page) using your KCSE index number, etc (https://www.daystar.ac.ke/).
• Download your admission letter when available.

For other applicants (private/self-sponsored, international, etc.)

• Use the university’s online application portal: you fill out the form, submit the required documents & fee.
• Once admitted, you’ll get a notification and an admission letter. The FAQ says: “How do we receive admission letters?” — they say you’ll be called, scanned/emailed, etc.

Admission letter download & verification

• The letter includes your programme, campus, and intake (e.g., Jan, May, August).
• You must verify academic certificates when you report.

What you should do after you make the list (or if you’re still waiting)

If you are on the admission list:

• Download and print your admission letter. It’s your official proof.
• Prepare your original academic documents (secondary certificates, transcripts, etc), ID/birth certificate/passport, and photos — these will be required when reporting. E.g., for orientation, they require originals + copies + passport-size photos.
• Pay any required fees (orientation fees, tuition deposits if applicable) and register/attend orientation. The orientation for the May 2025 intake, for example, was mandatory.
• Report on the date specified in the letter/intake schedule, so you don’t lose your place. The letter often states that if you don’t register by a certain time, you may have to reapply.

If you are not yet on the list or waiting:

• Keep checking the portal for updates. Sometimes there are multiple intakes (Jan, May, Aug) for Daystar.
• Ensure you meet all requirements: academic (e.g., KCSE grades, or relevant certificates) and non-academic (ID, photos, application fee) as set out by Daystar.
• Consider alternative intakes or programmes if your first choice isn’t available.
• Contact the Admissions & Records department if you believe there is an issue. Contact info: Daystar University, P.O. Box 44400-00100, Nairobi, Kenya.

Key details & tips specific to Daystar University

• Daystar University is a Christian-centred, private institution in Kenya with its main campus around Athi River (and parts of Nairobi).
• There are multiple intake periods: For instance, applications for ones cited as Jan intake have deadlines of 30th November; May intake 30th April; August intake 31st July.
• The university emphasises original certificate verification at registration/orientation. For example, for the May 2025 intake, they required originals + copies for verification on arrival.
• Admission letters often state that if you don’t report and register within that academic year, your offer is invalid and you’ll need to apply afresh.
• For international applicants or those with foreign credentials, there may be additional requirements (for example, certificate equivalence) — check the relevant admissions guidelines.
• Make sure to regularly check Daystar’s website, portals or social media for announcements about admission lists, deadlines, etc.

Common issues & how to handle them

• Missed deadlines: If you don’t report by the date on the admission letter/orientation, your place might be forfeited. So act fast when you know you’re admitted
• Document mismatch or missing originals: If you show up without originals (or equivalent documents for foreign students), you may be delayed or not registered — always bring what’s requested.
• Wrong programme or campus offered: If you feel you were offered the wrong programme, contact admissions promptly to clarify.
• Fees and finances: Even after admission, you’ll need to budget for fees, orientation, transport/accommodation (especially if you come from outside Nairobi/Athi River).
• Orientation and matriculation: These are mandatory in many cases (Daystar emphasises orientation week). Missing key orientation can affect your registration.
• Verification and authenticity concerns: Make sure your application details were accurate. Daystar states that any student found to have given false information may be dismissed.
