Garissa University College Admission List 2025/2026 KUCCPS Intake | Check Here

The admission list is the official record of applicants who have been offered provisional admission to Garissa University for a particular intake and academic year. It’s usually published online and/or made available via the KUCCPS placement dashboard for students placed through the government scheme. The admission list signals a provisional offer — final admission is confirmed at registration after document verification and fee acceptance.

How a student can appear on the list

Students may appear on Garissa University’s admission list through several routes:

• KUCCPS placement (government-sponsored): Applicants placed by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service will be shown their placement on the KUCCPS student portal and then receive the university’s admission letter/notification.
• Direct (self-sponsored) admission: Applicants who applied directly to Garissa University (self-sponsored or special entry) are admitted via the university’s admissions system and have their letters available on the university portal.
• Mature entry, transfers or special schemes: These are handled by the university’s admissions office and reflected in separate lists or portal announcements when relevant.

Where and how to check the admission list / download admission letters

Primary official places to check:

• Garissa University admissions portal / official website — the university publishes admission letters, instructions and announcements on its site (Admissions section). Use the Admission Letters link to download/print your letter (https://gau.ac.ke/).
• KUCCPS student portal — if you applied through KUCCPS, log into your KUCCPS dashboard to see placement details (institution, programme and code). KUCCPS is the authoritative source for government placements (https://kuccps.net/).

Immediate actions after seeing your name on the list

• Download & print the admission letter — keep both a digital and printed copy.
• Read all instructions carefully — note the registration date, required documents, fee amounts and payment methods.
• Accept the offer (if required) — some placements require you to accept online or fill out an acceptance form provided by the university.
• Prepare original documents for verification — KCSE certificate/result slip, national ID, birth certificate, academic transcripts (if applicable).
• Pay fees as instructed — follow the university’s payment channels and keep the transaction evidence.
• Report on the specified date — arrive for registration/orientation with required forms and payments.

Common Reasons Why Your Name May Not Appear (and What to Do)

• Pending KUCCPS Placement
  Your placement may still be in progress, as KUCCPS conducts placement and revision cycles in phases. Ensure that your application details are accurate and continue checking the KUCCPS portal regularly.
• Incorrect KCSE Index Number or Year Entered
  Placement results may fail to display if the index number or examination year is entered incorrectly. Confirm that you are using the correct format and re-enter your details carefully.
• Late Application, Waiting List or Full Programme Capacity
  In some cases, applications submitted after deadlines or programmes that have already reached full capacity may cause a delay or omission. Contact the university admissions office for clarification or explore the possibility of applying directly.
• Programme Requirements Not Met
  If the minimum mean grade or subject requirements for the selected programme were not achieved, your name may not appear. Consider reviewing alternative courses, related programmes, or bridging pathways where applicable.

Recommended Next Steps If Your Name Is Missing

• Revisit your KUCCPS portal dashboard and check your SMS or email for any placement notifications.
• Visit the Garissa University admissions office or official admissions webpage for further guidance.
• If you believe there may be an error, such as an incorrect index number used, contact the admissions office and provide supporting documents for verification.

Key Tips for Applicants

• Keep your KCSE index number and certificate handy: you will likely need it for login/application.
• Frequently check your email (including spam folder) and student portal once offered admission, since further instructions often come via email.
• Download and print your admission letter once it’s available. It’s an official document you may need for verification.
• Pay fees or make initial deposits only after you have the official admission letter and verified bank/pay‐bill details (to avoid fraud).
• Arrive for registration on time, with all required documents, to avoid losing your place.
  If you intend to apply for a bursary/loan (e.g., government scholarships), do so as soon as you are admitted.
• Follow the university’s instructions on accessing your student email account; many communications will use that channel. For example: “Your student Gmail account is … / your password is your KCSE index number.”
