Kenyatta University has dismissed claims circulating online that it has introduced a new registration fee tied to the submission of school reports for the 2025/26 academic year.
In a statement on Monday, February 2, the institution cautioned students against relying on unverified messages shared on social media platforms, particularly those that involve urgent deadlines or demands for payment.
“A forged internal memo claiming that school reports for Semester I, 2025/2026 must be submitted by 28th January 2026 with a Ksh10,000 registration fee is currently making rounds on WhatsApp and other platforms,” the statement read.
Kenyatta University insisted that the alleged memo is not authentic and that no such directive has been issued by the institution.
“This document is fake. Kenyatta University has not issued any such memo requiring students to pay Ksh10,000 or submit school reports by that date for the stated purpose,” the statement continued.
The university further outlined key clarifications to help students identify legitimate communications, emphasizing that there is no fee required for the submission of school or end-of-semester reports and that all official notices are shared only through recognized channels.
“Key facts to note, no such fee is required for submission of school/end-of-semester reports; official university communications come through verified channels (student email, KU student portal, official KU social media pages, or the KU website); and always verify urgent fee-related or deadline messages directly with your school/department or the Office of the Registrar (Academic),” the statement concluded.
