Egerton University Admission Day: What First Years Should Know

Admission Day at Egerton University is both exciting and overwhelming for many first years. Here’s what to expect and how to prepare for a smoother experience.
Where is Admission Done?
All admissions are done at your respective faculty — not at a central location. This means you must locate your faculty early to avoid delays.
Common Issues to Watch Out For
- 📑 Not having photocopies of required documents
- 🕒 Long queues — arrive early
- 🧭 Getting lost due to unfamiliarity with the campus
- 💸 Price hikes from nearby printing businesses
Recommendation: Have all documents in 4 copies, prepare them at home, and upload all materials online beforehand to avoid last-minute pressure.
Final Step of Admission
When your uploaded documents are approved and you can access the student portal — your admission is complete.
Hostel Allocation
After admission, you’ll be guided to your paid hostel of choice. Ensure hostel fees are paid early to secure your space.
Orientation Week
You’ll meet faculty leaders, class reps, and be introduced to student governance. First years will also elect their representatives.
