Taita Taveta University Admission Letter 2025-2026 PDF Download

The Taita Taveta University (TTU) admission letter is an official document issued to students who have been offered a place to study at the university. It serves as proof of admission and provides all the essential details a new student needs to complete the enrollment process.

TTU’s formal document verifying a tentative offer of admission into a particular program is called an admission letter (also known as an offer letter).

It details the offered program, the mode of study, any terms associated with the offer, how to report or register, the cost, and the paperwork you need to bring with you. The main document you’ll need for registration, housing, and occasionally sponsor or scholarship verification is this letter.

Purpose of the Taita Taveta University Admission Letter

An admission (or acceptance) letter from TTU is the official document that:

• Confirms you have been offered a place in the programme you applied for

• Specifies the details of the admission (programme, study mode, fees, duration, conditions)

• Instructs you on the next steps (registration, reporting, accommodation)

• States any conditions (e.g., verification of certificates, meeting other requirements)

The letter thus serves both as proof of admission and as a roadmap for compliance and enrollment.

Who receives an admission letter?

• Government (KUCCPS-placed) students: Those placed via the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) after KCSE results and choice submissions

• Self-sponsored (private fee-paying) students: Applicants who apply directly to TTU (not via KUCCPS) and meet admission criteria

• Postgraduate students: Applicants to master’s or doctoral programmes who satisfy entry requirements

• Diploma, certificate, or continuing education students: As per the relevant faculty/department

Both “sponsored” and “self-sponsored” students should receive an admission letter, though via possibly different portals or procedures.

   • For self-sponsored: application reference number and password

4. Navigate to the “Admission Letter” section

   • There should be a tab or menu item for “Admission Letter,” “Download Offer Letter,” or similar.

   • Once you see your admission details, download a PDF version, and print at least one hard copy

   • If multiple copies are needed (for departments, halls, bank, etc.), make extra prints
