Important notes

  • Only applicants who submit an application are considered for the programmes they select.
  • Meeting the minimum grade does not guarantee placement into a particular programme. Follow the programme-specific requirements and current placement criteria.
  • KUCCPS application dates and rules can change between cycles. Never share your password or one-time code with an unofficial agent.
