KMTC graduands: miss the November 13 deadline and you may miss graduation.

KMTC has published the full schedule for its 95th graduation. Some of these deadlines are days away, so read this carefully.

The ceremony:
✓ Thursday, December 3, 2026, 8:00 AM
✓ Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, Nairobi
✓ Mandatory rehearsal on Wednesday, December 2

Deadlines to hit:

• By 12 noon, Thursday, November 12: submit name correction requests. Check that your name is spelt correctly and in the right order, and that it matches the college ERP system, your admission letter and your national ID
• By November 13: pay your graduation fee through the Jiunge platform. Cash is not accepted, and KMTC warns that unpaid graduands risk missing the ceremony
• November 16 to 27: collect your gown. Bring proof of college fee clearance, your campus clearance form, your graduation fee receipt and your original ID
• By 4:00 PM, Wednesday, December 16: return your gown. Late returns attract a Ksh100 daily penalty
• December 7 to 16, 9 AM to 4 PM on weekdays: collect your certificate at KMTC headquarters in Nairobi, if you have cleared with the college

What not to do:
✗ Don’t try to add new names to the provisional list. You can only correct the spelling or order of names already there
✗ Don’t wait until after the deadline to fix your name. Late corrections attract a Ksh5,000 fine

It’s GOOD if:
✓ You check the provisional list on the KMTC website this weekend
✓ You get your clearance forms signed early

It’s BAD if:
✗ You assume the college will fix a misspelled name for you
✗ You leave your fee payment to the last day

Graduation day is the easy part. The paperwork before it is where people get caught, and every deadline above has a cost if you miss it.
