Mount Kenya University has posted a fresh 30th graduation list dated Monday 10 November 2026, telling potential graduands the processing is still going on and no eligible candidate will be left out.

The notice, from Registrar Dr Ronald G. Maathai, says inclusion on the list comes down to two things only: meeting the academic requirements and paying the graduation fee.

Tuesday 10 November was the financial clearance deadline for graduands who want their names in the graduation booklet and on the certificate list.

But the door is not shut for everyone who missed it. MKU says clearance stays open right up to the point of returning graduation gowns and collecting transcripts and certificates.

The ceremony itself is set for Friday 4 December 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at the Graduation Pavilion, Happy Valley Ground, along Garissa Road, under the theme "Inter-generational Dialogue for National Cohesion and Democracy."

Gown collection runs from 23 November to 2 December, and every graduand must attend the mandatory rehearsal on Thursday 3 December at 9:00 a.m.

MKU has also warned graduands about a fake notice doing the rounds. On 8 November the university flagged a falsified notice dated 23 October about special and supplementary examinations, stamped with a red "FAKE" mark.

Students have been sharing feedback through the university's Microsoft Form, and the comments make the anxiety plain: clearance portals showing "Pending" even after requirements are met, missing marks, and names still absent from the list.

MKU's reply in the comments has been the same line throughout: processing continues until every eligible graduand is included, and anyone with an issue should raise it through the official feedback form or their school coordinator.
