South Eastern Kenya University (SEKU) has extended the First Semester 2026/2027 academic year registration deadline to Friday, 13 November 2026.

The extension is announced in an internal memo dated 2 November 2026 from the Office of the Academic Registrar, signed by Prof. Peter Njuru, PhD, and posted on the university's official Facebook page on 3 November.

The memo states that the student database will close after 13 November, with no further requests accepted, and that the deadline will be strictly adhered to.

Registration, as defined in the memo, means a student has activated their account in the student database, paid full fees, and registered course units online. Students who fail to register by the deadline are instructed to take a semester off, in line with university policy.

In a separate memo dated 23 October 2026, also from Prof. Njuru, the university told its students based at MUCO in Wote to return to the main campus, effective immediately and no later than 15 November 2026.

The University Council resolved on 21 October 2026 to recall the MUCO students to the main campus. The memo says the university will provide transport from Wote to the main campus, coordinated by the Dean of Students, and that the university hostels have 231 bed vacancies — 74 male and 157 female — available on a first-come basis through online booking, plus 27 privately owned rooms in Kyua. Details on teaching and timetables will be shared later.
