The College was established under Legal Order No.125 of 13th August 2010. The growth and development of Chepkoilel University College is guided by government and institutional policies and plans. The University College is located in Eldoret, 330 km Northwest of Nairobi and 9km from Eldoret town along the Eldoret-Ziwa Road. The University College started as a Campus of Moi University in 1990, to deal with increased student numbers following a double intake that was occasioned by the change of Kenya's secondary education system from 7-6-3 to 8-4-4. Having inspected the Chepkoilel University College, examined its instruments of governance, its academic programmes, physical, human, library and financial resources, the Commission recommended that the University College be upgraded to a fully-fledged university to become the University of Eldoret. The new University was expected to implement recommendations contained in this Accreditation Report in order to enhance the quality of teaching it offers to its students and play a greater role in the development of this country.

The Kenya Polytechnic was officially opened on 29th May 1961. An important characteristic of the Polytechnic was that it would in particular offer opportunities to those who were already employed in industry to improve their skills. While the institution would admit some students directly from school, the majority of the students would be those who would be sponsored by employers from industry and would thus be receiving training that was already tailored to the interests and requirements of industry. On 23rd August 2007 the President of the Republic of Kenya signed the Kenya Polytechnic University College Legal Order thereby formally establishing the Kenya Polytechnic University College as a constituent college of the University of Nairobi. Although the College was established with effect from August 2007, it did not begin to function as a University College until November 2008 when the principal for the University College was appointed. The University College has drafted a Charter that outlines the governance organs upon upgrading. The draft was examined by the Commission and found satisfactory. The Commission for Higher Education inspected Kenya Polytechnic in March 2012 and evaluated its governance structures and academic resources including land, physical facilities, library and financial resources. Having inspected the Kenya Polytechnic University College, examined its governance structures, its curriculum and academic resources, the Commission recommends that the University College be upgraded and awarded a Charter to become the Technical University of Kenya.
