Accreditation report

Abstract

Chepkoilel University College was a constituent college of Moi University in Kenya. 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. A summary of the Commission's findings including an update of the current status is contained in this report.
