The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has issued guidance on how applicants can retrieve their payment reference numbers after making application payments, addressing recent user issues.

• Applicants can find their Payment Ref., which is the account number used during payment, in their M-Pesa confirmation messages.
• The KUCCPS is assisting candidates who reported issues with payment reflection on the application portal.
• This clarification comes as the application deadline for degree programmes and TVET applications approaches on May 6, 2026.
