Language Proficiency: Proficiency in the language of instruction (usually English) may be required, especially for international students. Applicants may need to provide proof of English language proficiency through standardized tests such as TOEFL or IELTS.
Technical Requirements: Since the ODEL program involves online learning, applicants may need to have access to a computer with internet connectivity and possess basic computer literacy skills.

What are the modes of payment for tuition fees?

 Bank Transfer: You can transfer the tuition fees directly from your bank account to the university's designated bank account. Details of the university's bank account, including account number and routing information, will be provided on the invoice or payment instructions. Please ensure to include your student ID or other identifying information in the transaction reference to facilitate timely processing.
 Mobile Money: If you prefer mobile payment options, you may be able to pay tuition fees using mobile money platforms such as M-Pesa, Airtel Money, or similar services. Simply initiate the payment transaction through your mobile wallet, following the prompts to enter the university's payment details or paybill number provided by the institution. Remember to retain the transaction confirmation for reference purposes.
 Installment Plans: For students facing financial constraints, Lukenya University may offer installment payment plans to spread out the tuition fees over multiple payments. Contact the university's finance office or student support services to inquire about available installment options and eligibility criteria.

Are there any face-to-face sessions required?

 Fully Online Programs: Many of our ODEL programs are entirely online, meaning that all learning activities, including lectures, discussions, assignments, and assessments, are conducted through our eLearning platform. These programs do not have any mandatory face-to-face sessions, allowing students to study from anywhere with internet access.
 Blended Learning Programs: Some programs may follow a blended learning approach, combining online learning with occasional face-to-face sessions or practical workshops. These sessions are typically scheduled at specific intervals or for certain components of the curriculum that require hands-on training or interaction. The frequency and duration of face-to-face sessions will vary depending on the program requirements.
 Course-specific Requirements: Certain courses within our ODEL programs may have unique requirements that necessitate face-to-face sessions, such as fieldwork, laboratory experiments, or clinical placements. In such cases, these sessions will be clearly communicated to students at the beginning of the course, and arrangements will be made to accommodate students' needs and schedules.
 Communication and Support: Regardless of whether face-to-face sessions are required, students will have access to various communication channels and support services to interact with instructors, tutors, and fellow classmates. Our aim is to provide a supportive learning environment that meets the needs of all students, whether they prefer online or face-to-face interactions.
