Kaimosi Friends University has cautioned students against the use of forged examination cards as it prepares to administer Semester II examinations for the 2025/2026 academic year.
In a memo dated March 31, 2026, the Office of the Registrar (Academic Affairs) said the examinations will run from April 2 to April 17, urging all candidates to ensure they have processed and obtained authentic examination cards.
The university warned that any student found using falsified examination documents will face strict disciplinary measures. These include cancellation of results in the affected course unit and suspension from the institution for up to three academic years.
The notice emphasized that examination integrity remains a key priority, cautioning that misconduct could significantly derail students’ academic progression.
Students were further directed to acquaint themselves with provisions of the Student Code of Conduct, particularly those relating to examination regulations, to avoid penalties associated with malpractice.

At the same time, the administration outlined alternative requirements for students yet to receive university identification cards. Such students will be required to present a national identity card or birth certificate, alongside an admission letter bearing a passport-size photograph, to be allowed into examination rooms.
The directive, signed by Senior Assistant Registrar (Academic Affairs) Dr. Jane Amunga, has been circulated through official university channels, including notice boards and digital platforms.
The development comes amid heightened scrutiny on academic integrity in higher learning institutions, with universities tightening measures to curb examination irregularities.
With the examination period fast approaching, students at KAFU now face increased pressure to comply with institutional regulations or risk severe academic consequences.
