Kisii University has extended the deadline for payment of outstanding fees—including graduation fees—to November 25, 2025, giving prospective graduands additional time to finalize their financial obligations ahead of the 2025 graduation ceremony.
According to a memo from the Office of the Registrar, Academic Affairs dated November 21, 2025, the extension is meant to ensure that all students who have not cleared their balances are granted a final opportunity to appear on both the academic and financially approved lists.
However, even as the university works to finalize the official graduation roll, concerns have surfaced over alleged irregularities in the updated list, particularly within the School of Clinical Medicine.
Several qualified Clinical Medicine students, many of whom had reportedly met all academic requirements, were unexpectedly excluded from last week’s provisional list.
The omissions have triggered widespread frustration and suspicion among students, parents, and stakeholders.
Sources within the school allege that the exclusions may be linked to a divide-and-rule scheme reportedly perpetuated by an individual, who is accused of selectively approving some students while “punishing” others without any clear academic justification.
The students claim that the individual “cherry picked” individuals to be included in the list, sidelining dozens who had already fulfilled all graduation prerequisites.
“This is completely unacceptable, and it’s sad that this dude is winning,” one affected student lamented, expressing fears that the arbitrary decisions could derail careers and futures.

The concerns now cast a heavy shadow on the institution’s integrity, with calls mounting for urgent intervention.
The students are appealing to Vice Chancellor Prof. Nathan Ongechi to launch an immediate investigation into the matter to determine why deserving students were dropped at a crucial stage of the graduation process.
Education experts warn that if the issue is not resolved promptly, the excluded Clinical Medicine students could face grave consequences—including waiting up to two years before they can begin their mandatory internship.
This delay could severely impact their professional progression and discourage future applicants from pursuing Clinical Medicine at the institution.
Students and parents are urging the university leadership to act swiftly to restore fairness, transparency, and confidence in the graduation process.
Kisii University has yet to issue an official statement addressing the allegations.
