Why We Have Policies
As a college regulated by the Ministry of Education in Kenya, it is necessary to have guidelines that help us ensure the smooth running of the Institute as well as foster healthy relationships between our students and the Institute staff. These policies also ensure cohesion between and among the students themselves.
