University Life

We wish to take this opportunity to welcome all the students to Alupe University College
We also extend this welcome to all the academic and administrative staff who have joined us in the Alupe University College fraternity
We also wish to thank all those who have worked tirelessly to prepare for this occasion

Event and Traditions

All of us gathered here are pioneers of Alupe University College (students and staff), Pioneer status has a number of related issues

Getting the best treatment – pampered lot
Improvising and thinking out of the box
Hardened by challenges
Being the first
Being experimented on
Challenges of start up
Good experiences – small numbers
Bad experiences –limited resources
Fear of the unknown – what will happen

Pioneers always overcome any challenges because of the knowledge that if you must succeed at all costs through

Team work
Personal devotion
Being selfless, committed
What can I offer to the institution rather than what is there for me
The drive to survive

Health care

Health care of students on campus is solely the responsibility of the student and the parents
We encourage all of you to register with NHIF – a monthly contribution of 500/- and you choose a health facility of your choice in Busia County for outpatient but open for inpatient care when registered
The Kshs. 1500 fee levied to students is for first aid and emergency assistance as your families are mobilizing themselves to assist you
Inform the Dean of students and your family as soon as you begin to feel unwell.

Security

Your security is our concern and so secure yourself first as a precaution

The area around campus is relatively safe
Do not get into bad company with persons that are security risks
Do not bring unknown persons to campus especially the hostels
Inform our security, police, Dean of students and other students of suspicious persons
Walk in groups in the evening and night to and from the campus and hostels

Transportations

There are many options to travel in the campus.

Transport to town is still scarce but we are working with the local business community to start a commuter service
The University Vans will be used for any formal trips for students for academic functions
The University vans will be used for organised and timetabled student activities
We plan to purchase a University bus

Amenities

Water – there is a general water problem of piped water in the County – we are working with the Busia water company to ensure some consistency in water supply
Power outages are common in the area. We are getting a generator for the library and facilities close to it (catering, hostel, classrooms)
Shopping facilities – these are by the roadside of the Malaba- Busia Road in Alupe and Angorom shopping centres and in Busia town

Dining On Campus

Cooking in the rooms is not permitted and is punishable by expulsion from the hostel, Catering services are available on a pay as you eat basis, Be careful where and what you eat to avoid contacting diseases like cholera, diarrhea, typhoid fever, dysentery etc.
