Important Cyber Safety Tips for First Years
As you join these online campus communities, it is vital to practice digital awareness and cyber hygiene. Unfortunately, scammers often target unsuspecting first-year students during the admission season. Keep these golden rules in mind:
- Never Send Money to Unverified Individuals: No university official will ever ask you to send money via mobile money to secure a hostel room, fast-track an admission letter, or process HELB loans. Always pay school fees through official university bank accounts or government paybills.
- Protect Your Personal Data: Do not share sensitive documents like your KCSE index number, national ID, or passwords in public group chats.
- Verify Information: Always cross-check any critical announcement shared on WhatsApp with your university’s official portal or social media pages.
Empower Your Campus Journey with Digital Skills
Your time on campus is not just about earning a degree; it is the perfect window to build modern tech and digital skills that will make you financially independent before you even graduate. Whether you want to learn web development, graphic design, photography, or AI tools, surrounding yourself with the right digital ecosystem will set you apart from the crowd.
We wish all the 2026/2027 Comrades the absolute best as you begin this exciting academic journey! Work hard, build meaningful networks, and make every semester count.
Stay Ahead.
