KCA Moodle 2026 | moodle.kca.ac.ke | How to Login/Register

This article contains information on how to gain access to the KCA University Virtual Campus (VCampus), also known as the KCA Moodle. This covers how to log in, registration guidelines, and resetting of passwords for the 2026 academic year.

KCA University seeks to improve learning processes for its students. The university has adopted a Virtual Campus platform (VCampus), built on Moodle, that makes it easy for students to attend classes online, access lecture notes, and submit assignments from anywhere at any time.

Please note: The primary portal for the KCA University eLearning platform is https://vcampus.kcau.ac.ke/. If this portal is unavailable, students can use the alternative portals at https://lms2.kcau.ac.ke/ or https://lmsb.kcau.ac.ke/. Students in the Centre for Open and Distance eLearning (CODE) programme may also refer to the dedicated portal at https://elearning.kcau.ac.ke/.

STEPS ON HOW TO ACCESS AND ENROL FOR THE KCA MOODLE

The following is a guide on how to log in and access the KCA University VCampus for 2026:

Open your internet browser. Recommended browsers are Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge. Ensure your browser is updated to the latest version.
Go to the main portal: https://vcampus.kcau.ac.ke/
New students must first complete their account setup. Download and follow the official Creation of Moodle Account Manual from the university’s downloads page at https://kcau.ac.ke/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/CREATION-OF-MOODLE-ACCOUNT-MANUAL-converted.pdf before proceeding.
On the login page, click the “Login with Google” button. You will be redirected to a Google sign-in page.
Enter your official KCA University email address (ending in @kcau.ac.ke) and your university password. Do not use a personal email address.
Once logged in, your personalized dashboard will load automatically. Your courses are synchronized directly with your official university registration — no separate manual enrollment in the system is required.
If the main portal is unavailable, try the alternative portals:
- https://lms2.kcau.ac.ke/
- https://lmsb.kcau.ac.ke/
Both alternative portals use the same “Login with Google” method.

HOW TO REGISTER FOR A UNIT ON THE KCA MOODLE

(Students MUST have the enrolment key provided by the lecturer)

Go to https://vcampus.kcau.ac.ke/ and log in using the “Login with Google” button with your official university email.
Once logged in, locate the course or unit you need to enroll in from your dashboard or by searching for the unit code.
On the course homepage, look for an “Enrol me” or similar link and click it.
You will be prompted to enter the enrolment key. Obtain this key from your lecturer or class representative. The key is case-sensitive — enter it exactly as provided, paying close attention to uppercase and lowercase letters.
After entering the key correctly, click “Enrol me” or “Submit” to finalize enrollment.
Once enrolled, you will be able to view the lecturer’s details, course content, assignments, CATS, quizzes, and assessments.

Please note: If the enrollment key is rejected, check for typos or contact your lecturer for the correct or updated key. Do not obtain enrollment keys from unofficial sources.
