KCA University eLearning Portal 2026 – How to Access
This article contains information on how to gain access to the KCA University, KCAU eLearning Portal, also known as the E-Learning Management System (LMS), for the 2026 academic year.
Update: KCA University Virtual Campus (VCampus) and How to Login >>>
KCA University seeks to improve learning processes for its students. The university has adopted a Virtual Campus platform (VCampus), built on Moodle, which makes it easy for students to attend classes online, access lecture notes, and submit assignments from anywhere at any time.
Important — Official Portal URLs for 2026:
- Primary Portal: https://virtualcampus.kcau.ac.ke/
- Alternative Portal (LMS2): https://lms2.kcau.ac.ke/
- Alternative Portal (LMS-B): https://lmsb.kcau.ac.ke/
If one portal is unavailable, use one of the alternatives above. All three portals provide access to the same Moodle-based learning environment. Please note that the old portal at moodle.kca.ac.ke is a legacy system and is no longer the active platform for 2026 academic activities.
STEPS ON HOW TO ACCESS AND ENROL FOR THE KCAU E-LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The following is a guide on how to enrol in the LMS 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 official KCAU eLearning Portal: https://virtualcampus.kcau.ac.ke/
- Click “Login with Google” and enter your official university email address (ending in @kcau.ac.ke) and your university password as shared in your welcome email. Important: Before logging in for the first time, ensure your student email has been activated. Visit www.kcau.ac.ke and look for the “Students Email Activation” link to complete this step.
- Upon successful login, your personalized dashboard will load. Important: Always confirm your registered units in the Student Portal (Online Registration System) — all your units must be registered there first before they will appear under “My Courses” in the eLearning portal. If your courses are not showing, this is the most likely cause. Refer to the official video tutorial at https://lmsb.kcau.ac.ke/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=1737 for a step-by-step walkthrough.
- Click on any of your registered units under the My Courses menu to access their content. Materials include Course Outlines, Notes, Assignments, CATs, and more. Click on any material to access its contents. Important: Scroll through the course page on a weekly basis to ensure you do not miss any content or activity posted by your lecturer.
- For accessing and submitting assignments: Click on the CAT, Assignment One, or Assignment Two as shown on the course page. Important: Ensure your assignment is submitted before the deadline by monitoring the time remaining.
- Once you click “Add Submission,” your submission window will open.
- Click the Add icon, browse to where you have saved your document, and click “Upload this File.” Finally, click “Save Changes” and your assignment will be uploaded. A confirmation message will appear — take a screenshot of this for your records.
