APPROVAL The University of Eldoret having been awarded its Charter on 11th February 2013 has set on a growth path guided by its vision of being "a Premier University that is globally visible in knowledge generation and technological innovation"

As part of laying its foundation, the University developed its Statutes in November 2013 followed by its first strategic plan which will be rolled out later this year, 2014. The process of recruiting its top managers was completed in March 2014. The University has now embarked on the process of developing its policies which will guide decisions of the different organs of the University in order to achieve rational outcomes geared towards the growth of the University. This Part-Time Teaching Policy is just one of the many policies that the University is rolling out.

My special thanks go to all those who put in their time, effort and skills to develop this Policy.

By virtue of the authority vested in me as the Chairman of Council of the University of Eldoret and in reference to the approval granted by Council in its meeting of.................., I hereby sign this Part-Time Teaching Policy this......13...th....day of......Ju...ne.......2014.
