The page lists a USD 100-per-year fee for non-East Africans and gratis treatment for East African Community member states. It also asks for proof of funds for self-sponsored students, but does not state tuition, insurance, full-time-study or attendance requirements.

The official page does not itself state student work rights, but Kenya's Dependant Pass regulation lists only Kenya Citizens, work/residence-permit holders, exempted persons and permanent residents as qualifying sponsors -- Student Pass holders are not among them.

Issued to persons who are Dependants of: Kenya Citizens Permit holders Exempted persons Permanent residents
The pass can be renewed: renewal applications also need Form 30 completed, signed and stamped by the educational institution's authorised personnel, and a copy of the Student Pass previously held. The official source does not state the normal validity period or any post-study work or residence possibilities.
