Abstract:	The article presents a case study on the ability of information system (IS) to alter student admission from environmental conditions and values to higher education in Kenya. It notes that the Joint Admission Board's (JAB) values has shifted from the filling up of university places to the ability which allows an individual student to select university and degree program. It reveals that IS offers formal documented information, which is significant to a consensus-driven decision-making process.
