Abstract	any middle level colleges are converting into constituent colleges and some constituent colleges are converting into public Universities as evidenced on increased registration. There has also been an escalation of private colleges seeking to offer education and training to a population that is increasingly seeking this service. This in turn has led to structural and human resource challenges that learning institutions are trying to cope with. The study aims at examining the effect of change on performance of learning institutions and its impact on key result areas that affect performance. The sample comprised of the 265 staff composed of 55 lecturing and 210 non lecturing staff. From this sample 74 respondents representing more than 10% of the population provided necessary data for the research. Descriptive research design was used where a self administered structured questionnaire was issued to respondents. From the findings it was evident that change is necessary for survival of any organization since it improves overall performance (74.3%). The results indicate that a change policy is necessary for organizations and if implemented its embraced by majority hence need to seek out better ways of performing tasks. Organizations ought to effectively plan and communicate change and consistently evaluate its impact since it arises more from external factors (74.3%) which are largely uncontrollable. Change is inevitable and the only constant and for learning institutions that are resisting change, then change will change them.
