Other Costs to Consider (Beyond Tuition)
While the school fees schedule gives the core academic charges, students — especially freshers — should also plan for other costs:
- Acceptance / Registration Fee
- Newly admitted students are usually required to pay a non-refundable registration or acceptance fee soon after admission is offered.
- For example, in a recent admission notice, UNIUYO specified a ₦30,000 non-refundable registration fee for admitted candidates, paid via the official eportals system. (uniuyo.edu.ng)
- Accommodation / Hostel Fees
- Hostel charges are not included in the academic school fees.
- Students who want university accommodation will pay a separate hostel fee, which depends on the type of hostel and availability.
- Departmental & Faculty Dues
- Small compulsory dues may be paid to departments, faculties and student associations.
- Books, Materials & Transport
- Textbooks, handouts, practical materials, internet data and transport (especially for off-campus students) should be factored into your yearly budget.
How to Pay UNIUYO School Fees Safely
All payments should be done using the official UNIUYO online platforms, such as the iStudent Portal or ePortals, which support fee payment, registration and other academic activities. (students.uniuyo.edu.ng)
Basic steps usually include:
- Visit the UNIUYO student portal or ePortals site.
- Log in with your matric number / registration number and password.
- Navigate to the “Pay Fees” or “School Fees” section.
- Select the correct session, level and programme.
- Generate your RRR or payment reference and pay via approved channels (online banking, card, etc.).
- Print and keep your payment receipt – you’ll need it for clearance and exams.
⚠️ Important: Avoid paying through unverified agents or third-party accounts. Always confirm that your payment page is on a valid UNIUYO domain.
Smart Financial Tips for UNIUYO Students
To avoid stress and last-minute rush:
- Start planning early: As soon as fees are announced, draft a budget and discuss with sponsors or parents.
- Watch deadlines: The university and the students’ union occasionally announce portal closure dates for fee payment; missing these can attract penalties or cause registration issues.
- Explore legitimate support options: Scholarships, bursaries and part-time work (where allowed) can help with finances.
- Keep records: Always save your receipts, emails and SMS confirmations.
