FUTA School Fees 2026/2027: Freshers, Returning Students and Additional Charges
FUTA school fees for returning students are reported at ₦73,000–₦83,000 for the 2026/2027 academic session, depending on the level. The reported schedule lists ₦281,000 for a category labelled “200L Fresh Student”, with separate charges for selected medical and health programmes.
Tuition is listed as free in the schedule, but students still pay registration, examination, laboratory, medical and other charges. These figures were reported in September and October 2026; the amount billed to your account on FUTA’s official portal should guide payment.
FUTA School Fees by Level
| Student category | Reported sessional charges |
|---|---|
| “200L Fresh Student” | ₦281,000 |
| Returning 200 Level | ₦83,000 |
| 300 Level | ₦82,000 |
| 400 Level | ₦73,000 |
| 500 Level | ₦82,000 |
These are the totals stated in the reported schedule. They should not be treated as an all-inclusive budget covering accommodation, acceptance and every programme-specific payment.
How Much Are FUTA School Fees for Freshers?
The reported fresh-student figure is ₦281,000, but its column is labelled “200L Fresh Student.” A separate entrepreneurship entry is labelled “100L only,” creating an inconsistency in the reproduced schedule.
For that reason, the ₦281,000 figure cannot confidently be described as the confirmed amount for every newly admitted 100 Level student. Freshers should check the category and charges assigned to them on the university portal.
The fresh-student column includes several entry-related payments:
| Selected charge | Reported amount |
|---|---|
| Refundable caution fee | ₦20,000 |
| Medical examination | ₦20,000 |
| Endowment fund | ₦20,000 |
| Orientation, matriculation and documentation | ₦30,000 |
| ICT development | ₦20,000 |
| Development levy | ₦20,000 |
| Campus security | ₦15,000 |
| Accreditation fee | ₦20,000 |
These items are components of the reported fresh-student charges, not amounts to add again to the ₦281,000 total.
Returning-Student Fees: What Changes by Level?
The reported returning-student charges include online registration, laboratory or workshop services, examinations, medical services, library access and university dues.
Some payments vary by level. For example, the reproduced schedule lists an identity-card charge for 300 Level and industrial training for 400 Level. These differences help explain why students at different levels may receive different bills.
There is also a calculation issue: some reproduced line items do not reconcile with the stated returning-student totals. The table above therefore retains the reported totals, rather than presenting a recalculated amount as an approved fee. Students should resolve any difference against their portal invoice before paying.
FUTA Medicine, Nursing and Other Health Programme Charges
Separate amounts are reported for the following programmes:
| Programme or charge | Reported amount |
|---|---|
| Medicine and Surgery — pre-clinical | ₦350,000 |
| Medicine and Surgery — clinical | ₦450,000 |
| Medical Laboratory Science | ₦250,000 |
| Public Health | ₦200,000 |
| Nursing Sciences | ₦300,000 |
| Medical College dues | ₦2,500 |
These figures appear separately from the general level-based charges. The available material does not clearly establish whether each programme amount replaces or is added to the general bill. Consequently, ₦300,000 should not be presented as an established all-inclusive Nursing fee, nor should the medical charges automatically be added to every level total.
Students in these programmes should check the full list of charges on their individual accounts.
Acceptance Fee and Hostel Accommodation
A verified 2026/2027 acceptance-fee amount is not established in the material available for this article. Freshers should use the acceptance instructions attached to their admission and the charge generated through FUTA’s official system.
Accommodation is a separate application process on the undergraduate portal. When preparing your budget, keep hostel or private accommodation costs separate from academic charges. A school-fee payment alone should not be treated as confirmation of a hostel allocation.
For planning purposes, your total budget should account for:
- The academic charges on your invoice.
- Any separately billed acceptance or programme charges.
- Accommodation.
- Transport, feeding and study materials.
Avoid adding a fee twice if it is already included in the portal total.
How to Confirm and Pay FUTA School Fees
Start from the official FUTA website and select the undergraduate portal.
The university’s published portal instructions describe this payment process:
- Sign in to your student account.
- Open Payment.
- Check the amount listed as a debit under Student Ledger.
- Select the payment and generate an invoice.
- Note the Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) and order ID.
- Follow the payment instructions and approved channels shown on the invoice.
- Return to Confirm Payment and print your official receipt.
Before paying, confirm your name, programme, level, session and payment purpose. Keep the invoice and receipt together so you can trace the transaction if a payment issue occurs.
Can FUTA School Fees Be Paid in Instalments?
The publicly available portal instructions are inconsistent on this point: one version refers to part or full payment, while another requires full payment for subsequent registration activities. They also carry older session labels.
A general instalment policy for 2026/2027 cannot therefore be established from those pages. Use the payment options enabled in your current account and obtain clarification from the university if you need a payment arrangement.
FUTA School Fees Payment Deadline
A verified general payment deadline for 2026/2027 was not established from the sources reviewed. Check your student dashboard and the university’s current registration notices for the deadline applicable to your category.
If payment has been deducted but has not reflected, retain the RRR, receipt and transaction details, then use the help option on the official portal before attempting another payment.
