The management of the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) has announced the deadline for payment of school fees and registration for the 2026/2027 Academic Session.
Newly admitted and returning students are advised to pay up all the fees required by the school before the deadline.
UNIABUJA School Fees and Registration Deadline
The University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) has announced the deadline for payment of fees. The deadline for fees is March 2026.
If you pay your school fees after the deadline, it is not considered valid, and you may go through a lot of filing processes to get your money.
The penalty for defaulting is a loss of studentship for the 2026/2027 Academic Session.
Also, note that the lost session shall form part of the total duration allowed for the Programme.
However, a student who has a genuine reason(s) to apply for Temporary Withdrawal from Studies for the session must follow the due process before the end of the First Semester of the session.
How Much is UNIABUJA School Fees?
UNIABUJA school fees vary by faculty and by whether you are a new entrant or a returning student.
The university has stated publicly that it does not charge a “tuition fee” in the strict sense. What students pay is a bundle of registration, library, ICT, medical, and departmental charges that together make up the school fees bill.
UNIABUJA School Fees For New Students (Freshers)
UNIABUJA has not published one single, dated schedule for the 2026/2027 session that we could independently verify against the official portal.
The last clearly sourced, faculty-by-faculty breakdown came from the university’s own announcement for the 2022/2023 session, and multiple current trackers report further increases since then. Treat the figures below as a guide and confirm the invoice generated on your student portal before paying.
| FACULTY | LAST OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED (2022/2023, New Students) | RANGE CURRENTLY REPORTED FOR 2026/2027 |
| Arts | N96,500 – N101,500 | N100,000 – N180,000 |
| Agriculture | N137,500 | N150,000 – N200,000 |
| Health Sciences | N122,500 | N200,000 – N250,000 |

The right-hand column reflects what several independent fee trackers currently report for 2026/2027, not a figure acadanow has confirmed directly against a university document.
Because these trackers disagree on exact amounts within each faculty, we show a range rather than a single number. Generate your actual invoice on the UNIABUJA portal (uniabuja.edu.ng) to get the figure that applies to you.

Where UNIABUJA’s Confirmed Figures End and Estimates Begin
Two numbers on this page are firm: the N30,000 acceptance fee charged to every new intake, and the March 2026 payment deadline. Hostel rates are also stable, running from N10,000 at the mini campus to N25,000 for the newest female block on the main campus.
The undergraduate faculty ranges are the soft part. They come from trackers rather than a dated university circular, which is why each faculty shows a band instead of one amount. Postgraduate figures are steadier, with totals between N79,000 for PGDE and N289,500 for the Executive MBA.
So budget against the upper end of your faculty band, then let your portal invoice settle the matter. Paying before March keeps your studentship intact, since a defaulted session still counts toward the maximum duration allowed for your programme.
