Crawford University School Fees & Acceptance Fee for 2026/2027 Academic Session

Crawford University (CRU), Igbesa, Ogun State, has released its approved school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session. The figures below come straight from the university’s official fee schedule, published by the bursary in August 2026, so you can budget with confidence rather than guessing from recycled numbers online.

One change worth flagging: Crawford no longer accepts fee payments through commercial banks. Every payment, from acceptance fee to tuition, now goes strictly through the official university portal.

How Much Is Crawford University School Fees?

Fees depend on your college, your programme, and whether you’re a 100 Level/Direct Entry student or in 200 to 400 Level. Fresh students and DE entrants pay more in their first year because it includes one-off charges like the New Horizons orientation fee folded into other categories; returning students pay a lower band from 200 Level onward.

College of Arts & Communication Studies

College of Business & Social Sciences

College of Natural & Applied Sciences

Each tuition figure already bundles an “Other Academic Fee” and a “General Fee” charged alongside it, which is why the totals above are higher than tuition alone. Graduating students in their final year pay extra convocation, project binding, and plagiarism-check fees on top of these totals.

How Much Is Crawford University Acceptance Fee?

For undergraduates, the acceptance fee is a flat ₦70,000, non-refundable, paid once your admission letter is issued. Postgraduate acceptance fees differ by level: ₦50,000 for PGD, ₦80,000 for M.Sc./MBA, and ₦100,000 for M.Phil./Ph.D.

Part-time applicants pay ₦50,000 for Degree or HND Conversion, ₦10,000 for Diploma or Professional Diploma, and ₦5,000 for the Certificate programme.

How Much Is Crawford University Hostel Fee?

Accommodation is first-come, first-served across named categories, and students pick a tier rather than paying a flat hostel fee:

Feeding is optional and billed separately through Crawford Catering Services: around ₦360,000 for breakfast, ₦448,000 for lunch, and ₦360,000 for dinner per session if you choose the full plan.

Other Fees to Budget For

• Library Pass Fee: ₦5,000

• New Horizons Fee (200L to 400L): ₦80,000
• College, departmental, SRC, and student association levies: roughly ₦10,000 combined

These figures reflect the schedule Crawford’s bursary approved for 2026/2027. Fees can still shift by college or get a mid-session adjustment, so confirm your exact bill on the student portal before making a payment.

Where a Crawford University Session Quietly Doubles in Cost

Tuition is the part most families plan for, but accommodation and feeding at Crawford can rival it. Hostel tiers run from ₦100,000 for Saphire up to ₦400,000 for Pearl, a ₦300,000 spread for what is otherwise the same session.

Feeding goes further still. Taking breakfast, lunch and dinner through Crawford Catering Services adds ₦1,168,000 across the session, which exceeds the tuition on several programmes listed above.

Smaller lines accumulate too. Freshers pay ₦40,000 for matriculation, everyone pays ₦22,000 for Wi-Fi and ₦5,000 for the library pass, and students from 200 level upward carry the ₦80,000 New Horizons fee.
