The management of the Federal University, Dutsin-Ma (FUDMA) 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.
FUDMA School Fees and Registration Deadline
FUDMA 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, and a lost session still counts toward the total duration allowed for your programme.
A student with a genuine reason to apply for Temporary Withdrawal from studies must follow the due process before the end of the first semester.

FUDMA’s management has confirmed that fudma school fees for all courses remain unchanged for the 2026/2027 session, so the breakdown below still applies. Tuition itself is subsidised at ₦0 for federal-government-funded undergraduate programmes; what you’re paying is the mandatory charges around it.

FUDMA charges ₦10,000 for its acceptance fee, confirmed as unchanged for 2026/2027 across the sources we checked. New intakes must pay their acceptance fee before they can print their admission notification letter.
How Much Is FUDMA Hostel Fee?
Students who want to stay in the hostel accommodations made available by the school authorities would have to apply before time.

Confirm with student affairs before applying, as this is a non-compulsory charge tied to availability.
Which FUDMA Charges Actually Land on Your Invoice
The headline worth remembering about Federal University, Dutsin-Ma is that tuition is billed at zero. Everything you pay is a mandatory charge sitting around it, which is why the fresher total moves between roughly ₦44,800 and ₦70,000 depending purely on your department.
Two rows do most of that moving. The ₦10,000 laboratory, workshop and studio charge does not apply to History, Sociology, Political Science or Business Management, and the ₦5,000 SIWES line only touches Agriculture, Science, Geography and Education students.
Returning students work from a smaller list. The compulsory sub-total comes to ₦37,500, and hostel bed space plus maintenance adds ₦10,090 on top for anyone who takes a room, bringing the full figure to ₦47,590.
Confirm your own total on myportal.fudutsinma.edu.ng rather than adding the rows by hand, and settle it before the March 2026 deadline. Freshers should also note that the ₦10,000 acceptance fee gates the admission notification letter.
