The Michael Okpara University of Agriculture (MOUAU) has set March 2026 as the payment deadline for school fees and registration for the 2026/2027 academic session, covering both new and returning students across all colleges.
Missing that deadline carries a real cost: MOUAU treats late payment as invalid and can withdraw your studentship for the session entirely, with the lost session still counting toward your total allowed programme duration. Only a formally approved Temporary Withdrawal application, filed before the end of first semester, avoids that outcome.
MOUAU School Fees and Registration Deadline
The Michael Okpara University of Agriculture (MOUAU) 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.
