The tuition fee for OAU part-time students is between (₦70,000) and (₦320,000) depending on the course you want to study.

If you are running a part-time post-graduate study, you might be paying up to (₦450,000). Again, this depends on the course of study.

How Much is OAU Acceptance Fee?

The Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) charges ₦20,000 twenty thousand Naira only for her acceptance fee.

New intakes must pay their acceptance fees to be considered students.

How Much is OAU Hostel Fee?

Students who want to stay in the hostel accommodations that are made available by the school authorities would have to apply before time.

OAU hostel fees accommodation fee is (₦25,000) twenty-five thousand Naira only for an academic session.

The downside to this is that if you are someone who likes privacy, you may not be able to live your private life in these hostels.

There are sometimes up to 10 students per room. The hostels have public bathrooms and toilets. Hence, you shouldn’t expect it to be as comfortable as that of people living outside the hostel.

How Steeply OAU Charges Drop After First Year

The fall between fresher and returning rates is sharp. Arts and Law students go from N43,700 to N19,700, science from N54,700 to N27,700, and clinical programmes from N57,700 to N30,700.

That is a saving of N24,000 in the arts band and N27,000 in the other two, so the first year carries more than twice the charge of every year after it.

One line on the returning schedule deserves attention. An extra semester in rain or harmattan is billed at the full session rate, N19,700 or N27,700, rather than at half, so repeating a semester costs as much as a whole year.

With acceptance at N20,000 and a hostel bed at N25,000, an arts fresher at Obafemi Awolowo University needs N88,700 to start. The deadline is March 2026, and hostel rooms can hold up to ten students.
