The management of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic (RUGIPO) has released its approved school fees schedule for the 2026/2027 academic session. Here is a full breakdown of what newly admitted and returning students are expected to pay.
Newly admitted and returning students should pay all required fees before the deadline set by the school to avoid losing their studentship for the session.
Rufus Giwa Polytechnic (RUGIPO) School Fees Payment Deadline
RUGIPO typically announces its fee payment deadline early in the first semester. Payment after the deadline is not considered valid, and students may have to go through extra verification steps to regularize their records.
The penalty for defaulting is loss of studentship for the 2026/2027 academic session, and a lost session still counts toward the total duration allowed for a student’s programme.
A student with a genuine reason to apply for Temporary Withdrawal from studies for the session must follow the due process before the end of the first semester.

| CATEGORY | SCIENCE-BASED | NON-SCIENCE-BASED |
| ND I & II (Indigene) | N70,600 | N67,100 |
| ND I & II (Non-Indigene) | N77,600 | N74,100 |

| CATEGORY | SCIENCE-BASED (PER SEMESTER) | NON-SCIENCE-BASED (PER SEMESTER) |
| ND (Part-Time) | N32,000 | N30,000 |
| HND (Part-Time) | N37,000 | N35,000 |

Where Part-Time Study Undercuts Full-Time at RUGIPO
Doubling the part-time semester rates gives a surprising result. A science ND part-timer pays N64,000 a session against N70,600 for the full-time indigene equivalent, and a non-science part-timer pays N60,000 against N67,100.
The part-time schedule also ignores residency entirely. A non-indigene studying full-time pays N7,000 more at ND level and N8,400 more at HND, while the part-time columns apply one rate to everyone.
Science programmes carry a modest premium throughout, N3,500 at ND level and N4,900 at HND, so your discipline matters far less here than your mode of study.
Budget beyond tuition as well. The N15,000 acceptance fee, N7,500 application form, N5,000 result verification and N5,000 admission letter add N32,500, taking a science ND indigene fresher at Rufus Giwa Polytechnic to roughly N103,100.
