The management of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) 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.
UNILORIN School Fees and Registration Deadline
The University of Ilorin 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.
UNILORIN School Fees 2026/2027
UNILORIN’s fees jumped sharply from the per-department figures we previously held on record, which dated back to the 2022/2023 session and listed most departments around ₦18,300 for freshers plus a smaller “other charges” amount.
That old table is no longer a useful guide: fees at federal universities across Nigeria, UNILORIN included, rose substantially from 2024 onward. Several independent sources now describe a similar, much higher structure for 2026/2027, broken down by faculty tier:
| Faculty Group | Fresh Students (₦) | Returning Students (₦) |
| Arts & Humanities | 90,000–120,000 | 60,000–85,000 |
| Social Sciences | 90,000–120,000 | 60,000–85,000 |
| Sciences | 100,000–130,000 | 70,000–100,000 |
| Engineering & Technology | 120,000–150,000 | 90,000–120,000 |
| Health Sciences (Nursing, Medicine-related) | 150,000–200,000 | 120,000–160,000 |
Individual departments vary within these bands; for example, Medicine & Surgery has been quoted at roughly ₦195,000 for freshers, and courses like Philosophy around ₦120,000.
We’re treating these as a reasonable cross-checked estimate rather than an exact, confirmed figure, since we couldn’t locate UNILORIN’s own itemised fee schedule published for 2026/2027 at the time of writing.
For your exact UNILORIN school fees by department and level, check your invoice on portal.unilorin.edu.ng once admission is confirmed, where the figure is generated specifically for your programme.

How Much Is UNILORIN Acceptance Fee?
UNILORIN’s acceptance fee for newly admitted students falls somewhere between ₦25,000 and ₦40,000, depending on which source you check; we couldn’t pin down one exact figure that every source agrees on.
The acceptance fee is non-refundable, and new intakes must pay it to be considered students, so confirm the current amount on your admission letter or the acceptance fee payment portal before paying.
How Much Is UNILORIN Hostel Fee?
Students who want campus accommodation need to apply through the school’s hostel allocation process ahead of resumption. We couldn’t find a specific, current hostel fee figure published on UNILORIN’s own channels, so confirm the amount with student affairs or the accommodation portal before applying.
Letting Your UNILORIN Invoice Settle the Argument
The faculty bands on this page are useful for working out whether you are budgeting for ninety thousand or two hundred thousand Naira. They are not useful for working out the kobo, because no itemised UNILORIN schedule for 2026/2027 was available when this was written.
Once your admission is confirmed, portal.unilorin.edu.ng generates an invoice built for your department and level. That single document replaces every estimate here, including the acceptance fee range, and it is the only figure a bank or the bursary will recognise.
Hostel costs sit outside that invoice and were not published on the university’s own channels either, so student affairs remains the place to ask. Applying through the hostel allocation process early matters more than knowing the figure in advance.
Whatever your department charges, March 2026 is the line. Payment after it is not counted as valid at the University of Ilorin, and the lost session still eats into the time allowed for your programme.
