Attention, all University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) students! The University Management has officially announced that the deadline for payment of school charges for both new and returning students is set for Sunday, April 30th, 2026.
The fee payment portal will be closed on this date, so it is crucial for all students who still need to pay their school charges within the stipulated time frame.
All UNIPORT students, both new and returning, are required to pay their school charges through the designated fee payment portal.
Please note that the fee payment portal will be closed after April 30th, 2026, and no further payments for school charges will be accepted.
Consequences of Not Paying School Charges on Time
Failure to pay your school charges by the April 30th deadline may result in serious consequences, including:
Inability to Register for Courses
Students who have yet to pay their school charges will be unable to register for courses for the current academic session.
Loss of Student Status
Students may lose their status as registered students at UNIPORT and may be required to reapply for admission in the future.
Additional Late Fees
The University may impose additional late fees on students who fail to pay their school charges by the deadline.
Clearing Payment Before the Portal Closes
Treat the stated date as the last safe day rather than the target. Bank transfers and portal confirmations do not always settle the same hour, and a payment made late on the final day can still post afterwards.
Generate your invoice on the designated fee payment portal before you move any money, so the amount you send matches the reference the university is expecting against your matriculation number.
Keep the transaction receipt and a screenshot of the confirmation page. If a payment fails to reflect, that pair of documents is what the bursary will ask you to produce.
Beating the April 30 Cut-Off at UNIPORT
The deadline for school charges at the University of Port Harcourt is Sunday, April 30th, 2026, and it applies equally to new and returning students. The payment portal closes that day and accepts nothing afterwards.
What follows a missed payment is not a warning but a chain of consequences. You cannot register for courses, your status as a registered student is at risk, and the university may add late charges on top.
Losing student status is the most costly of the three, since it can mean reapplying for admission rather than simply paying what you owed.
So pay early, confirm the transaction has reflected on the portal, and do not rely on a last-day transfer to land in time.
