The management of Yusuf Maitama Sule University, Kano (YUMSUK) has not published a confirmed school fees schedule for the 2026/2027 Academic Session on its official portal as of this update.
Several unofficial education sites quote figures for this session, but we could not verify them directly against YUMSUK’s own bursary notice, so we’re giving you what’s reasonably well corroborated and flagging the rest as unconfirmed.
YUMSUK School Fees and Registration Deadline
Newly admitted and returning students are advised to pay all required fees before the deadline the school sets for each session. Paying after the deadline is not considered valid, and late payers often have to go through extra filing processes to get their records sorted.
The penalty for defaulting is a loss of studentship for the 2026/2027 Academic Session, and a lost session counts toward the total duration allowed for your 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.
How Much Is YUMSUK School Fees?
YUMSUK school fees are charged on a sliding scale, with Kano State indigenes paying less than non-indigenes, and science-based programmes costing more than arts and humanities. Based on reports from the last admission cycle (not yet confirmed for 2026/2027), the rough bands look like this:
| Category | Kano Indigenes | Non-Indigenes |
| Education, Humanities, Arts | ₦45,000 – ₦80,000 | ₦90,000 – ₦140,000 |
| Social / Management Sciences | ₦60,000 – ₦100,000 | ₦110,000 – ₦170,000 |
| Sciences | ₦80,000 – ₦130,000 | ₦140,000 – ₦210,000 |
| Computer Science | ₦95,000 – ₦150,000 | ₦160,000 – ₦230,000 |
| Law (LLB) | ₦120,000 – ₦190,000 | ₦200,000 – ₦290,000 |
These bands are noticeably higher than the roughly ₦30,000–₦120,000 range YUMSUK charged a couple of sessions ago, which lines up with the wider trend of Nigerian state universities reviewing fees upward. Treat the table as a guide, not a final invoice, until the school confirms it. Generate your actual invoice on the student portal before paying anything.

How Much Is YUMSUK Acceptance Fee?
Recent reports put the YUMSUK acceptance fee at roughly ₦5,000 to ₦10,000, down from the ₦10,000 flat figure quoted in earlier sessions on this page, though we couldn’t confirm an exact amount against the official portal.
New intakes must pay their acceptance fee to be considered enrolled students, so confirm the exact figure on your admission letter or the portal before paying.
How Much Is YUMSUK Hostel Fee?
Students who want hostel accommodation made available by the school authorities would have to apply ahead of time, since space is limited. We previously had YUMSUK hostel fees at ₦25,000 for an academic session; we haven’t been able to confirm whether that figure still holds for 2026/2027, so check with the hostel office directly.
Reading the YUMSUK Bands While the Official Notice Is Missing
Two variables drive the table above at Yusuf Maitama Sule University: Kano State indigene status and how practical your discipline is. Non-indigenes pay roughly double across every row, and the ladder climbs steadily from Education through to Law.
The ranges themselves are wide because they are drawn from the last admission cycle rather than a current circular. A non-indigene law student could be looking at anywhere from ₦200,000 to ₦290,000, which is too broad a gap to budget against confidently.
What has clearly happened is an upward review. The earlier range of roughly ₦30,000 to ₦120,000 no longer reflects what students report paying, in line with how state universities across Nigeria have moved their fees.
Generate your own invoice on the student portal before transferring anything, and take the acceptance fee from your admission letter rather than this page. The hostel office is the right place for accommodation, since space is limited and the old ₦25,000 figure is unverified.
