The management of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) has officially published the approved schedule of AAUA School Fees for the 2026/2027 academic session. As one of the most prominent state-owned universities in Southwestern Nigeria, AAUA operates a structured tuition policy that varies depending on the student’s faculty, chosen course of study, and academic level (fresh undergraduate vs. returning student).
Understanding the exact financial requirements before academic activities commence is essential for both parents and candidates. In this comprehensive 2,000-word breakdown, we detail the complete schedule of AAUA School Fees, the mandatory non-refundable acceptance fee, faculty-by-faculty charges, accommodation costs, and the step-by-step procedure for generating invoices through the official university portal.
Overview of AAUA School Fees Structure
At Adekunle Ajasin University, undergraduate financial obligations are divided into two main categories:
Direct Tuition Charges: The core academic fee payable per session or per semester (where installment options apply).
Statutory Non-Tuition Levies: These include laboratory practical fees, ICT/portal access dues, student union levies, medical examination fees, and orientation materials for newly admitted students.
For the 2026/2027 session, AAUA School Fees for freshers generally range between ₦100,000 and ₦150,000 depending on the faculty, while returning students pay slightly lower rates, typically between ₦80,000 and ₦120,000 (with Law remaining at ₦150,000).
AAUA Acceptance Fee 2026/2027 (Freshers Only)
Before any newly admitted candidate can generate an invoice for AAUA School Fees, they must clear the mandatory Acceptance Fee.
Standard Acceptance Fee: ₦50,000 – ₦75,000 (depending on the course; professional disciplines like Law may carry higher initial clearance verification levies).
Validity: This fee is strictly one-off and non-refundable.
Payment Window: Candidates are typically given an administrative window of two weeks from the date of admission confirmation on JAMB CAPS to pay this fee. Failure to settle the acceptance fee within the stated period can lead to the automated revocation of the provisional admission offer.
Complete Breakdown of AAUA School Fees for Freshers (100 Level & Direct Entry)
Fresh undergraduate students incur slightly higher consolidated fees due to initial matriculation, health checks, identity card production, and department-specific onboarding logistics.
The official faculty-by-faculty breakdown of AAUA School Fees for new students is structured as follows:
| Faculty / Academic Discipline | Freshers’ Standard Tuition (₦) | Estimated Ancillary Charges (₦) | Total Expected Initial Outlay (₦) |

ICT and Portal Maintenance Fee: ₦5,000.00 (Enables course registration and semester result access).

Can You Pay AAUA School Fees in Installments?
To ease the financial burden on parents and sponsors, the university governing council typically permits a two-installment payment framework:
First Semester Installment (60%): Students are allowed to pay 60% of their total approved AAUA School Fees upon resumption to enable them to register for first-semester courses and sit for exams.
Second Semester Installment (40%): The remaining 40% balance must be cleared before the commencement of second-semester examinations.
Important Policy Note: Students paying in installments must ensure the second tranche is settled promptly before the designated portal cut-off date. Course registration sheets are automatically frozen if fees remain incomplete at the end of the academic session.
AAUA Hostel Accommodation Fees
Living within the university campus is optional, but many students prefer it for security, proximity to lecture theaters, and access to campus electricity and water utilities.
Campus Hostels: Standard university halls range between ₦25,000 and ₦60,000 per academic session, depending on the hostel location and room allocation type.
Allocation Procedure: Hostel spaces are secured strictly on a first-come, first-served basis through the official student dashboard after full or initial payment of AAUA School Fees.
Off-Campus Alternatives: Students who do not secure on-campus accommodation reside in private student apartments in Akungba-Akoko town, where self-contained rooms typically cost between ₦120,000 and ₦250,000 annually, depending on amenities and proximity to the school gate.
Step-by-Step Guide to Paying AAUA School Fees via the Portal
To prevent payment diversion, fraudulent transactions, or cyber-café errors, all payments for AAUA School Fees must be initiated and completed through the university’s authenticated portal network.
Step 1: Access the Student Dashboard
Launch your web browser and navigate directly to eduportal.aaua.edu.ng.
Fresh students should log in using their JAMB Registration Number as the username, while returning students must input their verified Matriculation Number and secure password.
Step 2: Generate the Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR)
On the student dashboard navigation menu, locate and click on “Fee Payment” or “School Fees”.
Select your current academic session (2026/2027) and indicate your payment preference: Full Payment or Installment Payment.
The system will compute your specific departmental charges and generate a designated invoice with an automated Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) number.
Step 3: Execute Payment
You have two legitimate options to finalize the financial transaction:
Online Card Payment: Click the direct checkout button to pay immediately on the Remita interface using an active commercial debit card (Mastercard, Visa, or Verve).
Bank Branch Option: Print the generated RRR invoice slip, proceed to any commercial bank branch nationwide, and make a direct cash deposit against the RRR code.
Step 4: Verify and Print Official Receipts
Once payment confirmation is received, log back into the portal to refresh your financial clearance status.
Navigate to the payment history module and print your Official AAUA School Fees Payment Receipt.
Save both digital (PDF) and physical copies, as this receipt is mandatory for physical departmental clearance and examination hall admittance.
FAQ: AAUA School Fees 2026/2027
Does AAUA charge different school fees for indigenes and non-indigenes?
Historically, state universities occasionally apply stratified fees. While previous sessions saw slight differences, current approved schedules at AAUA have moved largely toward uniform faculty-based pricing, with differences mostly determined by the course tier rather than state of origin. Always review your portal invoice for your precise figure.
Is the acceptance fee deducted from the main AAUA School Fees?
No. The acceptance fee is a distinct, separate one-time charge paid to secure your admission before tuition is processed. It does not reduce your tuition invoice.
What should I do if my payment reflects as “Pending” on Remita?
If your account was debited but your portal status remains pending, do not initiate another transaction. Wait 24 hours for interbank settlement, then log into your portal and click the “Requery Payment” button. If it remains unresolved, take your bank statement of account to the AAUA Bursary/ICT unit.
Conclusion: Financial Preparedness for the Session
Settling your AAUA School Fees within the officially announced administrative windows is critical to maintaining your academic standing at Adekunle Ajasin University. Ensure that all payments are channeled strictly through the approved eduportal.aaua.edu.ng portal to avoid payment errors.
