Candidates admitted to the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) for the 2026/2027 academic session need to complete several payments before moving fully into the registration process.
The most important are the acceptance fee, screening-related payment and school fees. These charges are separate, and the amount a student pays can depend on the programme and the payment items displayed on the official FUOYE portal.
FUOYE’s 2026/2027 admission portal is currently active for newly admitted UTME candidates and provides the payment process for acceptance and screening fees. The university also states that candidates who previously paid ₦70,000 as acceptance or ₦5,000 as screening should return to the portal to pay any outstanding balance applicable to their programme.
FUOYE Acceptance Fee 2026/2027
The FUOYE acceptance fee is paid by newly admitted students to complete the admission acceptance process.
For the current admission exercise, FUOYE uses programme-based payment categories rather than one universal acceptance amount. Candidates should therefore check the amount generated in their individual admission account before making payment.
The current FUOYE portal specifically warns candidates who paid ₦70,000 as acceptance instead of the correct amount for their programme to return to the payment page and settle the outstanding balance.
This means students should not assume that ₦70,000 is the final acceptance fee for every FUOYE programme.
FUOYE Acceptance Fee by Programme Category
| Programme category | Acceptance fee | Agriculture, Arts, Education and Science | ₦80,000 | Communication and Media Studies, Engineering, Environmental Design and Management, Management Sciences and Social Sciences | ₦90,000 | Basic Medical Sciences, Law, Medicine and Pharmacy | ₦100,000 |
|---|
Candidates should rely on the amount shown on their official FUOYE payment account if it differs from a general fee table.
FUOYE School Fees 2026/2027
FUOYE school fees are separate from the acceptance fee.
The university’s Academic Fees page explains that approved tuition and other charges are published for each academic session. However, the undergraduate fee schedule currently available on that official page is labelled 2025/2026 Academic Fees rather than 2026/2027.
For that reason, students should not treat figures circulating online as the final 2026/2027 FUOYE school fees until the university publishes or generates the applicable fee schedule for the new session.
The amount can also vary according to programme, faculty and level.
What FUOYE School Fees Can Cover
The published undergraduate fee schedule contains several charges rather than a single tuition item.
These include charges such as:
- Administrative fee
- Development levy
- Examination fee
- Identity card
- Library
- Matriculation
- Medical fee
- TISHIP
- Student handbook
- Sports
- ICT registration
- University calendar
- Laboratory or workshop fee
- Field trip
- Caution fee
- Results verification
- Departmental charges
- Faculty charges
- Insurance
- Entrepreneurship
- Student Union dues
The applicable charges can differ between programme groups.
Is FUOYE School Fees the Same for Every Course?
No.
FUOYE does not use one identical fee for every undergraduate programme. Programme and faculty differences can affect the charges, particularly where laboratory, workshop, clinical or other specialised requirements apply.
A student admitted to Medicine, Pharmacy, Law, Engineering or another specialised programme should therefore check the payment account for the programme-specific charges instead of relying on the amount paid by a student in another faculty.
FUOYE Acceptance Fee and School Fees: What Is the Difference?
The two payments serve different purposes.
| Payment | Purpose | Who pays? |
|---|---|---|
| Acceptance fee | Confirms acceptance of the admission offer | Newly admitted students |
| Screening-related fee | Covers the applicable admission/screening process | Candidates as instructed by FUOYE |
| School fees | Covers approved academic and institutional charges | Students according to their level and programme |
| Hostel fees | Covers accommodation where applicable | Students who secure university accommodation |
Paying the acceptance fee does not automatically mean that a student has completed the school-fee payment.
How to Pay FUOYE Acceptance Fee
Newly admitted candidates should make the payment through the FUOYE admission portal.
Follow these steps:
- Log in to the FUOYE CASAPS portal.
- Enter your JAMB registration number and the required name details.
- Confirm your admission status.
- Update your profile where required.
- Open the payment section.
- Select the acceptance-fee payment.
- Check the amount generated for your programme.
- Complete the payment through the approved payment channel.
- Save or print the payment receipt.
FUOYE’s current registration guide places acceptance and screening payment after admission-status confirmation and profile update.
How to Pay FUOYE School Fees
Once the university opens the applicable school-fee payment for the 2026/2027 session, students should make payment through the official FUOYE student portal.
The process generally involves:
- Log in to the FUOYE student account.
- Open the payment section.
- Select the applicable school-fee or approved charge.
- Generate the required payment reference.
- Complete the payment through the authorised payment gateway.
- Confirm that the payment has been recorded.
- Print or save the receipt.
Do not make school-fee payments into a personal bank account or through an agent claiming to be processing the payment on behalf of the university.
What to Do After Paying the FUOYE Acceptance Fee
Acceptance-fee payment is only one stage of the admission process.
FUOYE’s current 2026/2027 registration guide gives the following sequence:
Admission status → Profile update → Acceptance and screening fees → Result verification → Admission letter → SmartCampus registration
After payment, candidates should complete result verification from their dashboard.
The portal requires candidates to provide the relevant examination details, including examination number, examination year, PIN and serial number. Candidates with two examination sittings can also provide the second result where applicable.
After successful verification, candidates can submit the required information and generate their admission letter.
FUOYE Fees 2026/2027: What Students Should Budget For
A newly admitted student should not calculate the cost of studying at FUOYE using only the acceptance fee.
The first-year budget may include:
| Expense | Payment stage |
|---|---|
| Acceptance fee | After admission |
| Screening-related payment | As directed on the portal |
| School fees | After the applicable fee schedule is available |
| Clearance-related charges | During clearance where applicable |
| Accommodation | If university hostel accommodation is secured |
| Medical requirements | During registration where applicable |
| Departmental requirements | According to programme |
| Registration charges | During registration |
The actual amount required will depend on the student’s programme, level and the charges generated on the official FUOYE portal.
Important Warning for FUOYE Candidates
FUOYE’s current admission portal warns candidates who paid incorrect acceptance or screening amounts to return to the payment page and settle their outstanding balance.
Candidates should therefore check their payment status after every transaction.
Do not assume that an earlier payment is correct simply because the transaction succeeded. The amount generated for your programme on the official FUOYE account is the figure that matters for completing your admission process.
Conclusion
FUOYE acceptance fee and school fees are separate payments for students entering the university in the 2026/2027 academic session.
The acceptance fee depends on the programme category, while school-fee charges can vary according to the student’s programme and level. FUOYE’s current admission portal is already processing acceptance and screening payments, but its official Academic Fees page currently displays the 2025/2026 undergraduate schedule rather than a clearly published 2026/2027 schedule.
Newly admitted students should therefore complete their acceptance process through the official FUOYE portal and use the fee amount generated for their individual account rather than relying on an unverified figure.
