The Joy of Admission — Then Comes the Bills

You know that feeling when you log into JAMB CAPS and see “ADMITTED”? It’s like the heavens open, angels sing, and your parents start calling extended family members to announce your breakthrough.

But after the jumping and thanksgiving, reality sets in.

That reality? Acceptance fee.

Followed very quickly by the big brother of them all — school fees.

Now let’s get into it.

What is the Acceptance Fee at FUHSI (Ila Orangun)?

Acceptance fee is that non-refundable payment you make to confirm to the school that you’ve accepted their offer. Think of it as your way of saying, “Yes, I’m coming. Keep my seat, abeg!”

At the Federal University of Health Sciences, Ila Orangun, the acceptance fee ranges between ₦20,000 to ₦25,000.

Now before you raise eyebrows and start comparing it to your friend’s school where they’re paying ₦10k, remember — this is a specialized federal health university. You’re not just going there to learn random courses; you’re going there to be trained as a healthcare professional.

So, yes. It’s worth it.

What Does the Acceptance Fee Cover?

Let me be honest — the acceptance fee won’t cover your hostel, food, or even hand sanitizer. But it’s a necessary payment because:

• It officially secures your place.

• It helps the school with administrative processing of your admission.

• It gives you access to further registration steps.

In short, don’t delay this one. Once you’ve seen your admission, start planning to pay it before the school gives your slot to someone else waiting on the list.

The School Fees Breakdown at FUHSI

Let’s now talk about the elephant in the room — school fees.

If you're imagining something crazy like ₦500k or ₦1 million, calm down. This is a federal university, not a private medical college run by oil billionaires.

On average, the school fees for freshers at FUHSI fall within ₦90,000 to ₦120,000, depending on the course and department. Returning students usually pay a bit less, but as a fresher, your first-year fees will definitely come with some extra add-ons.

Here’s a rough breakdown (because we all love lists):

1. Tuition Fees:

Federal universities generally don’t charge tuition for undergraduate students. So technically, this part is free. But that doesn't mean you won't still spend plenty.

2. Registration & Administrative Charges – ₦10,000 to ₦15,000:

Includes your file jacket (yes, you’ll still need a physical file), course registration, ID card, and all those other “bureaucracy things.”

3. Laboratory and Practical Fees – ₦20,000 to ₦30,000:

Health sciences = lab coats, chemicals, equipment, and things that smell weird. Whether you're doing Anatomy, Nursing, or Medical Lab Science, this is where a chunk of your money goes.

4. Library Fees – ₦5,000 to ₦10,000:

You’ll probably never finish reading the mountain of books available, but library fees are standard. And no, they won’t remove it even if you’re allergic to reading.

5. ICT Fees – ₦7,500 to ₦10,000:

Even though network may frustrate you sometimes, this covers access to online portals, e-learning tools, and Wi-Fi (where available).

6. Health Fees – ₦5,000 to ₦8,000:

If you catch flu during rainy season, the school clinic is your first port of call. This fee keeps it running.

7. Sports Fees – ₦3,000 to ₦5,000:

Yes, you’re in a health university. But your brain needs body movement too. Whether it’s football, table tennis or aerobics, this covers basic sports facilities.

8. Development Levy – ₦10,000 or more:

This one is like a mystery. You won’t know exactly what it’s developing, but it’s mandatory.

9. Matriculation Gown Fee – ₦2,000 to ₦3,000:

That robe you'll wear to your matriculation ceremony isn’t free. You’re basically renting it for photos.

Accommodation and Hostel Fees

This one is always tricky. Hostel availability is limited, and not everybody will get a bed space — unless you’re sharp and lucky (or know someone who knows someone).

The hostel fees at FUHSI can range between ₦20,000 and ₦35,000 depending on the room type, utilities, and whether it's on or off-campus.

If you decide to stay off-campus, remember you’ll have to budget for:

• Rent (₦50k to ₦100k per year depending on area)

• Transport fare to campus

• Feeding (unless you like fasting)

• Security and convenience

Other Hidden Costs You Should Prepare For

I won’t lie to you. After acceptance and school fees, you’ll still have some lowkey spending to do:

• Medical Test Fees: Before you’re allowed to fully resume, you’ll be required to do a medical test. Budget around ₦5,000 to ₦10,000.

• Departmental and Faculty Dues: These ones show up like surprise guests. Could be ₦3,000 to ₦10,000.

• Union Dues: You’ll likely join the Student Union or associations relevant to your course. Small dues go a long way.

• Books & Study Materials: Even if you love PDFs, some lecturers still insist on “hard copy” materials.

• Practical Equipment: Depending on your course, you may need to buy lab coats, stethoscopes, or drawing sets.

Payment Tips for New Students

Let’s be smart with money, yeah?

1. Don’t Rush: If you see any random site claiming you can “pay school fees online,” be careful. Always use the university’s official portal.

2. Keep Receipts: Even if it’s digital, always print or save confirmation pages. You don’t want to start explaining story to bursary department later.

3. Ask Questions: Don’t just follow the crowd. If you’re unsure about a fee, ask your department or official school contacts.

4. Budget for the Year: School fees are just one slice of the cake. Plan for accommodation, feeding, transport, and emergencies.

Conclusion

If you’re feeling the pressure after reading all these figures, breathe. Remember, education — especially in the health field — is an investment that pays back tenfold. In a few years, you’ll be saving lives, curing diseases, or contributing to medical breakthroughs.

So whether it’s the acceptance fee that’s knocking on your head or school fees that are making your pocket feel lonely, just know you’re building your future one naira at a time.

Parents, support your children the best way you can. And to our dear students, don’t give up. Pay the fees, attend your lectures, and by God’s grace, graduation day will come with joy and no carryovers.
