Adamawa State University (2025/2026 Session) Acceptance Fee And School Fees
So, You Got Admitted to ADSU? Welcome to Mubi Life!
First of all, congratulations! If you're reading this, then there’s a solid chance that either you, your sibling, your friend, or someone you know has just been offered admission into Adamawa State University, Mubi—fondly called ADSU. Whether it’s for a B.Sc. in Computer Science or a B.A. in History, trust me, the joy of seeing your name on that admission list is unbeatable.
But hold up—before you start shopping for new clothes and prepping your “campus slay” wardrobe, there's something more pressing: money talk. Yes, my friend, before you can start flexing in lectures and taking selfies by the Senate building, you need to know how much it’ll cost you to accept the admission and how much you’ll pay per session.
Let’s dive into it.
First Things First: What Is an Acceptance Fee?
If you’re hearing about “acceptance fee” for the first time, don’t worry—nobody came out of the womb knowing this. The acceptance fee is the money you pay to officially say, “Yes, I accept this admission!” It’s basically like saying "count me in” to the university.
And without paying it, your admission might vanish like puff puff on a hungry man’s plate. In short: pay it, and pay it early.
Adamawa State University Acceptance Fee (2025)
As of the 2025 academic session, the ADSU acceptance fee for newly admitted students is approximately ₦10,000 (Ten Thousand Naira only).
Sounds affordable, right? Compared to many other universities that charge double or even triple that amount, ADSU is relatively student-friendly. But don’t take the affordability for granted. If you don’t pay within the stipulated time (usually within a few weeks of admission), your slot may be given to someone else.
How to Pay Your Acceptance Fee at ADSU
Alright, now that you know how much, the next question is how to pay. ADSU typically allows payment via the student portal. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Visit the ADSU student portal – usually something like www.adsu.edu.ng (confirm the link from your admission letter).
-
Login using your JAMB Registration Number and other required details.
-
Navigate to “Acceptance Fee Payment.”
-
Generate your Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR).
-
Take the RRR to any commercial bank or use an online payment platform (like Remita or Paystack) to complete your payment.
-
After payment, return to the portal to confirm and print your payment receipt.
Keep that receipt like gold—it’s your proof of acceptance.
What Comes After Acceptance?
Great, you’ve paid the acceptance fee. Now what? Next up is school fees, or what I call “the real deal.”
This is where many students (and parents) start breathing heavily. But don’t worry—ADSU is not here to swallow your life savings. Let’s break it down.
