Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba (2025/2026 Session) Acceptance Fee And School Fees
Hello, dear reader! Whether you’re a newly admitted student into Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba (AAUA) or a returning student wondering if the fees have miraculously reduced (lol, I see you), then come closer. This post is just for you.
We’re about to dive deep into the two most important questions students ask after securing admission:
“How much is the acceptance fee?” and “What is the total school fees breakdown?”
So, grab a cup of something hot (or cold, depending on your budget), and let’s gist about money, AAUA-style!
First of All, Congratulations!
Yes! You made it. If you’re a fresher reading this, let me pause and say congratulations. You scaled through JAMB, the post-UTME hustle, the anxiety of checking admission status ten times a day, and boom—you got in.
But you see, after admission comes reality. And that reality? It comes in form of payment alerts. Let’s start from the first damage to your account balance: the acceptance fee.
AAUA Acceptance Fee for Freshers
Let’s talk straight—no sugarcoating. As a newly admitted student of AAUA, you’re required to pay an acceptance fee. This is not optional. This is not one of those “let me wait till next month” fees. If you don’t pay it on time, you might be waving your admission goodbye faster than you said hello.
So, how much is the acceptance fee?
As at the latest academic session, the acceptance fee for freshers at AAUA is ₦50,000.
Yes, fifty thousand naira. That’s your “I accept this admission” money. It’s more like a marriage proposal—if you don’t bring the ring (in this case, the money), no relationship is confirmed.
What Does the Acceptance Fee Cover?
Before you say “Ah ah! What am I accepting with ₦50,000?”, let’s break down what this covers (well, in theory):
-
Documentation and verification
-
Opening your student portal
-
Issuing of matriculation number
-
Access to some campus services
-
Peace of mind (because without it, you're not really a student yet)
After paying the acceptance fee, you can officially call yourself a Legit AAUAite. Until then, you’re just an aspiring fresher.
Now Let’s Talk About the Main Course: The School Fees
This is the real deal. The school fees—what you pay every session to keep enjoying lectures, course registration, and hopefully, good grades.
But let’s be real—AAUA school fees are not “one size fits all.” They vary based on:
-
Faculty or course of study
-
Whether you’re a fresher or returning student
-
Whether you're indigenes of Ondo State (though the school has largely unified rates)
Let me break it down like a true big sibling would.
AAUA School Fees Breakdown
For Freshers (New Students):
Depending on your course, school fees for freshers range between ₦120,000 to ₦150,000.
Here’s a general breakdown (please note: actual figures might slightly differ, but this gives you a close estimate):
Faculty | School Fees (₦) |
---|---|
Faculty of Arts | ₦120,000 |
Faculty of Science | ₦140,000 |
Faculty of Social & Management Sciences | ₦130,000 |
Faculty of Education | ₦120,000 |
Faculty of Law | ₦150,000 |
Faculty of Agriculture | ₦135,000 |
So yes, your course of study determines whether you’re paying rice and stew money or full jollof buffet cost.
Returning Students
If you’re a returning student, you can breathe a little easier. Your school fees are cheaper than what the freshers are paying. The fees usually fall within the ₦80,000 to ₦100,000 range, depending on your faculty.
But don’t get too relaxed. You’ll still pay your dues o—library fee, departmental charges, student union fees, and other surprise deductions. Yes, AAUA knows how to throw in small extras here and there.
Other Charges You Should Budget For
Apart from school and acceptance fees, you need to have small extra change in your wallet for these:
-
Medical Fee: ₦5,000 - ₦10,000
-
ICT Levy: ₦5,000
-
Library Fee: ₦2,000
-
Development Levy: ₦10,000 (for some faculties)
-
Student Union Dues: ₦1,500
-
Matriculation Gown Rental (for freshers): ₦2,000
-
Accommodation (Optional): ₦25,000 – ₦35,000 (depends on hostel)
See ehn, if you sum everything up for a fresher, be prepared to spend between ₦180,000 to ₦200,000 in your first year. If you’re a returning student, you might escape with around ₦100,000 or a little more, depending on your spending habits.
How to Pay AAUA School and Acceptance Fees
Let me guess. You’re thinking of walking into one random cybercafé and transferring money to an uncle that claims to work in “admission office,” right?
Don’t even try it!
AAUA uses an official payment portal. Here’s the safe route:
-
Visit the AAUA Portal.
-
Log in with your JAMB Registration Number or Matric Number.
-
Generate your payment invoice.
-
Pay online using your ATM card or print the invoice and pay at any designated bank.
-
Make sure you print your payment receipt and keep copies. If you lose it, you’ll do 'I’m sorry sir' plenty times later.
When Are These Payments Due?
Now this part is crucial.
-
Acceptance Fee: Usually within 2-3 weeks of admission offer. Don’t delay, unless you enjoy hypertension.
-
School Fees: Paid before resumption or within the first month of resuming. Sometimes, you’ll be allowed to register your courses before full payment, but don’t push your luck too far.
Remember, failure to pay on time means:
-
You can’t complete course registration
-
You won’t write exams
-
You may be locked out of school services
-
You risk losing your studentship if the session closes
Pro Tips from a Campus Veteran
As someone who has seen plenty AAUA students do trial and error, here are some survival tips:
-
Start saving early: If you wait till admission list drops, e go shock you.
-
Don’t borrow just to “flex” matric gown: Focus on your real academic needs first.
-
Use the school portal ONLY: That friend of your cousin’s friend who says he can help you pay? Don’t fall mugu.
-
Print every receipt: AAUA loves “proof.” Always keep your receipts safe—both hard and soft copy.
Conclusion

Yes, the fees are not beans, but education isn’t cheap (especially when you want it from a reputable public university like AAUA). The good news? Once you get through these payments, you’re on your way to a quality academic journey.
Remember, don’t just pay fees and sit down. Use the opportunity to grow, network, and plan your future. Whether you’re studying Law, Education, or Chemistry, make it count.
