Elizade University (2025/2026 Session) Acceptance Fee And School Fees Breakdown

Dear reader, let me guess—you just got that sweet message that says “Congratulations, you’ve been offered admission into Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin,” right? First of all, a big congrats! 🎉 Whether it was your first choice or Elizade somehow chose you, welcome to the next chapter of your academic hustle. But now that the celebration is over, let’s talk about the real gist—money. Specifically, the acceptance fee and school fees. Because as much as we love the idea of going to a university with a fancy name, bills don’t pay themselves.

So, grab a chilled drink or hot garri (depending on the situation), and let’s unpack everything you need to know about the cost of schooling at Elizade University—without the sugarcoating.

Let’s Start With the Acceptance Fee (aka “I Agree” Money)

Before you even dream of attending lectures or asking “Where’s the cafeteria?”, you’ll need to show some commitment by paying your acceptance fee. Think of it as the school’s way of saying: “We’ve kept your seat; now seal the deal.”

So how much is it?

The Elizade University acceptance fee is ₦100,000 (non-refundable).

Yes, it’s a bit on the high side, but look at the bright side—you’re about to school in one of Nigeria’s fast-rising private universities. The infrastructure is solid, the environment is serene, and it’s located in Ilara-Mokin, a place that gives off serious peaceful vibes. But if you don’t pay that ₦100k on time, Elizade won’t hesitate to hand your slot to someone else. And no, begging won’t work.

Important Tip: Try to pay your acceptance fee within the first 2–3 weeks after admission is offered. Elizade doesn’t play with deadlines.

Now Let’s Talk About the School Fees (Yes, the One That Really Hurts)

Let’s not pretend—private universities are not beans. They cost money. But when you’re paying premium, you’re also getting premium services. Elizade is not the kind of school where you’ll be fetching water with buckets or looking for lecture halls like you're on a treasure hunt.

Here’s the breakdown (Faculty-wise):

While fees may vary a little depending on the year and department, I’m giving you the general ballpark here so you don’t faint at the bank counter.

1. Faculty of Engineering

• Tuition Fees: ₦850,000 – ₦950,000
  Engineering students at Elizade get access to well-equipped labs and modern workshops. So yes, the fees are high, but at least they’re not using chalk and board to teach coding.

2. Faculty of Sciences

• Tuition Fees: ₦750,000 – ₦800,000
  Biochemistry, Microbiology, Physics with Electronics—you name it. The science students also enjoy decent lab time and materials.

3. Faculty of Law

• Tuition Fees: ₦850,000 – ₦900,000
  Ah, Law students. You people always like prestige. Good news is that Elizade’s law faculty is well-structured with a mock court and all that jazz. But the fees are not playing.

4. Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences

• Tuition Fees: ₦700,000 – ₦750,000
  Courses like English, International Relations, History, and Sociology fall here. It’s a little lighter on the wallet (if your wallet is heavy in the first place).

5. Faculty of Management and Social Sciences

• Tuition Fees: ₦700,000 – ₦750,000
  Business Administration, Accounting, Economics—those money-related courses. Ironically, the fees are “affordable” (for a private school), so maybe it's a sign to study how to manage money.

Fun Fact: Elizade allows you to pay in installments. So if your parents aren’t Dangote’s cousins, you don’t have to sell land to afford first semester.

Other Fees to Keep in Mind (Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You)

Now, tuition is just one side of the coin. Here are other “hidden” or not-so-hidden charges that usually come with private universities like Elizade:

1. Accommodation Fee

Hostel life is part of the Elizade experience. But it comes at a price.

• Accommodation: ₦150,000 – ₦250,000 depending on the room type (2-man, 4-man, ensuite, etc.)

And don’t expect you’ll smuggle 5 friends into your room—there are rules. Plus, their hostels are neat and modern. No peeling paint or rats doing night duty.

2. Medical Fee

• Medical/Health Insurance: ₦10,000 – ₦20,000
  This covers access to the school’s clinic and minor treatments. Please, try not to “over enjoy” this one unless you really need it.

3. ICT/Library Fee

• Fees: ₦15,000 – ₦25,000
  You’ll enjoy fast internet in school, but not for bingeing Netflix or streaming Man U matches. Academic use only—good luck with that.

4. ID Card, Matric Gown, and Others

• Freshers pay for ID, matriculation gown, and other welcome kits. Budget about ₦20,000 – ₦30,000.

Total Estimate Per Session (You Might Need a Chair for This One)

When you add it all up (tuition, accommodation, medicals, etc.), here’s a rough estimate of what you’ll be spending yearly:

And don’t forget the ₦100,000 acceptance fee at the beginning. So, your first-year payment might cross ₦1.2 million depending on your course.

Is It Worth It?

This is the big question. Is Elizade worth the fees? Well, if you’re looking for a quiet, quality-driven university that focuses on academics, discipline, and well-rounded learning, then yes. The university invests heavily in infrastructure and faculty. Their classrooms aren’t overcrowded, and their laboratories are modern and up to international standards.

Plus, the small student population means you get more attention from lecturers (whether that’s a good or bad thing depends on if you did your assignment).

And don’t forget the serene environment of Ilara-Mokin. No noisy buses, no smoky suya by the gates—just trees, peace, and students trying to survive 8 am lectures.

Pro Tips for Parents and Students

• Start saving early. Don’t wait until the last week of resumption to scramble for fees.

• Use the installment payment option if available. It saves stress and reduces the “one million naira shock.”

• Stay on top of deadlines. Late payments can delay your clearance or even bar you from sitting exams.

• Budget for extra costs. Textbooks, printing, and those weekend Indomie emergencies all cost money.

Final Words: Your Academic Journey Is an Investment

Look, I won’t lie—schooling at Elizade University is not cheap. But good education isn’t cheap anywhere in the world. What matters is what you do with the opportunity once you have it. Attend classes, read your books (I’m looking at you, Netflix lover), build connections, and develop yourself.

And remember: you're not just spending for the now, you're investing in the kind of future you want to build. So while the fees may pinch, the reward is worth the price—especially when you graduate without needing to wait years for NYSC or strike to end.

Congratulations again, and if you ever need help budgeting for student life, let me know. I have cheap food hacks too.
