Fuwukari (2025/2026 Session) Acceptance & School Fees Breakdown

So, you checked your JAMB portal 47 times in one night, your heart pounding like generator when fuel is almost finished, and finally—admission! You screamed, your mother danced a small azonto, and your dad gave you the “I’m proud of you” nod. Now it’s time to enter the real world of Federal University, Wukari (FUWUKARI) in Taraba State.

But hold up—before you go printing T-shirts that say “FUWUKARI Student,” let’s talk money. Because as much as school na for brain work, if you no pay fees, you no go see lecture hall.

Today, we’re diving deep into FUWUKARI’s acceptance fee and school fee structure. If you’re a fresher, returning student, or even an eager parent reading on behalf of your child (bless your heart), this post is for you.

Let’s roll!

What Is Acceptance Fee—and Why It Matters More Than Your Matric Gown

Let’s start with this golden phrase: acceptance fee. For those new to university lingo, the acceptance fee is that first payment you make to say, “Yes! I accept this admission.”

Think of it like RSVP-ing to a wedding. If you don’t pay, FUWUKARI might just pass your slot to someone else who’s already on standby with two pens and a passport photo.

Now here’s the good part:

• FUWUKARI’s acceptance fee is just ₦5,000.

Yes, you read that right. Just five thousand naira and you officially join the squad. It’s one of the most affordable among federal universities. And even though it’s small, don’t let the price fool you—it carries weight. Without it, you can’t proceed to do your registration or enter lecture halls. It’s a one-time, non-refundable payment.

So once you see your name on the admission list, don’t carry it about like souvenir—rush and pay the acceptance fee ASAP.

The Main Gist: FUWUKARI School Fees (What to Really Expect)

Now let’s get into the main matter—school fees.

Here’s what you should know straight up: FUWUKARI has a relatively simple and transparent fee structure. But your department matters. Whether you’re studying Chemistry or Christian Religious Studies, the bill you get won’t be the same.

Let’s break it down by faculty and level.

Freshers’ School Fees (100 Level or Direct Entry)

If you just gained admission, here’s what to expect in your first year:

A. For Science-Based Courses (e.g. Physics, Biology, Computer Science)

• School fees: ₦68,000 – ₦80,000

• Add acceptance fee: ₦5,000

• Total for freshers in sciences: around ₦73,000 – ₦85,000

This covers registration, ICT fees, medicals, examination fees, and some faculty-specific charges. Some courses like Microbiology, Computer Science, and Physics may fall on the higher end.

B. For Non-Science Courses (e.g. History, Political Science, Sociology)

• School fees: ₦62,000 – ₦75,000

• Plus acceptance: ₦5,000

• Total estimate: ₦67,000 – ₦80,000

If you’re going into the arts or management sciences, you’re likely to pay slightly less than your friends in the labs.

C. Law Students

Law is not beans, and neither are the bills. It’s considered a professional course.

• School fees: ₦80,000 – ₦90,000

• Acceptance: ₦5,000

• Total estimate: ₦85,000 – ₦95,000

Law students may also face additional fees for moot court or professional development.

D. Medical or Allied Health Sciences (e.g. Anatomy, Physiology)

If you’re part of the few offering anything related to medicine:

• School fees: ₦100,000 – ₦120,000

• Acceptance fee: ₦5,000

• Total estimate: ₦105,000 – ₦125,000

These fees cover intensive lab sessions, practicals, and sometimes even cadaver use (yes, real human bodies). So it makes sense.

Returning Students (200L and Above)

If you’re already in FUWUKARI and coming back for another round (because we must collect that degree!), here’s how the fees change:

• Science Students: ₦45,000 – ₦70,000

• Non-Science Students: ₦40,000 – ₦65,000

• Law and Medicine: ₦60,000 – ₦90,000

There’s no more acceptance fee, and you don’t have to pay for things like ID card or matric gown again. So yes, the financial burden gets lighter as you go.

FUWUKARI Hostel Fees – You Want to Chop Life on Campus?

Let’s face it—not everyone likes off-campus wahala. If you want to enjoy early morning lectures without sweating for bike money, FUWUKARI has hostels.

• Standard Hostel: ₦15,000 – ₦20,000

• Premium or newer hostels: ₦25,000

But hostel spaces are limited. You literally have to be on high alert the moment hostel registration opens. First come, first served.

Also, once you’re allocated a space, please don’t pay late. You snooze, you lose (and someone else snoozes on your bed).

What’s Included in the School Fees?

Here’s a peek into what your ₦70,000–₦100,000 fee might cover:

• Tuition

• Registration charges

• ICT & internet services

• Medical and health insurance

• Library fees

• Development levy

• Examination and assessment charges

• Student Union dues

• Sports fees

• Laboratory or practical fees (for sciences)

• ID Card (for freshers)

Some departments may include additional fees for faculty registration or fieldwork. So always check your department notice board—or better still, your departmental WhatsApp group where everything (and sometimes gossip) drops.

How to Pay Like a Smart Student

Don’t get scammed. Here’s the legit process:

1. Go to the FUWUKARI portal

2. Login with your credentials

3. Generate Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) for school or hostel fees

4. Pay online or at an approved bank

5. Print your payment receipt and keep multiple copies

6. Upload it if required and submit at your faculty office

Always use only official channels. If someone says “I can help you pay sharp sharp”—run. Don’t let your fees end up in someone’s party budget.

What Happens If You Don’t Pay On Time?

Short answer: trouble.

• If you delay acceptance fee, your admission might be withdrawn.

• If you delay school fee, you won’t be able to register for courses or print your exam slip.

• If you delay hostel fee, you’ll have to start house hunting in Wukari town, and trust me, it’s not fun.

So make payment priority number one.

Is FUWUKARI Worth the Money?

Absolutely!

Here’s why:

• Affordable fees (especially when compared to private universities)

• Beautiful, developing campus in a calm part of Taraba

• Standard academic calendar (no endless strikes like some notorious schools)

• Tech-enabled learning—students have access to online resources

• Increasing reputation among federal institutions

Basically, for the price you pay, you’re getting solid value—and the chance to walk away after four or five years with a well-respected degree.

Final Advice: Don’t Wait Until They Block You from the Portal

Look, school life is sweet—but only when you don’t have fee-related headaches. If you plan well, talk to your parents or sponsor early, and budget smartly, you’ll breeze through registration without breaking a sweat.

Here’s a quick summary for freshers:

Returning students will generally pay less than freshers, depending on department.
