Lagos State University Of Education (Lasued), Ijanikin (2025/2026 Session) Acceptance Fee And School Fees

When the admission letter from LASUED finally lands in your email—or when JAMB updates your CAPS status to "ADMITTED"—you feel like shouting, “Mama, I made it!” After all, getting into a state university these days is no small feat. But wait o, before you start pricing new outfits for matriculation or dreaming of fresh hostel gist, there’s one bitter-sweet pill you must swallow: acceptance fee and school fees.

In this post, we’re diving deep into the financial side of schooling at Lagos State University of Education (LASUED), Ijanikin. Whether you're a fresh student, a returning student, or a concerned parent trying to make sense of these fees, I’ve got you covered.

Let’s break it all down—without the headache.

So, What Exactly Is This Acceptance Fee?

First, let’s clear the air.

The acceptance fee is not the same as school fees. I repeat: it is not school fees.

It is the money you pay to confirm that, yes, you truly want that admission and you're not just catching cruise with LASUED. Think of it as saying “I do” after being proposed to. Without it, the school won't even open its doors to you.

For LASUED, the acceptance fee is typically around ₦15,000 for freshers.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Just to accept admission?” Yes o! That’s the system we’ve inherited. This money is non-refundable and must be paid before you start anything serious like clearance, biometrics, or course registration. If you miss the deadline, you might lose your slot. And no, begging the ICT office won’t work.

LASUED School Fees Breakdown

Now to the main event: school fees.

LASUED isn’t trying to rob anybody, but let's be honest—state universities have bills to pay. Light bills, lecturer salaries, building maintenance, and maybe one or two unending ‘renovations’. So they’ll need students to contribute their quota.

Generally, the school fees at LASUED vary depending on your faculty, department, and level (100, 200, etc.). But let’s give you an estimated breakdown.

1. Freshers (100 Level Students)

For fresh students, here’s a typical breakdown of the school fees:

Again, the final amount depends on your faculty. Courses like Education Arts might pay less than Education Science or Education & Technology students. So, if you're studying something like Education Physics or Biology, prepare for a little extra.

2. Returning Students (200 Level and Above)

Good news! Returning students don’t pay acceptance fees again. Phew.

Their school fees usually fall within:

• ₦70,000 – ₦90,000 per session depending on department.

Some charges like identity card, matriculation gown, or caution fee may no longer appear in returning students' invoices, which helps reduce the burden.

But don’t relax too much. Some departments may still throw in surprise charges, like practical fees for science-based courses or teaching practice for education students. So be vigilant.

Does LASUED Allow Payment by Installments?

Short answer: Not officially.

LASUED likes its money in one go. However, some departments may unofficially allow you to pay half and complete later—emphasis on unofficial. If you can’t afford the full fees at once, it’s better to approach your department’s admin officer and plead your case early. Don’t wait till the deadline and expect magic.

Also, note that you can’t write exams or complete your course registration unless your school fees are paid in full. So if you're thinking, “Let me just hustle small first,” be ready to hustle fast.

How to Pay LASUED Fees Without Falling into Scam

One word: Portal.

Always make your payment through the school’s official student portal. Don't pay to individuals or even those "cyber café guys" who say, “Just give me the cash, I’ll help you do it.” That's how you’ll end up crying in front of the bursar.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the official LASUED portal.

2. Generate a payment invoice.

3. Proceed to pay via Remita or any approved payment platform.

4. Print your receipt and keep it safe like your birth certificate.

No receipt, no proof. No proof, no access.

Other Costs You Should Budget For

Let’s be realistic. Acceptance and school fees are just the tip of the iceberg. Once you resume, you’ll also need to spend on:

• Accommodation (whether hostel or off-campus)

• Textbooks and course materials

• Departmental and faculty dues

• Feeding and transportation

• WiFi or data (yes, those Zoom classes won't fund themselves)

So when you’re budgeting, don’t focus only on the ₦100k+ school fees. Your monthly expenses will determine whether you live like a baller or like someone waiting for their next allowance from home.

Final Thoughts: Don’t Let School Fees Shock You

Entering university is exciting, but the money part can give you a mild headache if you’re not prepared. LASUED is not the most expensive, but it’s also not cheap-cheap.

My honest advice? Start planning early. Whether you're depending on your parents, your hustle, or scholarship, don’t wait till resumption week before thinking of how to pay.

And if you're already admitted—congrats again! Just don’t forget that accepting the admission means accepting the expenses that come with it.
