Hello there, future TASUEDite—or maybe you're a curious parent, a concerned elder sibling, or just someone considering where to send that JAMB score. Either way, welcome!

Now, I know what brought you here: you're trying to figure out how much it really costs to study at Tai Solarin University of Education (a.k.a TASUED) in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State. You’ve probably heard people say things like, “TASUED is one of the most affordable universities in Nigeria,” and now you want the hard numbers. Well, you’re in luck, because in this post, we’re diving deep into the acceptance fee, school fees, payment structure, and a few life-saving tips to keep your pockets from crying during your academic journey.

Ready? Grab a chilled bottle of water (or zobo, I don’t judge), and let’s explore the world of TASUED school fees.

First Things First: What is TASUED?

For those who are completely new to the name, Tai Solarin University of Education is a public university located in Ijagun, near Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State. It's Nigeria’s premier university of education—the first of its kind to be established in the country with the goal of combining academic and vocational training for teachers. So, yes, if you’re heading there, you’re not just attending any university—you’re walking into a citadel of teacher-making excellence.

The Dreaded Yet Necessary: TASUED Acceptance Fee

Let’s be honest: after seeing your name on the admission list, that excitement starts to settle into anxiety when you remember—you have to pay something first to secure that slot. That “something” is the acceptance fee.

So how much is the acceptance fee at TASUED?
As of the most recent update, the acceptance fee is ₦50,000. Yes, fifty thousand naira only. Not ₦5,000, not ₦15,000. It’s ₦50K.

Now, I know you’re probably sighing or calculating how many cups of garri that could buy in this economy, but don’t panic yet. The acceptance fee is a one-time payment, and it’s proof that you’ve accepted the admission offer from TASUED. Think of it as your “entry ticket” to the university life ahead.

Deadline Warning!
TASUED usually gives a deadline for payment. If you snooze, you lose. Delay in payment can make you lose your admission slot, and believe me, it’s not a feeling you want to experience. So, if you’ve been admitted, pay that ₦50,000 as soon as you can.

School Fees: How Much Will TASUED Collect Every Year?

Now, let’s move on to the more permanent resident in your budget: school fees. Unlike the acceptance fee that’s a one-time emotional shock, school fees come back every session to say hello.

But good news! TASUED’s fees are pretty reasonable compared to many federal or private universities.

Here’s a breakdown for undergraduate students:

1. Fresh Students (100 Level & Direct Entry)

For newly admitted students in any department, the school fees range between:

• ₦76,500 to ₦100,500 depending on your course of study.

The fee usually includes:

• Tuition fee

• Medicals

• ICT fees

• Library

• Examination fee

• Departmental charges

• Development levy (you know they must build new hostels and fix broken benches, right?)

For example:

• Science-based students like Chemistry, Biology, Physics pay around ₦100,500.

• Education/Arts students pay a bit less, around ₦76,500–₦86,500.

So basically, the more “lab work” your course requires, the more the fees climb.

2. Returning Students (200 Level and above)

Once you’ve survived 100 level and all the orientation stress, the fees drop a little. TASUED is kind enough not to keep charging you like you’re new.

• Returning students typically pay between ₦66,500 to ₦76,500 depending on their department and level.

Payment Methods: How Do You Pay These Fees?

TASUED doesn’t do cash payments. Everything goes digital—thankfully!

Here’s how to make your payments:

1. Log in to the official TASUED portal.

2. Navigate to the “Student Payment” section.

3. Select the correct academic session and level.

4. Generate your RRR (Remita Retrieval Reference).

5. Take it to the bank or pay online with a debit card.

Please, don’t pay through a random “guy” in a cybercafé who promises to give you a receipt for ₦2,000 less. If you lose your money, the university will not look at you with pity.

Hidden Charges? Let's Talk

Ah yes, the mysterious other fees that don’t show up until you’re knee-deep into registration.

These may include:

• Hostel fees (if you’re staying on campus): around ₦40,000–₦50,000 per session.

• Faculty or Departmental dues: ₦2,000–₦5,000 depending on your course.

• Student Union fees: because you must contribute to campus democracy.

• Matriculation gown rental: ₦1,000–₦2,000.

Altogether, budget an extra ₦10,000–₦15,000 on top of your main school fees to cover these.

Tips to Avoid Heartbreak and Broke Days at TASUED

Here are a few pro-tips (from someone who’s seen people cry real tears):

1. Pay Early

The earlier you pay your fees, the smoother your registration. TASUED doesn’t joke with deadlines. Don’t be that student begging lecturers or the ICT department when the portal closes.

2. Use a Verified Cyber Café

If you don’t have a laptop, go to the accredited cafés on campus or close to it. They know the TASUED system well and can help you avoid mistakes.

3. Keep Receipts Like Your Life Depends on It

Print, screenshot, and save receipts in your email. You never know when you’ll need to prove you paid something.

4. Prepare for Additional Costs

Books, printing, class dues, and even some “group contributions” can quietly drain your allowance. Have an emergency fund, even if it’s ₦1,000 hidden somewhere.

Final Thoughts: Is TASUED Worth It?

Absolutely. For a university that focuses on practical teacher training, TASUED has carved a niche for itself. The school fees may seem high at first glance, especially if you’re coming from a humble background, but in comparison with private institutions, TASUED is a fair bargain.

Plus, the learning environment is peaceful (Ijebu-Ode is not Lagos, my friend), and the facilities are constantly being upgraded. If you stay focused, keep your fees paid, and avoid unnecessary distractions (like falling in love during first semester), you’ll graduate in one piece—and proud.
