BMU Acceptance Fee for 2025/2026
All newly admitted students, whether they gained admission through UTME or direct entry, are required to pay a non refundable acceptance fee before completing their registration.
For the 2025/2026 academic session, the acceptance fee at BMU is N50,000 (fifty thousand naira only).
This amount applies to both UTME and Direct Entry candidates. It is important to understand that this fee is separate from the tuition fee and must be paid first as a confirmation of your acceptance of the admission offer.
Failure to pay the acceptance fee by the stipulated deadline may result in the forfeiture of your admission slot.
BMU Hostel Accommodation Fee 2025/2026
BMU provides on campus hostel accommodation for students who prefer or require it. Hostel accommodation is optional, meaning students who choose to live off campus are not obligated to pay this fee.

This fee covers your bed space and basic hostel maintenance for the academic year. Given the relative cost of private accommodation in Yenagoa, many students find it practical to take advantage of the university's on campus housing, especially in their early years.
