The only exception is computer science, which is pegged at ₦150,000 per session, reflecting the additional resources and infrastructure required for the programme. These fees cover both the first and second semesters within the same academic year.
KOMU Acceptance Fee 2025/2026
The acceptance fee of ₦50,000 is a mandatory one time payment that all newly admitted students must pay upon receiving their provisional admission letter.Â
It serves as formal confirmation that the student accepts the offer of admission extended by the university through JAMB's Central Admission Processing System (CAPS).
This fee is uniform across all programmes and is paid only once, during the student's first year of admission. It is not charged again in subsequent academic sessions.
Students are strongly advised to pay this fee promptly after confirming their admission, as delays could jeopardise their admission status.
Summary of Total Fees Payable by Fresh Students
To give prospective students a clearer picture of the total financial commitment expected in their first year at KOMU, the table below summarises all the known charges for fresh (100 level) students:
Fee Type | Amount (₦) |
|---|---|
Acceptance Fee (one time) | 50,000 |
Tuition Fee – Most Programmes | 120,000 |
Tuition Fee – Computer Science | 150,000 |
Note: Additional charges may apply for hostel accommodation and other student services. Students are advised to confirm all fees with the university's bursary department or official student portal before making any payments.
Tuition Fee for Returning Students
Returning students at KOMU are also expected to pay the standard tuition fee for each academic session.
Based on available information, returning students pay the same annual tuition rates as fresh students, which means the following:
Most programmes: ₦120,000 per session
Computer Science: ₦150,000 per session
Unlike fresh students, returning students are not required to pay the acceptance fee again, as this is a single charge.
Returning students should ensure they settle their tuition fee before the deadline published by the university for each session to avoid being barred from course registration and end of semester examinations.
Hostel and Accommodation Fees at KOMU
KOMU provides campus hostel accommodation for students who wish to live within the university premises. The serene campus environment in Ogboko makes campus accommodation a popular option among students who prefer to stay close to academic facilities.
Hostel accommodation fees are charged separately from tuition and vary depending on the type of room and facility.
Students interested in campus accommodation are advised to contact the university's accommodation unit or check the official KOMU student portal for the current hostel fee rates for the 2025/2026 session, as these amounts are updated periodically and may vary between sessions.
Off campus accommodation is also available in communities surrounding the university, which may offer more flexible and sometimes more affordable options for students, particularly returning students in higher levels.
KOMU School Fees Payment Procedure
Understanding how to pay your fees correctly is just as important as knowing the amount. KOMU has outlined a structured payment process that all students, both fresh and returning, must follow. Below is the detailed guide:
Visit the official KOMU student portal through the university's website at komu.edu.ng. All fee payments are initiated from the student portal.
Generate your payment invoice or Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) from the portal. This is unique to each student and session.
Proceed to make payment using your RRR at any approved bank or through the Remita online payment platform. KOMU does not accept cash payments made directly to individuals.
After payment, return to the student portal to confirm or upload your payment receipt. This step is necessary to activate your registration status for the session.
Once your payment is confirmed, you can proceed to register your courses for the semester through the school's online registration system.
