Visit the official UAT student portal at my.uat.edu.ng.

Consequences of Late Fee Payment
The university management has repeatedly warned students about the consequences of failing to pay school fees on time.
Late payment of UAT school fees for the 2025/2026 academic session may result in any of the following:
Additional financial charges or surcharges on the outstanding fees
Inability to sit for semester examinations
Barring from course and programme registration for the academic session
Forfeiture of admission for newly admitted students who fail to pay within the stipulated period
The school fees payment portal may also be shut down by management after the deadline period, making it impossible to pay without going through a more complicated resolution process.
All students are therefore advised to pay their fees in full before the commencement of the first semester examinations.
