UNILAG Payment by Installment Rules
Not every student in the University of Lagos (UNILAG) can pay the full school fees at once, so the management introduced a flexible method that gives students the chance to pay by installment.
The first payment has to cover 50% of the session school fees and 100% of the compulsory charges by UNILAG.
The Second Installment of 20% must be paid before the examination
The third instalment must be made before the end of the second semester course registration.
Note: The generated remita used for the first payment is always valid and can still be used for the other payments.
