FUBK School Fees & Acceptance Fee

School fees differ by faculty (e.g. Medicine/Law/Engineering typically cost more than Arts/Social Sciences) and by student category (fresh vs. returning, indigene vs. non-indigene where applicable). Because fees are reviewed periodically, always verify the exact current amount on the FUBK student portal before making any payment. Never pay into a personal account — only pay through the official portal's generated invoice/RRR.

Admission List, Clearance & Resumption

• Checking Admission Status: Log in to the admission portal with your JAMB registration number to check your admission status once JAMB releases the institution's admission list for 2026/2027.
• Acceptance Fee: Pay the acceptance fee online immediately after your admission is confirmed to secure your slot.
• Clearance: Bring original copies of your O'Level result(s), JAMB result slip, Post-UTME slip, birth certificate/age declaration, and local government identification for physical/document verification.
• Resumption Date: New-student resumption dates for 2026/2027 are announced on the school's official website/portal — check there for the exact date rather than relying on unofficial sources.
