Frequently asked questions

How much is UI school fees for 2026/2027?

UI’s last published fee schedule is reproduced below. Confirm the 2026/2027 figures on the school portal before paying — fees are reviewed almost every session.

Do returning students pay the same as fresh students at UI?

No. Returning students do not pay the acceptance fee or one-off charges like matriculation and medical screening, so their total is usually noticeably lower.

Can I pay UI school fees in instalments?

Many Nigerian institutions allow two instalments, usually with a deadline before examinations. Check the payment page on the UI portal; instalment rules are set by the school’s management each session.

What happens if I pay UI school fees late?

Late payment usually attracts a penalty and can block course registration or exam eligibility. Pay before the deadline announced on the portal.

Where do I check the official UI fee schedule?

On the UI portal after admission acceptance, or on the official website (ui.edu.ng). Avoid paying based on figures from social media.
