Yobe State University School Fees For Indigenes in 2025
FAQs
What is the expected range of undergraduate school fees for indigenes for the 2025/2026 academic session at YSU?
While explicit figures solely for indigenes are not always separately published, recent data for the 2025/2026 session indicate that undergraduate fees at YSU range between ₦39,250 and ₦52,250 for new students, and between ₦36,250 and ₦49,250 for returning students, depending on faculty and programme. Since these are general fees, indigenes may benefit from the lowest end of these ranges or possible internal reductions, though this is not formally delineated.
Does the fee for indigenes differ from the fee set for non‑indigenes at YSU?
Yes. There is a distinction made between tuition and other fees for non‑indigenes that suggests that indigenes pay less, though specific “indigene‑only” rates are not always fully detailed. For example, one source indicates non‑indigene tuition for science/arts in earlier sessions at ₦30,000, for law ₦35,000, for the medical college ₦45,000. The implication is that indigenes would have lower fees, although the exact discounted amount is not clearly published in the publicly available schedule for 2025.
What additional charges should indigenes plan for beyond the core tuition/fee figures at YSU for 2025?
Indigenous students (like all students) should plan for ancillary/compulsory charges such as registration, examination, library, medical, identity card, ICT, utility, departmental registration, caution deposit, etc. For the 2024/2025 session these added charges were already itemised: for example, for social sciences/arts/education fresh students: registration ₦16,000; examination ₦2,000; library ₦2,000; medical ₦3,000; ICT ₦3,500; and more — totalling around ₦39,250 just for the base parts.Also, accommodation (on‑campus housing) and late‐registration fees (e.g., ₦5,000) may apply. Therefore indigenes should budget for both the headline fee and these additional fixed/variable components.
When and how should indigenes pay the school fees at YSU to avoid penalties?
Indigenes (and all students) should ensure payment of the fees before the deadline set by the university. Failure to pay on time may lead to penalties such as a late registration fee. One source indicates that late registration attracts an extra charge of ₦5,000. Students should check the official YSU portal for the current fee schedule and payment guidelines. The university’s website also signals that the fee schedule may be updated and encourages students to verify before payment.
