UNIOSUN Management's Decision Concerning Payment Of Fees

The University of Osun (UNIOSUN) in a press
conference held recently in order to correct some
rumours on the increase of school fees and
financial position of the university stated as
follows;
That Osun State University, being a public
institution, is financed from grants from the State
Government and she also heavily relies on school
fees from its students and other internally
generated revenues.

It would be recalled that the State Government
under the leadership of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola,
when he came on board, reduced the school fees.
I wish to confirm that the University has not
increased its school fees despite the economic
recession. The University remains one of the few
State owned institutions that charge modest fees.
In all matters concerning our students, their
interests remain our paramount consideration.
Meanwhile, I wish to let the public know the
current amount being charged since 2011:
Programmes Amount per session Freshers
Science N100,000.00 N110,000
Law (including Nursing Science) N125,000.00
N135,000
Non-Science N95,000.00 N105,000
Acceptance fee – N40,000
Admission Checker – N2,000
Medical Fee – N15,000
Matriculation fee – N5,000
Late registration fee is N10,000 per semester
From the table above, it can be seen that the
highest school fee for staylite is one hundred and
twenty five thousand naira (N125,000.00) in a
session for law and nursing science students;
whereas there are some private secondary
schools in Osun State that charge about
N150,000 and above per term.
It is, however, disheartening to note that the
University has discovered that despite the fact
that the University operates an enviable stable
academic calendar, mobilizes its graduating
students Youth Service without delay, many of
our students still owe school fees running to two
billion naira.
If this trend continues, there is no way the
University could perform its financial
responsibilities.
Henceforth, Senate at its meeting has approved
the implementation of the following guidelines:
(i) that all students who fail to register will no
longer be allowed into lecture rooms and will not
be allowed to write examination;
(ii) that only students who fulfil the requirement
would be allowed to write examination;
(iii) that the policy of 70% attendance at lectures
for students will be strictly enforced;
(iv) that new students are to pay school fees in
full and on time for retention of their studentship;
(v) that names of defaulters will be published
soon.
All parents and guardians are hereby advised to
warn their children and wards to pay their fees on
time and not to divert their school fees to other
areas.
