Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is the Bingham University school fee paid per semester? The fees quoted are per session (per year). However, because of the 50/50 payment policy, you effectively pay half of the amount each semester.

2. Are the fees refundable if I withdraw? Generally, no. The Acceptance Fee is strictly non-refundable. Tuition refunds are rare and usually only considered if a student withdraws before matriculation, subject to a significant administrative deduction (10-20%).

3. Does the fee cover feeding? No. Feeding is “Pay-As-You-Eat.” There are cafeterias on campus where students buy food daily. Students are not allowed to cook in the hostels for safety reasons.

4. How do I pay? All payments must be made through the Bingham University Portal using Remita.

• Warning: Do not transfer school fees to a personal bank account. Always generate an RRR (Remita Retrieval Reference) through the school portal and pay at a bank or using your banking app.
