College of Education Warri School Fees 2026/2027 | The Complete Fee Schedule

College of Education, Warri School Fees 2026/2027: Are you planning to resume at “COE Warri”? Located in the commercial hub of Delta State, the College of Education, Warri is a top choice for students who want to become certified teachers without breaking the bank.

One thing you must know immediately: COE Warri runs both NCE and Degree programs.

• NCE: You graduate with a National Certificate in Education (3 years).

• Degree: You graduate with a B.Sc. (Ed) or B.A. (Ed) because the school is affiliated with Delta State University (DELSU), University of Benin (UNIBEN), and recently Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE).

The fees for these two categories are different. A Degree student pays more than an NCE student.

This guide details the projected school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, distinguishing between Indigenes (Deltans) and Non-Indigenes, and explaining the portal payment system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is COE Warri the same as DELSU? No. COE Warri is a College of Education. However, it runs DELSU degree programs. This means you study at the Warri campus, but your certificate will come from DELSU (or UNIBEN/IAUE, depending on your admission).

2. Can I pay in installments? Officially, the college requires full payment. However, in previous sessions, the Student Union Government (SUG) has sometimes negotiated 60/40 installment plans for students. You should confirm the status of this from the Bursary when you resume.

3. Is the Acceptance Fee part of the School Fee? No. They are separate. The acceptance fee is for “accepting the admission.” School Fee is for “tuition.” You must pay Acceptance before the portal allows you to pay School Fees.
