Delta State Polytechnic Ogwashi-Uku School Fees 2026/2027: The Complete Fee Schedule

Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku School Fees 2026/2027: Are you planning to resume at the “Big Heart” Polytechnic? Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku (DSPG) is one of the most popular state-owned institutions in the South-South. Located just a few kilometers from the state capital, Asaba, it is a hub for Fashion Design, Engineering, and Arts. Unlike Federal polytechnics, where fees are uniform, DSPG is a State Polytechnic. This means the fee structure is slightly higher and varies significantly depending on two major factors:

1. Indigene Status: Are you from Delta State? If yes, you pay a subsidized rate. Non-indigenes pay a higher “differential.”

2. Programme Mode: Full-Time students pay differently from Part-Time (SPAT) students.

This guide details the projected school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, breaking down the costs for ND and HND students, the critical acceptance fee, and the correct portal to use.

Estimated Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku School Fees for 2026/2027 Session

1. Acceptance Fee (Freshers Only)

Before you pay your main tuition, you must secure your admission. This is the most critical payment because DSPG is strict with deadlines. If you miss the window (usually 2 weeks), the system may revoke your admission.

• Confirmed Trend: In the 2024/2025 session, the Acceptance Fee was officially ₦46,000.

• Projected Amount (2026/2027): ₦46,000 – ₦50,000.

• Status: Strictly Non-Refundable.

• Note: You will need to generate a specific RRR for this payment on the portal. Do not pay cash to any agent.

2. Tuition & Registration Fees Breakdown (2026/2027 Projection)

Fees at DSPG are generally divided into Tuition, Development Levies, and Ancillary Charges.

  • Projected Total: ₦65,000 – ₦75,000.

  • Breakdown: The extra cost is the “Non-Indigene Differential” levy.

HND students typically pay slightly higher fees due to advanced practical requirements.

3. The “Hidden” Charges (Budget for These)

The fee listed on your portal invoice is the main bulk, but to settle down fully in Ogwashi-Uku, you must budget for these ancillary costs:

Fee Type	Estimated Amount	Purpose
Departmental Dues	₦3,000 – ₦5,000	Paid to your department (e.g., Mass Comm, SLT).
SUG Dues	₦2,000	Student Union Government levy.
Medical Registration	₦5,000	Mandatory health screening file opening.
Matriculation Fee	₦2,000	Paid online for your gown collection.

4. Accommodation (Ogwashi-Uku Living)

While the polytechnic has some hostel facilities, the vast majority of students live off-campus in the surrounding communities.

• Off-Campus (Poly Road / Azagba):

  • Most students live in lodges along the road leading to the school or in the Azagba community.

  • Single Room: ₦50,000 – ₦80,000 per year.

  • Self-Contained: ₦120,000 – ₦200,000 per year.

  • Tip: Houses closer to the school gate are more expensive. Moving slightly into the town can save you money, but you will spend more on “Keke” (tricycle) transport.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is there a specific deadline for payment? Yes. DSPG usually enforces a “No School Fees, No Exam” policy. It is best to pay at least 60% of your fees before the First Semester exams begin to avoid embarrassment at the exam hall.

2. Can I change my State of Origin to Delta to pay less? Only if you can legally prove it. The screening officers are very experienced; they will ask for your LGA Certificate and may even ask you questions about your claimed village. If caught with a fake certificate, you could face expulsion.

3. Is the Acceptance Fee refundable? No. Once paid, the ₦46,000+ Acceptance Fee is gone. If you gain admission to a university later, you cannot get this money back.
