Federal Polytechnic Bali School Fees 2026/2027: The Complete Fee Schedule

Federal Polytechnic Bali School Fees 2026/2027: Are you planning to resume at Federal Polytechnic Bali? Located in the serene environment of the Bali Local Government Area in Taraba State, this institution is one of the “hidden gems” of the North-East.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I pay my school fees in instalments? Officially, Federal Polytechnics usually require full payment to enable course registration. However, depending on the Student Union negotiation for that session, a 60/40 split (pay 60% in 1st Semester and 40% in 2nd Semester) might be allowed. You must confirm this at the Bursary upon resumption.

2. Is the Acceptance Fee refundable? No. The Acceptance Fee is strictly non-refundable.

3. What happens if I pay late? Late payment usually attracts a penalty fee of ₦5,000. Furthermore, without your fee receipt, you cannot sign your “Course Form,” which means you cannot write exams.
