Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I pay FUOTUOKE school fees in installments? A: Historically, FUOTUOKE requires full payment of fees at the start of the session. However, you should check the portal dashboard upon resumption to see if a 60/40 semester payment option has been enabled for 2026/2027.

Q: Is the acceptance fee part of the school fees? A: No. The N50,000 Acceptance Fee is a separate, non-refundable payment made before you pay your main school fees.

Q: What happens if I don’t pay on time? A: The portal usually has a deadline for payment (typically 3-4 weeks after resumption). Late payment attracts a Late Registration Fee, and failure to pay before the portal closes may lead to a “Voluntary Withdrawal” for the session.
