Grace Polytechnic School Fees 2026/2027 | The Complete Fee Schedule

Grace Polytechnic School Fees 2026/2027: Are you planning to resume at “Grace Poly”? As one of the very first private polytechnics established in Nigeria (dating back to 1999), Grace Polytechnic is a household name in Lagos.

However, before you apply, you must understand the “Two-Campus System.” Grace Poly operates two distinct campuses:

1. Surulere Campus: Located in the heart of Lagos (Off James Robertson). This is strictly for students who want the “City Life” and usually commute from home.

2. Omu Campus (Main Campus): Located in Omu-Ejirin (Epe Division). This is a residential campus where hostel accommodation is largely compulsory.

Your school fees will vary significantly depending on which campus you choose. The Omu campus is generally cheaper in terms of tuition but requires hostel fees, while the Surulere campus offers flexibility but often has slightly higher administrative charges.

This guide details the projected school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, breaking down the costs for ND and HND, the compulsory hostel policy at Omu, and the correct portal to use.
