Hussaini Adamu Federal Polytechnic School Fees 2026/2027 | The Complete Fee Schedule

Hussaini Adamu Federal Polytechnic School Fees 2026/2027: Are you planning to resume at the “Home of Technical Excellence” in Kazaure? Hussaini Adamu Federal Polytechnic (HAFEDPOLY) is one of the most respected federal institutions in Northern Nigeria. It is known for its affordable education and peaceful academic environment. However, many students are often confused by the fee structure because the online data is mixed with outdated figures (like the old ₦2,000 acceptance fee). Here is the reality: In recent sessions (2024/2025), the fee structure was reviewed upwards. The acceptance fee alone is now significantly higher than what many blogs claim.

This guide details the projected school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, breaking down the costs for ND and HND students, the new acceptance fee rates, and the “hidden” ancillary charges you must budget for.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I pay my school fees in installments? Officially, Federal Polytechnics usually require full payment to enable course registration. However, students facing difficulties are sometimes allowed to pay per semester (60% 1st Semester, 40% 2nd Semester). You must confirm if this waiver is active at the Bursary upon resumption.

2. Is the Acceptance Fee refundable? No. The Acceptance Fee (approx ₦40,000) is strictly non-refundable.

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