MAPOLY School Fees 2026/2027 | The Complete Fee Schedule

MAPOLY School Fees 2026/2027: Are you planning to resume at “MAPOLY”? Located in the rocky and historic city of Abeokuta, Moshood Abiola Polytechnic is a household name in Southwest Nigeria. Formerly known as Ogun State Polytechnic, it is one of the most vibrant institutions in the region, famous for its Mass Communication and Business programs. However, MAPOLY is also known for having a fee structure that is slightly higher than the average Federal Polytechnic. Because it is a State Government institution (owned by Ogun State), it relies heavily on Internally Generated Revenue (IGR). This means fees can be dynamic.

This guide details the projected school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, breaking down the costs for ND and HND students (Science vs. Non-Science), the flexible payment plans available, and the reality of living in the Ojere area.

Estimated MAPOLY School Fees for 2026/2027 Session

1.  Acceptance Fee (Freshers Only)

Before you pay your main tuition, you must secure your admission. MAPOLY is strict with this deadline. Once your name appears on the admission list, you are required to pay a non-refundable Acceptance Fee.

• Projected Amount: ₦35,500 – ₦40,000.

• Status: Strictly Non-Refundable.

• Deadline: Usually 2 weeks after the admission list is released.

• Warning: If you do not pay this fee within the stipulated time, the portal often automatically revokes your admission to offer the slot to another candidate.

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

MAPOLY fees are generally segmented by Program Type (Science/Technology vs. Non-Science/Management).

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

The tuition fee covers most academic costs, but to settle down fully in Abeokuta, you must budget for these ancillary charges:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is there a difference between Indigene and Non-Indigene fees? Historically, yes, but in recent years, the gap has closed significantly, or the fee is uniform for “Tuition” with only slight differences in administrative levies. However, Indigenes of Ogun State may be eligible for State Bursaries, which can help offset costs.

2. What happens if I pay late? MAPOLY enforces a penalty fee for late registration (usually ₦5,000 – ₦10,000). More importantly, the portal closes “Part Payment” options towards the exam period, forcing you to pay 100% if you delay too long.

3. Is the Acceptance Fee part of the School Fees? No. The ₦35,500 Acceptance Fee is completely separate. It is a one-time payment to claim your admission slot. Your school fee is paid after you have accepted admission.
