Trinity Polytechnic Uyo School Fees 2026/2027 | The Complete Fee Schedule

Trinity Polytechnic Uyo School Fees 2026/2027: Are you planning to resume at “Trinity Poly”? Located along Mbak/Ifa Road, off Airport Road, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Trinity Polytechnic is a popular private institution.

First, let’s clear up a major confusion: Trinity Polytechnic is NOT Trinity University.

• Trinity University: A private university in Lagos with fees in the millions.

• Trinity Polytechnic: A private polytechnic in Uyo with much more affordable fees.

• If you are looking for the university, this guide is not for you. This guide is strictly for the polytechnic in Akwa Ibom.

Trinity Polytechnic is known for being one of the most affordable private polytechnics in the South-South region. It offers a disruption-free academic calendar, meaning you won’t face the ASUP strikes common with government schools.

This guide details the projected school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, breaking down the costs for ND and HND students, the acceptance fee, and the accommodation fee.
