FUTO School Fees 2025/2026 Academic Session (Freshers and Returning Students): If you’re planning to study at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO), or you just got admission there, I want to share something that will really help you. Before resuming school, it’s good to have an idea of how much FUTO school fees cost for the 2025/2026 academic session. Knowing this on time will help you plan well and avoid last-minute stress when school activities kick off.
I have always said that FUTO is one of the best technology universities in Nigeria. The good thing is that their tuition is still quite affordable compared to what you’ll find in some other federal universities offering similar programs. The school fees are not the same for everyone; it depends on your department and level. So, in this post, I’ll guide you through what freshers, returning students, and final-year students are expected to pay based on the last session’s payment structure.
FUTO School Fees for 100 Level (Freshers) 2025/2026
Let’s stay, for example, you just gained admission into FUTO — here’s what you should expect to pay as a fresher, using the previous session’s breakdown:
- Medicine & Surgery – ₦572,400
- Human Anatomy / Physiology – ₦236,400
- All Departments in the School of Health – ₦192,000
- Geology, Architecture – ₦186,000
- All Engineering Departments – ₦180,000
- Other Departments not listed above – ₦180,000
These payments usually include everything — registration, ICT, faculty dues, and development levies. If I were you, I would start planning early for these fees so that once school resumes, things will move smoothly without delay.
FUTO School Fees for Returning Students (200–400 Level)
Now, for those who are already in 200 to 400 level, the amount is usually a bit lower compared to what freshers pay. I will share the breakdown as it was last session:
- Human Anatomy / Physiology – ₦179,400
- Departments in School of Health – ₦135,000
- All Other Departments – ₦123,000
Returning students should make their payments early to avoid penalties for late registration. I’ve seen cases where students couldn’t register for courses because of unpaid fees. So, once you make your payment, print out your receipt and keep it safe for clearance or exams.
FUTO School Fees for Final Year Students
For final-year students, there are usually small adjustments to cover project supervision and graduation charges. Based on the last record, here’s how much it was:
- Departments in School of Health – ₦138,000
- Other Departments – ₦126,000
If you’re in final year, I’ll advise you to pay off your fees early. That way, you won’t face any hold-up when it’s time for project clearance or graduation processes.
Other Important Fees in FUTO
Besides the normal school fees, there are other compulsory payments that you should take note of:
- Acceptance Fee: ₦40,000 (for freshers only)
- Hostel Accommodation Fee: ₦25,000 – ₦40,000 (depending on the hostel)
The acceptance fee is like confirming your admission. Once you see your name on the FUTO or JAMB portal, I’ll advise you to pay it quickly. It’s what secures your admission slot officially.
How to Pay FUTO School Fees Online
I have gone through FUTO’s online payment process, and it’s quite easy once you follow the right steps. Here’s how it works:
- Visit the FUTO student portal
- Log in with your JAMB Registration Number (for freshers) or Matric Number (for old students).
- Go to the “School Fees” tab on your dashboard.
- Generate an invoice using your correct details.
- Pay online through Remita or at any approved bank.
- Print your receipt immediately after payment.
Never pay school fees through anyone claiming to represent FUTO. All transactions should be done only through the university’s official platform and after payment in make sure your official receipt is printed, this will be an evidence that you have paid for the FUTO school fees for that academic session.
Tips for Freshers Preparing to Resume at FUTO
Starting life in FUTO can be exciting, but it’s also a big adjustment. From what I’ve seen and experienced, here are some tips that can make things easier:
Plan your budget early: Think beyond just tuition — feeding, books, transport, and accommodation all matter.
Get your documents ready: Print your JAMB result, admission letter, and payment receipts before clearance.
Pay on time: Delaying payments can cause unnecessary issues during registration.
Apply for hostel early: Hostel slots fill up quickly, so apply as soon as it opens.
Stay updated: Always check departmental notice boards or reliable student blogs for FUTO updates.
Visit FUTO’s Official Website for Updates
I will also advise every student, especially new ones, to make a habit of visiting FUTO’s official website frequently. That’s where you’ll see all authentic information about school fees, acceptance fee, accommodation, and other important notices. Sometimes, the management may review or adjust certain payments, so checking their website will keep you up to date and help you avoid mistakes.
