In a recent communication, the Registrar of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Rumuolumeni, conveyed some key points regarding the tuition and other related fees for the academic year 2023/2024. This guide elucidates these points to help students understand the fee structure and any policy changes that have been introduced.
Key Announcements
- The Registrar has informed all returning students from Years 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 that there is no fee increment for the 2023/2024 academic year when compared to the 2022/2023 session.
- There is a part-payment policy endorsed by the Vice-Chancellor which remains unchanged. Under this, students have the flexibility to split their payment: they can opt to cover 50% of the total fee in the first semester, and the remaining 50% in the second semester. This facilitates an easier fee payment process, especially for those who might find a one-time payment challenging.
- However, it’s vital to note that all new admissions, or the fresh students, are required to settle their tuition fees in full before matriculation.
