Nursing Science students at the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) can plan for about ₦107,000 to ₦150,000 as fresh students and about ₦48,000 to ₦100,000 as returning students, plus a one-time acceptance fee of up to ₦50,000. These are planning estimates. FUOYE’s publicly available fee lists do not show a separate row for Nursing Science, so the exact amount for each student appears on the invoice in the student portal.
This guide explains where these estimates come from, what the fee list contains, how much the programme can cost in total, and how to pay.
FUOYE Nursing Science School Fees at a Glance
FUOYE charges by faculty group and by student status. Fresh students pay more because their first bill includes one-time items such as the development levy and matriculation. Returning students pay a much smaller amount each session. The closest published category for Nursing Science is the science group, which has higher laboratory charges than the humanities group.
| Fee | Estimated amount | Status of figure |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh student (100 level) | ₦107,000 – ₦150,000 | Estimate, not confirmed |
| Returning student (200 level upward) | ₦48,000 – ₦100,000 | Estimate, not confirmed |
| Acceptance fee (one time) | ₦35,000 – ₦50,000 | Estimate, not confirmed |
The lower figures come from the science faculty rates in FUOYE’s commonly reported fee list. The upper figures reflect reports placing Nursing Science around ₦150,000 and continuing students in some programmes at up to ₦100,000. Health science courses often carry additional departmental costs, so Nursing students should budget toward the higher end.
Are These the Official 2026/2027 Fees?
Not as a confirmed Nursing figure. Lists labelled 2026/2027 show a science group total of ₦107,000 for fresh students and ₦48,000 for returning students, but the same totals also appear in lists for 2024/2025. This suggests that the figures have either stayed the same or been carried forward without a new schedule. Other reports give different science amounts, such as ₦126,000 to ₦139,000 for new students, which shows how much the published figures vary.
For these reasons, students should use this guide for planning and treat the amount on the student portal as final. As of November 2026, no separate Nursing Science schedule for 2026/2027 is publicly available, and the available reports do not show an announced payment deadline for the session. Students can also confirm figures with the university’s bursary or at support@fuoye.edu.ng.
Breakdown of FUOYE Science Faculty Charges
The table below shows the commonly reported fee items for the science group, which is the nearest published guide for Nursing Science. It helps students see which charges are one-time and which repeat every session.
| Item | Fresh students | Returning students |
|---|---|---|
| Development levy | ₦30,000 | – |
| Laboratory/workshop | ₦10,000 | ₦10,000 |

| University calendar | ₦5,000 | – |
| Field trip | ₦5,000 | ₦5,000 |
| Caution fee (refundable) | ₦5,000 | – |
| Results verification | ₦3,500 | – |
| Health insurance (TISHIP) | ₦3,000 | ₦3,000 |
| Sports | ₦3,000 | ₦2,000 |
| Entrepreneurship | ₦3,000 | ₦3,000 |
| Student handbook | ₦2,500 | – |
| Medical | ₦2,000 | ₦2,000 |
| Identity card | ₦1,000 | ₦1,000 |

| Insurance scheme | ₦1,000 | ₦1,000 |
| Student union dues | ₦1,000 | ₦1,000 |
| Faculty charges | ₦500 | ₦500 |
| Total | ₦107,000 | ₦48,000 |
The difference of ₦59,000 between the fresh and returning totals comes from one-time items, especially the ₦30,000 development levy and ₦8,000 matriculation charge, along with slightly higher rates for items such as library and examination. The ₦5,000 caution fee is listed as refundable.
How Nursing Fees Compare With Other FUOYE Courses
FUOYE’s commonly reported list separates science-based courses from humanities-based courses. The main difference is the laboratory charge, which is ₦10,000 for the science group and ₦2,000 for the humanities group. That ₦8,000 gap applies to both fresh and returning students.
| Group | Fresh students | Returning students |
|---|---|---|
| Science, Agriculture and Engineering | ₦107,000 | ₦48,000 |
| Humanities, Social Sciences, Education and Management Sciences | ₦99,000 | ₦40,000 |
| Nursing Science (estimate) | ₦107,000 – ₦150,000 | ₦48,000 – ₦100,000 |
Nursing Science is not named in either group, so the estimate starts at the science rate and allows for the extra cost of a clinical programme. Reports on other health courses at FUOYE place Medicine and Surgery around ₦160,000 and Radiography around ₦150,000, which supports the higher end of the Nursing estimate for new students.
FUOYE Acceptance Fee for New Nursing Students
Newly admitted students pay a non-refundable acceptance fee once, before registration. The most commonly stated amount is ₦50,000, though ₦35,000 also appears in some fee lists. New students should budget for ₦50,000 and check the exact amount on the admission portal.
The acceptance fee is separate from the school fees total above. A fresh Nursing student therefore needs about ₦157,000 to ₦200,000 for the acceptance fee and first session’s fees together, before accommodation and personal costs.
Costs Outside the School Fees
The listed charges cover university services, but they do not cover the full cost of studying Nursing. Students should plan separately for the following:
- Hostel accommodation or off-campus rent in the Oye-Ekiti area
- Feeding and personal upkeep
- Textbooks, lecture materials and laboratory supplies
- Nursing uniforms and clinical items such as a stethoscope
- Transport to clinical postings
- Professional indexing and other departmental charges, where these apply
These costs vary by student and by level. Clinical and professional charges are usually larger once students begin hospital postings, so it helps to set money aside before that stage.
Total Cost of a Five-Year Nursing Programme
The Bachelor of Nursing Science is normally a five-year programme. A student pays one fresh bill and four returning bills. The table below adds these together using the estimates above, and it assumes no change in rates.
| Stage | Lower estimate | Higher estimate |
|---|---|---|
| 100 level (fresh) | ₦107,000 | ₦150,000 |
| 200 to 500 level (four returning bills) | ₦192,000 | ₦400,000 |
| Total for five levels | ₦299,000 | ₦550,000 |
Adding a ₦50,000 acceptance fee brings the estimate to ₦349,000 to ₦600,000. Spread over five years, this gives a yearly savings target of about ₦70,000 to ₦120,000, before accommodation, feeding and clinical items. This total is for planning only, and any fee review during the programme changes the final amount.
How to Pay FUOYE School Fees
FUOYE students pay online through the student portal using a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR). The usual steps are:
- Log in to the student portal with your matriculation number and password.
- Open the School Fees tab and select Make Payment.
- Choose the payment item and payment method, which can be a bank or a card.
- Generate the RRR and pay online or at a bank.
- Return to the portal and click Verify Payment.
- Print and keep the payment receipt.
Before paying, check that the name, programme, level and amount on the invoice are correct. Keep every receipt until graduation, because the department or bursary may ask for proof of payment during clearance. Students should pay only through the portal process and should not send money to agents or personal accounts. If a payment succeeds but does not show on the portal, take the receipt and RRR to the bursary for help.
Payment Deadlines and Late Registration
FUOYE announces its payment and registration dates by notice, and these dates change each session. Students should pay early, because a student who misses registration may face penalties or lose the session. For a Nursing student, this can delay graduation and add another year of fees and living costs.
Financial Support for FUOYE Nursing Students
Students who find the charges difficult can apply for a loan from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), which supports eligible students in public tertiary institutions. Under this scheme, the institutional fee portion goes directly to the university, and approved students may also receive an upkeep allowance. Repayment begins after the student completes the programme and starts working.
State governments, local governments and private foundations also offer scholarships and bursaries to health science students. Applications open at set times and requirements differ, so students should check with their state’s scholarship board.
Admission Requirements for Nursing Science
Nursing Science is a competitive course in Nigerian universities. Candidates usually need five O’Level credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, and UTME subjects of English Language, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. FUOYE also uses post-UTME screening. Candidates should check the current cut-off notice and the JAMB brochure before applying, since no confirmed Nursing cut-off mark is available for this guide.
