Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), Ijagun, Ogun State, does not have a confirmed, published Nursing Science degree programme that a candidate can apply to. The university is a specialist institution for teacher education and related fields. Because of this, no separate “nursing school fees” or “nursing acceptance fee” schedule exists. The figures below are the fees that TASUED charges its undergraduate students in general, so a reader sees what the university collects, and the article then explains how nursing candidates should proceed.
Quick Answer
| Item | Amount reported (₦) |
|---|---|
| Fresh student school fees (education programmes) | 170,500 |
| Fresh student school fees (pure science, social science, arts programmes) | 180,500 |
| Returning student school fees (education programmes) | 148,500 |
| Returning student school fees (pure programmes) | 158,500 |
| Acceptance fee (new students only) | 50,000 to 70,000 |
These amounts come from the most recent schedules traced for the 2025/2026 session, and several sites carry them forward for 2026/2027. TASUED’s bursary and admissions office remain the final authority, and the amount on the payment invoice is what counts.
Does TASUED Offer Nursing?
Nursing Science in Nigeria is a regulated health programme. A university that offers it needs a College or Faculty of Health Sciences, a teaching hospital or approved clinical partner, National Universities Commission (NUC) approval, and accreditation from the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN). A graduate of a programme without NMCN recognition cannot sit the professional licensing examination.
TASUED’s published programme list centres on education courses, along with pure sciences, social sciences, and arts. It does not show a Nursing Science degree. Candidates who see TASUED listed as a nursing option on a blog, an agent’s page, or a social media post should confirm it directly with the university’s admissions office or on its official website before paying any fee. Paying an acceptance fee for an unverified programme risks losing money, because acceptance fees are non-refundable.
TASUED School Fees Breakdown
TASUED uses a tiered structure. The tier depends on whether the programme is an education course or a pure course, and whether the student is fresh or returning.
| Student category | Education courses (₦) | Pure courses (₦) |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh students | 170,500 | 180,500 |
| Returning students | 148,500 | 158,500 |
The school fee covers tuition and the usual institutional charges such as registration, examination, library, and ICT. Accommodation, textbooks, and personal costs are separate. Some published schedules also show a registration charge of about ₦40,000 for fresh students, so a fresh student should ask whether that sits inside or on top of the school fee figure.
Indigenes of Ogun State and students from other states pay the same school fees. Part-time programmes have a lower flat rate, but they do not apply to a full-time nursing-type course.
TASUED Acceptance Fee Explained
The acceptance fee is a one-time payment from newly admitted students. It confirms that the candidate accepts the offer of admission and secures the place. It is separate from school fees and non-refundable.
Reported amounts range from ₦50,000 to ₦70,000, and the figure has changed between sessions. An earlier session listed a much lower amount, so the exact charge depends on the session and the current circular.
A new student generally pays in this order:
- Confirm admission status on the admission portal using the JAMB registration number.
- Generate the acceptance fee invoice on the portal.
- Pay through Remita and keep the receipt.
- Print the acceptance receipt and admission letter.
- Generate and pay school fees, then begin course registration and clearance.
Acceptance fee payment has a deadline. Missing it can lead to the admission slot being given to another candidate.
How TASUED Fees Are Paid
New students pay the full school fee before registration. Fees are generated on the student portal as a Remita invoice, and payment is made online by card or transfer or at a bank. The system confirms payment through the Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR). Students keep both the invoice and the receipt for clearance and screening.
Returning students follow the same invoice process. Whether instalments are allowed varies by session and is stated in the fee circular, so a student should check before assuming a split payment.
What Nursing Programmes Typically Cost Elsewhere
A nursing candidate planning a budget should know that nursing degrees cost more than standard programmes in most institutions. Health programmes carry laboratory, clinical posting, and skills training costs. Typical extra expenses for a nursing student include:
- Uniforms and a lab coat for classes and clinical postings
- Clinical tools such as a stethoscope, blood pressure apparatus, and a watch with a second hand
- Medical fitness tests and vaccination records before clinical placement
- Professional registration and examination fees charged by the nursing council
- Textbooks for anatomy, physiology, and nursing procedures
The exact amounts depend on the institution. Private universities with approved Nursing Science programmes charge far higher fees than public universities, and schools of nursing attached to hospitals set their own structure.
Options for Candidates Who Want to Study Nursing
A candidate whose goal is a nursing career has three main routes.
| Route | Duration | Awarding body | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bachelor of Nursing Science (BNSc) at an accredited university | Five years | University, with NUC approval and NMCN accreditation | Degree route to registered nurse status |
| School of Nursing (RN) | Three years | Nursing council | Hospital-based training, with separate admission and fee structure |
| College of Nursing Sciences | Varies | NBTE and NMCN | Offers diploma-level nursing programmes in some states |
Candidates choose a route based on JAMB subject combination and score. Nursing Science requires English Language, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at credit level. A candidate must also select the institution as a first-choice in JAMB where the programme requires it. A candidate who has secured a TASUED admission in a different course and wants to move to nursing needs to confirm with the university whether any internal transfer exists, and the answer is typically no for health professional programmes that the university does not run.
How to Verify Fees Before Paying
Verification prevents the most common loss in admission season. A candidate should:
- Open the official TASUED website and portal, and read the admission list and fee circular directly.
- Confirm the programme name on the admission letter matches the programme listed on the portal.
- Confirm that the invoice account name and Remita details belong to the university.
- Contact the Bursary or Admissions office by the contact details published on the official site if any figure seems different from the one on the invoice.
- Avoid paying fees to individuals, personal bank accounts, or agents who claim to guarantee a nursing slot.

Conclusion
TASUED’s published fee structure shows school fees of about ₦148,500 to ₦180,500 and an acceptance fee of ₦50,000 to ₦70,000, depending on programme type, student category, and session. A nursing-specific schedule does not exist because a nursing degree is not a confirmed programme at the university.

Notes for publishing:
- I could not find any evidence that TASUED offers Nursing Science. Writing “TASUED nursing fees” as if a nursing schedule exists would give readers false information and risk their money, so the article answers the keyword honestly: it gives the general TASUED fees and explains the nursing situation. If you have proof that TASUED launched a nursing programme, send it and I will rewrite that section.
- I corrected the title typo (“fo” to “for”) and added the question form. Use “How Much Is TASUED School Fees and Acceptance Fee for Nursing?” as the H1.
- Fee figures are unofficial and conflict across sources, especially the acceptance fee (₦50,000 vs ₦70,000). The article states them as reported ranges. Update the tables when TASUED publishes its 2026/2027 circular.
