The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has streamlined the payment process for faculty and departmental dues by introducing a new central payment portal for the 2025/2026 academic session. This upgrade is designed to make payments easier, reduce stress for students, and eliminate multiple payment points across the campus.

Under the new system, all faculty and departmental obligations have been merged into one unified platform ensuring faster processing and better tracking of student dues. The updated rates have already been implemented for the new session.

Central Payment Portal for Faculty & Departmental Dues

The revised payment structure brings all charges under one roof. This means:

• No more separate payments at individual faculty offices
  
• No more additional departmental payments during the semester
  
• All required dues are paid once through a simplified central portal
  

This unified process ensures that students can easily access proof of payment, avoid confusion, and keep their financial records organised throughout the session.

Student Association Dues for Freshers

While centralisation covers most dues, Student Association Dues which include fees for faculty and departmental associations will still be collected at the faculty level, especially for freshers.

These dues will be taken during the screening and registration exercise.
New students should follow any specific payment instructions issued by their faculty to ensure they complete both screening and association payments at the same time.

Course Registration and Hostel Eligibility

Course registration is an essential requirement for every student, and it directly affects hostel allocation.

To qualify for the UNILAG hostel balloting process:

• Students must complete their course registration early
  
• Only fully registered students will be considered for hostel allocation
  
• Early registration helps the university prepare accommodation lists on time
  

Think of course registration as your entry ticket into the hostel ballot. Delaying it may affect your eligibility.
