The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has issued an important update to help students understand the processes involved in course registration, fee payment, and resolving portal issues for the 2025/2026 academic session. This guide breaks down how the school portal calculates fees, the compulsory charges students must pay, the minimum payment accepted, and the steps to follow when errors occur on the portal.

How the UNILAG Course Registration Portal Works

UNILAG’s course registration portal is organised using two main factors:

1. Programme Type

• Science
  
• Non-science
  

2. Category of Student

• Fresher
  
• Returning Student
  
• Final-Year/Graduating Student
  

These two categories combine to determine the exact fee structure that appears for each student on the portal.

Compulsory Fees Every UNILAG Student Must Pay

For registration to be marked as complete, several charges are mandatory and must be paid in full. These include:

• Utility Charges
  
• Departmental Dues
  
• Faculty Dues
  
• Convocation Fees (for graduating students only)
  

Unless these compulsory fees are cleared, the portal will not approve or display full course registration status.

Minimum Payment Required to Complete Registration

Every student must pay at least 50% of the Obligatory Fees before the system allows course registration to proceed.

Once the 50% part payment has been made and all compulsory charges are fully settled, students can move ahead with selecting and submitting courses on the portal.

Field Trip Fees for Applicable Departments

Some departments require students to participate in field trips or practical excursions.
Where this applies, the Field Trip Fee will appear clearly on the portal and must be paid as part of the overall student charges.

How to Fix Common Portal Issues on the UNILAG Registration System

Students who encounter issues such as missing fees, inability to register courses, or difficulty generating pay advice can follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Student Portal.
   
2. Click Refresh Payment Status.
   
3. Generate your fees again.
   
4. View and download the Pay Advice.
   
5. Proceed to make payment through any approved channel listed on the portal.
   

These steps resolve most cases of incomplete fee display or course registration errors.

UNILAG ICT Support Contacts

Students who still cannot see their fees or continue to experience portal issues can contact the UNILAG ICT team via email:

• dir-cits@unilag.edu.ng
  
• ddcits1@unilag.edu.ng
  
• ddcits2@unilag.edu.ng
  

When sending a message, students should include:

• Full Name
  
• Matriculation Number
  
• Programme Type
  
• A clear and brief description of the issue encountered
  

Providing complete information helps the ICT team respond quickly and accurately.

Final Note

By paying the correct fees, making the required minimum payment, and following the outlined steps for resolving portal errors, UNILAG students can successfully complete their registration for the 2025/2026 academic session. Students are encouraged to check the portal regularly and reach out to the ICT support team whenever needed.
