17. How much is the school fees?

Click here to know your course fee

18. Does Unilag accept instalment payment?

Yes Unilag now allows part payment, for most courses, so don’t run because of fees.

Unilag started part payment 3 years ago. Its for only Par time students and you will pay about 5% interest of the total fees.

e.g if your fees is N100,000, you break into 2, for instance N50,000, plus 5% of N100,000 you pay per session or pay per semester depending on the arrangement.

19. Can I defer my course?

Yes only after admission. you must accept and pay all fees first. then you can defer.

20. Why are students stepped down or Disqualified even when they passed the exams?

Stepped down or disqualified is when you have passed the exams and recommended for admission, the school then checks your papers and finds that you don’t possess the necessary papers you claim, you will be STEPPED DOWN, even if you scored 100% in the exams,that is why it is very important for you to come and see us so we can cross check your document before you apply.

For example Bsc Economics applying for Msc Finance, you will be disqualified, unilag will surely allow you to buy the form and write the exams.

21.Can i cross from Fulltime to par time or vice versa?

Fulltime cut off mark is higher than par time cut off mark.
The tactics some people uses is applying for Par time and then later cross over to Full time.
Call us for more details about this tactics.

Note: you can change from low fees course to higher fees course but not reversed. e.g MBA FT can change to MBA PT or Exec but not vice-versa

If your job is flexible go for Fulltime rather than Par time,because its saves cost and time.

22.Will Master students be provided accommodation?

Yes, but through ballot. so only like 10% can be accommodated. Again call us we would make sure your accommodation is secured.

23. Is working experience mandatory as required in some courses?

Yes. some departments do insist.like Public health, MILR, for MBA dont really count, just you will lose marks, for PT.

24. Can I work and DO Full Time programme?

Possible if your job is not stressful. and if you have shifting job.
It can be arranged with your class governor for assistance.
