UNILAG Releases New Guide on Course Registration, Fees, and Portal Issues for 2025 Students
The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has issued a clear and updated guide to help students understand how course registration and fee payment work on the institution’s online portal. The new advisory breaks down fee categories, compulsory charges, minimum payment requirements, and steps to resolve common portal errors — ensuring that both new and returning students can register smoothly for the academic year.
How the UNILAG Registration Portal Works
UNILAG’s course registration portal is structured around two key settings that automatically determine each student’s fee schedule:
1. Programme Type
- Science
- Non-Science
2. Student Category
- Fresher
- Returning Student
- Graduating Student
The combination of these two factors generates the exact fee structure displayed on a student’s portal dashboard.
Compulsory Charges Every Student Must Pay
According to the university, some fees must be paid in full before the system can mark a student as “fully registered.” These charges appear as compulsory items on the portal, including:
- Utility Fee
- Departmental Dues
- Faculty Dues
- Convocation Fee (for graduating students only)
UNILAG emphasizes that registration will not reflect as completed until all these mandatory payments are cleared.
Minimum Payment Required for Portal Clearance
To proceed with course registration, each student must pay at least 50% of their Obligatory Fee.
Once the compulsory charges are settled and the 50% minimum is paid, the portal automatically unlocks the next stage, allowing students to register their courses without delays.
Field Trip Fees for Applicable Departments
Certain departments impose additional Field Trip Fees.
Where applicable, these fees are displayed clearly on the student’s portal and must be paid alongside other charges.
Quick Fix for Common Portal Issues
UNILAG has outlined simple steps students can take when faced with portal errors such as missing fees, failed generation, or registration glitches:
- Log in to the student portal.
- Click “Refresh Payment Status.”
- Generate fees again.
- Open and review the pay advice.
- Proceed to pay using the approved payment channels.
Most portal display problems are resolved by following these steps carefully.
UNILAG ICT Support Contacts for Registration Help
Students who continue to experience issues after troubleshooting can contact UNILAG’s ICT support team through the following official emails:
UNILAG advises students to include their full name, matric number, programme type, and a clear description of the issue when requesting support.
Bottom Line
By following these guidelines — paying compulsory fees, meeting the 50% minimum requirement, and reaching out to ICT support when necessary — students can stay fully in control of their UNILAG course registration process for the new academic year.
