This announcement brings welcome relief for students planning their budgets for housing, fees, and daily campus expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hostel Balloting and Eligibility<\/strong><br>Students who wish to participate in the <strong>hostel accommodation balloting exercise<\/strong> must complete their course registration on time. UNILAG management emphasized that <strong>only fully registered students will be eligible<\/strong> for hostel allocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Late registration could result in missing out on hostel spaces, so students are strongly encouraged to complete the process early. Course registration is essentially the &#8220;ticket&#8221; for hostel placement, enabling the university to plan allocations efficiently once the balloting begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Centralized Payment for Faculty and Departmental Dues<\/strong><br>UNILAG has introduced a <strong>central payment portal<\/strong> to streamline the payment of all Faculty and Departmental dues. Key highlights of this new system include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>No need to make separate payments at faculty or departmental offices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced total dues rates now in effect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easier tracking and proof of payment through a single platform.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This change ensures that students can settle all relevant fees in one go, avoiding confusion and unnecessary delays during the semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Student Association Dues for Freshers<\/strong><br>Fresh students are still required to pay <strong>Student Association Dues<\/strong> at the faculty level during the screening process. Faculties will provide detailed instructions to help new students complete both the screening and association dues simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stay Updated via WhatsApp<\/strong><br>UNILAG encourages students to subscribe to the <strong>official UNILAG WhatsApp channel<\/strong> to receive timely announcements, hostel balloting dates, and reminders. This service ensures students stay informed without relying on notice boards or peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With hostel fees remaining stable and a centralized payment system in place, students can now plan their academic session more efficiently and avoid unnecessary stress over campus payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also like to read: <a href=\"https:\/\/examkits.com\/blog\/unilag-releases-mandatory-toxicology-screening-schedule-for-newly-admitted-2025-2026-students\/\">UNILAG Releases Mandatory Toxicology Screening Schedule for Newly Admitted 2025\/2026 Students<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has reassured students that there will be no increase in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":1619,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[600],"tags":[20969,2731,5935,4619,20968,20967,1534],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>UNILAG Confirms No Increase in Hostel Fees; Announces Centralized Payment Portal for Dues - Examkits<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"UNILAG hostel fees remain unchanged.
