The management of Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Osogbo, has issued an important notice to all students concerning school fees payment for the 2025/2026 academic session.

According to the directive, students are required to pay at least 50 per cent of their tuition fees before the university resumes academic activities for the new session. This instruction is meant to ensure smooth academic operations and proper planning by the university.

Details of the Official Circular

The directive was contained in an official circular released by the Office of the Registrar and addressed to all UNIOSUN students. The notice was dated December 18, 2025.

The circular clearly stated that this payment instruction applies only to students who did not apply for the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND). Students who are beneficiaries or applicants of the loan scheme are therefore not affected by this particular directive.

Deadline for Payment

The university management emphasized that the minimum 50% tuition payment must be completed before resumption, which is scheduled for:

Monday, January 5, 2026

Students are strongly advised to make their payments before this date to avoid any academic issues.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

The management made it clear that students who fail to comply with this directive will face academic restrictions.

According to the notice:

• Any student who does not pay the required 50% tuition fee before resumption

• Will not be allowed to take part in Continuous Assessment (CA)

• Will also not be permitted to sit for the Mid-Semester Test

These assessments are very important, as they contribute significantly to students’ final grades for the session.

Advice from the University Management

The university encouraged all affected students to:

• Make their tuition payments early

• Avoid last-minute rush and inconvenience

• Ensure they are fully cleared before academic activities begin

The management stressed that early payment will help students enjoy a smooth and uninterrupted academic session.

Holiday Message to Students

In addition to the directive, the university management also took the opportunity to send warm holiday greetings to all students.

Students were encouraged to:

• Enjoy the holiday season responsibly

• Stay safe

• Return to campus prepared and focused

Official Signatory

The circular was officially signed by the Registrar, Mrs. Atinuke Abosede Oguntunde, on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor of Osun State University.
