The Office of the Bursar at Yobe State University (YSU), Damaturu, has officially released the approved fee schedule for the 2025/2026 academic session.

Understanding your financial obligations early is key to a stress-free registration process. While the university provides a general structure, the specific amount you pay often depends on your state of origin (Indigene vs. Non-indigene), your level of study, and your specific programme (e.g., Science, Arts, or Medicine).

How to Access Your Specific Fee Breakdown

Because fee structures can vary significantly between a student in the Faculty of Law and one in the Faculty of Science, the university has decentralized the distribution of these documents:

1. Visit Your Faculty: Physical copies of the detailed breakdown are available at your respective Faculty Offices.

2. Check Departmental Notice Boards: Most departments will paste the specific fees relevant to their students on the notice boards.

3. Student Portal: Log in to the YSU Student Portal using your credentials. Once you begin the registration process, the system will automatically generate your personalized invoice.

General Components of YSU Registration Fees

While the total amount changes based on the course, your registration fee typically covers the following essential services:

• Tuition Fees: The core cost of instruction.

• Library & Laboratory Fees: For access to research materials and practical equipment.

• Examination Fees: Covering the administration of your semester finals.

• Student Handbook & ID Card: Essential for your identity on campus.

• Sports & ICT Levies: For the maintenance of university digital portals and athletic facilities.

• Health Services/TISHIP: Mandatory health insurance for students.

Important Payment Advice

To ensure your payment is valid and your registration is confirmed, please follow these guidelines:

• Official Channels Only: Always generate your Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) or invoice through the university portal. Never pay money into a private account.

• Bank Payments: If paying at a bank, ensure you keep your stamped teller and the e-receipt generated.

• Deadlines: Pay early to avoid “Late Registration” penalties, which are usually added after the first few weeks of the semester.

• Keep Receipts: Digitally scan and keep physical copies of all your payment receipts until you graduate. You will need them for final clearance.
