KASU Hostel and Accommodation Fees

The latest published 2026/2027 fee information available does not provide a single verified hostel amount applicable to every student.

Hostel charges can depend on the available accommodation and the particular arrangement made by the university for the academic session.

Students should therefore budget for accommodation separately from the school fees listed above.

How to Apply for KASU Hostel Accommodation

Students who want university accommodation should follow the hostel application procedure announced by KASU for their academic session.

The general process includes:

Complete the required admission and registration process.
Pay the prescribed school fees.
Log in to the student system when hostel applications open.
Apply for an available bed space.
Complete any required accommodation payment.
Keep the payment evidence for future reference.

Students should avoid paying unofficial agents for hostel accommodation.

How to Pay KASU School Fees

KASU uses its online student portal and designated payment channels for school fee payments.

The university’s registration guidelines state that new students should log in to the KASU portal and navigate to the Fees section to view their fee schedule and make payment.

Payment can be made online or at designated bank branches using the generated invoice.

Students should follow these steps:

Log in to the KASU student portal.
Open the Fees section.
View the applicable fee invoice.
Generate the payment invoice where required.
Make payment online or through the designated bank payment channel.
Confirm that the payment has been successfully recorded.
Proceed with course registration.

KASU specifically warns students not to transfer money to individuals or unauthorised accounts and advises students to use official university payment channels or designated banks.

KASU Acceptance Fee

KASU’s official admission and registration information includes an acceptance-fee stage for newly admitted students.

The university’s registration flow lists:

Acceptance of admission on JAMB CAPS
Upload of documents
Payment of acceptance fee and download of the KASU admission offer
School fee payment
Course registration
Collection of new students’ kit

Therefore, newly admitted students should expect an acceptance-fee payment before proceeding to the school fee stage.

The acceptance fee is separate from the school-fee amounts shown in the tables above.

KASU Additional Charges

Apart from the main school fees, students may have other charges connected with registration and university services.

These can include charges relating to:

Student identification
GST materials
Practical kits
Medical services
Departmental or faculty-related requirements
Accommodation
Other university-approved services

KASU’s new-student registration guidelines specifically mention the collection of an ID card, GST books and practical kits for students in programmes requiring practical materials.

Students should therefore budget for these expenses in addition to their main school fees.
