Important: These are reported figures, not a guarantee of the amount every COOU student must pay. They may not apply to every department or programme, and the exact charges should be checked against the official invoice generated for your student account.

Students in specialised programmes may have substantially different charges. Do not make payment based only on a fee table shared on social media or an education website.

COOU School Fees for Freshers 2026/2027

Freshers are students newly admitted into COOU for the first time.

The reported 2026/2027 schedule lists approximately ₦127,950 for many non-professional programmes and ₦137,950 for many professional programmes.

However, your actual amount may differ according to your course and the charges applicable to your admission category.

Before paying, complete the required admission procedures and check the official portal for your fees invoice. The invoice is the best starting point for confirming the amount attached to your student record.

COOU School Fees for Returning Students 2026/2027

Returning students should not assume that they will pay the same amount as freshers.

The reported schedule gives the following estimates for many programmes:

• 200 Level: Approximately ₦126,950 for many non-professional programmes and ₦136,950 for many professional programmes.
• 300 Level: Approximately ₦113,300 for many programmes.
• 400 Level and above: Approximately ₦108,300 for many programmes.

These figures are general estimates from a third-party published schedule. Your department, programme and individual invoice may show a different amount.

Students should generate their own invoices rather than relying on the amount paid by friends or classmates.

How to Check Your Exact COOU School Fees

Follow these steps to confirm your fees:

1. Visit the official COOU portal at https://portal.coou.edu.ng/.
2. Select the appropriate student or fee-related service.
3. Log in or provide the information requested by the portal.
4. Locate the fees or invoice section available to your student category.
5. Generate your fees invoice.
6. Review the amount, fee description and payment instructions carefully.
7. Save the invoice for reference before proceeding with payment.

The university's authenticated portal includes a facility for generating fees invoices. If you cannot access the correct option, contact the university's support office or your department for guidance.

How to Pay COOU School Fees Online

After confirming the amount payable, follow the instructions provided on the official portal.

1. Open the COOU portal at https://portal.coou.edu.ng/.
2. Access the appropriate fees or payment section.
3. Generate the required invoice if you have not already done so.
4. Check that the invoice belongs to you and relates to the correct academic session.
5. Follow the approved payment instructions displayed by the university.
6. Complete the transaction and keep your receipt and payment reference.
7. Return to the portal to confirm that the payment has been recorded.

Do not pay into a personal bank account because someone claims to be a university official or an admission agent. Use the payment process authorised by COOU.

If your bank account is debited but the portal does not immediately reflect the payment, check the transaction status and seek assistance before attempting another payment.

Is COOU Acceptance Fee Included in School Fees?

Students should distinguish between an acceptance fee and school fees.

An acceptance fee, where applicable, is associated with accepting an admission offer. School fees cover the charges listed for the relevant academic session. Other charges may also appear separately on a student's invoice.

Do not assume that a figure published for school fees includes every admission or registration charge. Check the instructions given to you and the official invoice for the fee description, amount and deadline.

Why COOU School Fees May Differ by Course

There is no single figure that should automatically be applied to every student at the university.

The amount may differ because of:

• The student's programme or department.
• The level of study.
• The student's admission category.
• Charges applicable to the academic session.
• Additional programme-specific fees, where applicable.

For this reason, a student in one department should not assume that the amount paid by a student in another department is correct for them.

What to Do If You Cannot Generate Your COOU Fees Invoice

If the portal does not generate your invoice, try the following:

1. Confirm that you are using the official university portal.
2. Check that your login details and student information are correct.
3. Make sure you have selected the appropriate service and academic session.
4. Try again later if the portal is temporarily unavailable.
5. Contact your department or the university's support office if the problem continues.

Do not pay an amount supplied by an unofficial agent simply because you cannot generate an invoice.

The COOU portal lists 08139833300 for assistance on its authenticated applications and payments page. You can also find the university's general contact details at https://www.coou.edu.ng/.

Important Things to Know Before Paying COOU School Fees

Before completing payment, remember the following:

• Confirm the correct academic session.
• Generate your own invoice.
• Check whether the listed amount applies to your programme and level.
• Read the payment instructions carefully.
• Keep your receipt and transaction reference.
• Avoid duplicate payments when a transaction is still being processed.
• Confirm registration deadlines through official university announcements.
• Never share your portal password with an unknown person.

Following these steps can help you avoid payment errors and delays during registration.
