Caleb University 2026/2027 School Fees: Comprehensive Overview
Caleb University, a prominent private institution in Imota, Ikorodu, Lagos State, Nigeria, has released its fee structure for the 2026/2027 academic year. Founded in 2007 and accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC), the university offers over 43 undergraduate programmes across seven colleges. School fees are a critical consideration for prospective students and parents, with costs varying significantly based on the programme and student category.
Fee Structure for Fresh and Returning Students
For the 2026/2027 session, school fees for fresh students range from ₦969,000 to ₦2,423,000 per academic year, while returning students pay between ₦924,000 and ₦2,365,000. These amounts are all-inclusive, covering tuition, registration, development levy, ICT services, library access, sports, student handbook, and third-party charges. The fees reflect moderate increases from previous years, driven by inflation and rising operational costs in Nigeria's private education sector.
Breakdown by Faculty and Programme
The College of Law (COLAW) is the most expensive, with fees for fresh students estimated at ₦2,200,000 to ₦2,423,000 per session. In contrast, the College of Arts, Social and Management Sciences offers more affordable options, ranging from ₦969,000 to ₦1,200,000. Other faculties, such as the College of Environmental Science and Management (COLENSMA) and the College of Pure and Applied Science (COPAS), have intermediate fee ranges. Specific programmes like Architecture, Computer Science, and Nursing command higher fees due to specialized training and equipment costs.
Semester Payment Plans and Additional Costs
Caleb University allows fee payments in up to three instalments, with 50% due at registration and the balance split across the semester. The first semester typically includes one-time charges like registration and development levies, making it heavier than the second semester. For example, freshers in Architecture or Computer Science can expect first-semester subtotals of ₦381,500 to ₦412,000, while other programmes range from ₦331,500 to ₦366,500. Additional costs include a non-refundable acceptance fee of ₦125,000 to ₦150,000 for fresh students, a medical test fee of ₦10,000, and hostel accommodation at ₦125,000 per semester for shared rooms.
Accreditation and Student Resources
Caleb University is fully accredited by the NUC and relevant professional bodies, such as the Council of Legal Education for Law and the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria for Nursing. The university provides scholarships, including the Zenith Bank/Caleb University Scholarship Award, and permits the use of mobile devices on campus, though it enforces strict rules like a curfew and dress code. Prospective students are advised to contact the admissions office directly for the most current fee schedules, as the university does not publish a publicly downloadable PDF for the 2026/2027 session.
