FUDMA School Fees for Civil Engineering 2026/2027 — what new and returning Civil Engineering students at Federal University Dutsin-Ma (FUDMA), Katsina State, should budget for this session. Updated September 2026.
FUDMA School Fees 2026/2027: What We Know
FUDMA’s management confirmed for the 2026/2027 session that school fees remain broadly unchanged from the previous cycle. Based on the 2025/2026 published schedule carried forward, fresh Civil Engineering students should budget around ₦126,000 in total charges, while returning students pay considerably less — around ₦71,000 — since they skip acceptance, matriculation, and other first-time charges.
FUDMA does not publish a separate Civil-Engineering-specific tuition line; departmental/lab charges for engineering courses are typically bundled into the figures below rather than itemised. Treat these as planning estimates — always confirm your exact invoice on the student portal.

|---|---|---|
| Total charges (fresher) | ~126,000 | Includes registration, matriculation, and departmental charges |
| Total charges (returning student) | ~71,000 | No acceptance/matriculation/first-time charges |
| Acceptance fee | ~10,000 | One-time, new admits only — confirm on portal, as FUDMA had not freshly re-published this figure at time of writing |
| Post-UTME/screening form | 2,000 | Non-refundable, paid at application stage |
| Hostel accommodation | 10,000 – 30,000/session | Depends on room type and availability |

How to Pay FUDMA School Fees
- Log in to myportal.fudutsinma.edu.ng.
- Generate your school-fees invoice for the current session.
- Pay via the approved bank channels or online payment platform shown on the invoice.
- Upload your payment evidence to the student portal and confirm it reflects before registering courses.
New students pay the acceptance fee first (see our FUDMA Acceptance Fee guide) before the school-fees invoice becomes available.
Accommodation Costs
On-campus hostel accommodation runs roughly ₦10,000–₦30,000 per session, depending on room type and availability. Off-campus rentals around Dutsin-Ma vary more and are worth researching with current students before committing.
Late Payment Consequences
Missing FUDMA’s fee payment deadline can result in registration suspension, exclusion from examinations, or in serious cases, deferment of the academic session. Some sessions have also attracted a late-payment surcharge of 10-20% of the outstanding amount — pay early where possible.
