BUK School Fees (2026/2027): Complete Registration Fee Breakdown for Every Programme

Bayero University Kano, popularly known as BUK, has published its undergraduate registration-fee schedule for the 2026/2027 academic session.

Unlike some universities that publish one flat amount for every department, BUK’s charges differ according to the student’s programme, level of entry and nationality. The official schedule covers:

Fresh students admitted through UTME at Level 100
Fresh Direct Entry students admitted at Level 200
Returning undergraduate students
Tuition charges for non-Nigerian students
Programme-specific registration charges

The university also states that registration charges are reflected on each student’s BUK Personalised Payment Form, commonly called BUKPPF. Students are expected to pay through the Remita e-Payments and e-Collection platform.

Important: BUK’s official schedule states that all fees are non-refundable after payment. Students should therefore check every detail on their BUKPPF before making payment.

BUK School Fees Breakdown for Nigerian Students

For Nigerian students, the amount payable depends on the programme and whether the student is a fresher or returning student.

The official BUK schedule uses the following categories:

Student Category	Meaning
Fresh Level 100 UTME	Newly admitted students entering through UTME
Fresh Level 200 DE	Newly admitted Direct Entry students
Returning	Students already registered at BUK in previous sessions
Tuition for Non-Nigerians	Tuition amount listed for international students

For most programmes, fresh UTME and fresh Direct Entry students pay the same registration charge, although there are some programme-specific differences.

Accounting and Finance-related programmes	₦108,300	₦97,500

Nursing, Radiography, Physiotherapy and related programmes	₦151,300	₦140,500
Dental Surgery and MBBS	₦171,300	₦160,500

These are registration charges listed by BUK, not necessarily the complete amount a student may spend throughout the session. Students should also budget for acceptance, accommodation, feeding, transportation, books, departmental requirements and other personal expenses.

BUK Acceptance Fee for 2026/2027

The reported BUK undergraduate acceptance fee for the 2026/2027 admission exercise is:

BUK Acceptance Fee: ₦10,000

The acceptance fee is separate from the undergraduate registration charges displayed on the BUKPPF. Students should not assume that paying the registration fee automatically covers acceptance.

Before paying the acceptance fee, candidates should:

Confirm that they have received an admission offer.
Log in through the official BUK admission or screening portal.
Generate the correct acceptance-payment invoice.
Check the name, registration details and amount.
Pay through the approved payment channel.
Keep the payment receipt and transaction reference.

Avoid paying an acceptance fee into a personal bank account or through an agent who cannot provide an official payment invoice.

BUK Hostel and Accommodation Costs

BUK accommodation charges are not included in every student’s registration-fee total. Hostel payment is generally handled separately and may depend on:

Whether the student is allocated a bed space
The type of hostel
The campus or residence
Availability of bed spaces
The accommodation payment instructions released for the session

Students should not add an unverified hostel figure to their school-fee budget and present it as an official BUK charge.

The safest approach is to wait for the official hostel-allocation announcement and pay only through the university-approved process. A hostel payment should normally have a clear purpose, invoice or payment reference.

What Students Should Budget for Besides School Fees

Even where the official registration charge is clearly stated, students may still need money for:

Acceptance fee
Hostel accommodation
Feeding
Transportation
Textbooks and handouts
Departmental practical materials
Medical or screening requirements
Student identity card-related charges
Internet and printing
Course registration-related expenses
Personal living expenses

The exact amount for these items may differ from one student to another.

How to Generate BUKPPF for School Fees Payment

BUK uses the BUK Personalised Payment Form, also known as BUKPPF, for registration-fee payments.

According to the university’s payment instructions, students should first authenticate their studentship, log in to their account, update their profile and generate or print their BUKPPF. The BUKPPF already contains the Remita Retrieval Reference, known as RRR. Students are not expected to generate another RRR for the same payment.

Step-by-Step BUKPPF Generation Process

Step 1: Visit the official BUK portal

Go to the official BUK undergraduate registration portal.

Use only the official university website and avoid links sent through unverified WhatsApp groups or social media accounts.

Step 2: Authenticate your studentship

Complete the studentship-authentication process required by the portal.

Fresh students may be asked to provide information such as:

JAMB registration number
Admission details
Admission letter information
Other identification details

Returning students should use their existing BUK registration details.

Step 3: Log in to your student account

Enter your correct username and password.

If you are a returning student, use your previous login details where required. If you experience a problem, contact your Faculty Support Admin and include your registration number.

Step 4: Update your profile

Before generating the payment form, check that your profile information is correct.

Pay particular attention to:

Full name
Registration number
Phone number
Email address
Programme
Level
Student category

Step 5: Generate the BUKPPF

Select the option to generate or print your personalised payment form.

The form should show the payment details and the RRR assigned to the transaction.

Step 6: Print or save the form

Save a digital copy and, where possible, print the BUKPPF.

You will need the details on the form when paying online or at a bank.

How to Pay BUK School Fees Through Remita

BUK’s official payment procedure provides two main payment options:

Online payment with a debit card through Remita.
Payment at a bank branch using the payment information on the BUKPPF.

Option One: Online Remita Payment

Step 1: Open the payment section

Step 2: Select the correct payment

Choose the registration-fee payment linked to your BUKPPF.

Do not select a different service or create a fresh payment request if the portal has already generated your invoice.

Step 3: Click the Remita payment option

Select the option to pay with Remita.

The university’s payment guide instructs students to click the Pay with Remita button.

Step 4: Review the payment details

Before entering your card details, check the following:

University name
University logo or beneficiary
RRR
Amount payable
Student’s full name
Phone number
Email address
Registration number
BUKPPF ID

BUK specifically warns students to enter the information exactly as it appears on the BUKPPF. Incorrect information may delay payment validation or processing.

Step 5: Pay with your debit card

Enter the required card information on the secure Remita payment page.

Do not share your:

ATM PIN
Card PIN
One-time password
Banking password
Remita login details

with an agent or another person.

Step 6: Complete the transaction

Submit the payment and wait for the transaction result.

Do not refresh the page repeatedly or make another payment immediately if the first transaction is still processing.

Step 7: Save the receipt

After successful payment, save or print:

Remita receipt
RRR
BUKPPF ID
Payment date
Amount paid
Transaction reference

Option Two: Payment at a Bank

Students who do not want to pay online can use the bank-payment option.

Step 1: Generate the BUKPPF

Step 2: Print the payment invoice

Print the BUKPPF or keep a readable copy on your phone.

Step 3: Visit a bank

Go to a bank branch that supports the approved Remita payment process.

Step 4: Provide the payment details

Give the cashier the correct payment information from the BUKPPF.

Step 5: Pay the exact amount

Make sure the amount paid matches the amount on the invoice.

Step 6: Collect your receipt

Collect the bank receipt and keep it safe.

Step 7: Wait for validation

BUK states that payments are usually validated and processed within approximately 24 to 48 hours, although delays may occur.

Information You Must Check on Your BUKPPF

Before making payment, check that the following details are correct:

BUKPPF Information	What to Check
Name of MDA	Bayero University, Kano
Name of Service/Purpose	Correct registration-fee purpose
Description	Correct student and payment description
Amount to Pay	Correct amount
Registration Number	Your own registration number
BUKPPF ID	Correct payment-form ID
Payer’s Full Name	Student’s full name
Payer’s Email	Student’s correct email
Payer’s Phone	Student’s correct phone number
RRR	RRR displayed on the invoice

BUK explains that the payer’s details must belong to the student even when another person is paying on the student’s behalf.

What to Do If Your BUK Payment Is Not Showing

If you have paid but the portal has not updated your payment status, do not immediately pay again.

Instead:

Confirm that the transaction was successful.
Check your Remita receipt.
Confirm the RRR.
Confirm the amount paid.
Wait for the normal validation period.
Log in again and check your payment status.
Contact the appropriate BUK support office if the problem continues.

For payment-related enquiries, BUK asks students to include:

Remita Retrieval Reference
BUKPPF ID
Date of payment
Registration number

This information helps the university trace the transaction.

Important Warnings About BUK School Fees Payment

Students should take the following precautions:

Use the official BUK portal.
Do not generate another RRR when one has already been provided on your BUKPPF.
Do not alter the amount on the invoice.
Do not use another student’s payment form.
Do not enter an agent’s phone number as the payer’s phone number.
Do not pay into a personal bank account.
Do not share your ATM PIN or OTP.
Save your payment receipt.
Avoid making duplicate payments.
Check your payment status after the transaction.
Keep your BUKPPF until registration is completed.

BUK’s official instruction is clear: students must enter the BUKPPF information exactly as displayed because incorrect information can lead to delays in payment validation and processing.

BUK school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session are programme-based. Nigerian students generally pay registration charges between approximately ₦106,300 and ₦171,300 as fresh students, while returning students pay lower amounts depending on their course.

The most important step is to generate the correct BUK Personalised Payment Form, check the amount and student details carefully, and pay through the approved Remita channel. Students should also keep their BUKPPF, RRR and payment receipt until the university confirms the payment.
