The Postgraduate College Board of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, has approved a new Flexible Tuition Fee Payment Platform for newly admitted students in Academic Postgraduate Programmes (Academic Master's and PhD degrees).
The optional scheme was introduced to cushion current economic pressures and help postgraduate students spread their tuition payments across the academic session.
How the ABU Postgraduate Installment Plan Works
| Installment Stage | Required Cumulative Payment | What It Unlocks |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Installment (Upon Admission) | 50% of approved tuition fees | First semester course registration, lectures, and academic activities |
| 2nd Installment (Before 2nd Semester Starts) | Minimum of 80% of tuition fees | Second semester course registration |
| Final Settlement (Before End of 2nd Semester) | 100% full settlement | Printing of examination cards and participation in second semester exams |
Who Is Eligible and How to Opt In
- Eligible Programmes: The installment plan currently applies strictly to Academic Postgraduate Programmes (Academic Master's and PhD degrees). Professional postgraduate programmes are not included at this stage.
- Optional Participation: Students who prefer to pay 100% of their fees upfront can still do so. Those who wish to use the installment plan must formally accept the Flexible Tuition Fee Payment Agreement on the ABU student portal.
