3. Why UNILAG distance learning school fees differ Between Programmes and Students
Reported figures vary for several reasons:
- Level: 100 Level, 200 Level and 300 Level students may not pay the same tuition.
- Entry Route: Direct Entry (DE) applicants may be billed differently from UTME applicants.
- Additional Charges: Some student figures may include registration fees, late payment charges or departmental fees.
- Annual Revisions: Tuition may change from one academic session to another.
If you’re applying through Direct Entry, read our UNILAG DLI Direct Entry Admission Guide to understand the additional requirements and admission process.
These factors make it difficult to compare figures across programmes directly and may explain why Economics appears higher than Accounting or Business Administration in current student reports.
