Additional Information

Fees for academic programmes are subject to change and may be adjusted to account for annual price increases.

All admitted students must place a non-refundable deposit to reserve their place in the programme.

Students are responsible for their own travel and accommodation arrangements and costs. However, plans have been made with short let apartments and hotel owners around Lekki for a negotiated and discounted rate. Further information on accommodation could be obtained from the Registrars’/admission office.

Students who register and decide not to attend the university or choose to withdraw during the year must inform the Registrar’s Office in writing with a withdrawal form or letter. Non-attendance at classes does not constitute withdrawal. Students who stop their studies without formally withdrawing are not eligible for a refund or any form of financial adjustment. A refund schedule will be posted prior to the start of the semester.

Late/Delayed Payments

James Hope University students are not allowed to pre-register, register or graduate without first settling any outstanding balance owed to the university. In addition, students are not allowed to carry balances over from one academic year into the next; all back balances must be paid in full prior to registration.

Student who do not meet payment due date or other requirements for financial clearance will be charged a NGN25,000 late payment fee. In addition to the late payment fee, students who have not obtained financial clearance are barred from registering for courses and other Registrar services, such as ordering official certificates or registration, academic transcripts and diplomas. If students continue to be delinquent on their outstanding balance, they will be reviewed by the Dean’s Office for cancellation of enrolment, as outlined in the JHU Student Handbook.

Students are given ample notice via email before penalties are assessed. Students must contact the office of the Registrar at registrar@jhu.edu.ng as soon as any extenuating circumstances arise which prevent them from resolving their outstanding balance.
