If you’ve recently been offered admission into the University of Calabar (UNICAL), congratulations! Your next step is crucial — paying your acceptance fee. This fee is mandatory for all admitted candidates, and it confirms that you’re accepting the admission offer officially.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the exact amount to be paid, the steps involved in making your payment, and why it’s important not to delay.

What Is the UNICAL Acceptance Fee?

The acceptance fee is a non-refundable payment required from every student who has been offered provisional admission into UNICAL. It acts as an official confirmation that you accept the admission, and it also secures your place as a new student.

Until you pay this fee, you won’t be able to proceed with other important registrations such as school fees payment, course registration, or departmental clearance. So, it’s not just a formality — it’s a must.

How Much Is UNICAL Acceptance Fee for 2025/2026?

For the 2025/2026 academic session, the University of Calabar acceptance fee is ₦40,300. This amount applies to all newly admitted students across the different admission batches (1st, 2nd, and 3rd lists).

The fee is time-sensitive — candidates are expected to pay within two weeks of confirming their admission status on the UNICAL admission portal. Delays may result in forfeiture of admission.

UNICAL Acceptance Fee Payment Deadline

It’s important to note that UNICAL does not keep the payment portal open indefinitely. Candidates are strongly advised to pay their acceptance fee within 1–2 weeks of seeing their name on the admission list.

Failure to pay within the specified timeframe may result in losing your admission offer, as the university reserves the right to revoke unclaimed slots to accommodate other candidates on the waiting list.
