Veritas University Acceptance and School Fees for Freshers

When you’re offered admission into Veritas University, Abuja, the next step is paying your acceptance fee to secure your spot. 

After that, you’ll need to settle your school fees before lectures begin. 

What Is the Acceptance Fee at Veritas University?

The acceptance fee is the first payment you make after receiving your admission offer. 

It confirms that you want to take the spot given to you, and it allows the university to start processing your student file officially.

For the 2025/2026 academic session, the acceptance fee for freshers at Veritas University is ₦100,000.

This fee is non-refundable, and you must pay it before doing anything else, such as course registration, choosing accommodation, or attending orientation. 

Without this payment, your admission may be revoked or marked as “not accepted.”

How Do You Pay the Acceptance Fee?

Once you get your admission letter, you’ll be given access to the university’s payment portal. Here’s how the process usually works:

1. Visit the Veritas University portal – https://www.veritas.edu.ng

2. Log in using your JAMB registration number or the email used during application.

3. Navigate to “Acceptance Fee” under the payment section.

4. Select payment method (debit card, bank transfer, or direct bank deposit).

5. Make the payment and save the transaction receipt.

Always make payments through the official portal or approved bank channels. 

Avoid using third-party agents unless they are officially affiliated with the school.

Are There Other Fees to Be Aware Of?

What Happens After Paying the Acceptance Fee?

Once you’ve paid your ₦100,000 acceptance fee:

1. You’ll receive a confirmation slip.

2. The university will activate your student profile.

3. You’ll be asked to upload key documents like your O’Level results, birth certificate, and passport photograph.

4. Next, you’ll proceed to select your accommodation and pay your school fees.
   

Only students who have completed these steps will be fully registered and allowed to join classes when the semester begins.

Is It Possible to Pay School Fees in Installments?

Veritas University prefers full payment before resumption, especially for freshers.

However, in special cases, the university may allow installment payment arrangements, but this depends on:

• The course you’re studying (professional programs are less flexible)

• How early you request installment permission

• Approval by the bursary or finance office

If you’re hoping for this option, it’s best to reach out to the school early and get everything in writing. 

You may be asked to pay at least 50% upfront, with the balance due mid-semester.

How Can You Get Financial Help?

Veritas University doesn’t run a federal scholarship scheme, but there are a few options for financial support:

• Catholic-based scholarships or grants – Available for students from Catholic dioceses or affiliated schools

• NGO scholarships – Some students apply through private organizations offering aid for education

• Merit-based discounts – High-scoring JAMB candidates and top students may qualify for reduced fees in later years

Keep in mind that financial aid is limited, competitive, and not guaranteed. It’s best to plan as though you’ll cover the full fees unless you’ve received confirmed support.
