Do Not Rush To Pay School Fees Immediately
After seeing admission, many freshers become excited and want to start paying everything immediately.
That excitement is normal, but you have to calm down.
Before paying school fees, make sure you have followed the right steps.
You should first confirm your admission, accept it on JAMB CAPS, check the EBSU portal, and follow the correct instructions from the school.
Do not pay school fees because someone on WhatsApp told you to pay.
Do not pay through random links.
Do not pay into personal accounts.
Always make sure you are using the correct school portal.
Accept Your Admission on JAMB CAPS First
Before thinking about school fees, make sure your admission has been accepted on JAMB CAPS.
If your CAPS shows Congratulations, you have been offered admission, you should accept the admission if you want the course.
This is very important because JAMB CAPS is part of your official admission process.
Do not ignore it.
After accepting your admission on CAPS, you can then continue with other school portal steps.
If you do not know how to accept admission on CAPS, you can check admission guides on the Studentsdash app:

Pay Acceptance Fee Before School Fees
For most newly admitted students, acceptance fee comes before school fees.
Acceptance fee shows that you have accepted the admission given to you by the school.
After paying acceptance fee, you may be able to print your acceptance letter, admission letter, and other school portal documents.
So before rushing to school fees, make sure you understand whether acceptance fee payment has been completed.
If you skip important steps, you may become confused later during clearance or registration.
Check the Official EBSU Portal
School fees payment should be done through the correct EBSU portal or approved payment process.
Do not use links from random people.
Do not use screenshots from unknown groups.
Do not pay into any account sent to you privately.
If you are not sure of the correct portal, ask questions before paying.
It is better to delay and confirm than to rush and lose money.
Generate Your Invoice Properly
Before payment, students usually need to generate an invoice from the portal.
An invoice contains important payment details that connect the payment to your student profile.
Do not pay without generating the correct invoice.
Do not use another person’s invoice.
Do not allow someone to generate an invoice with wrong details.
Make sure your name, JAMB registration number, department, and other details are correct before payment.
Keep Your Payment Receipt Safe
After paying school fees, keep your receipt safe.
Do not delete your payment screenshot.
Do not throw away your printed receipt.
Do not leave your receipt with someone else.
Your payment receipt may be needed during clearance, course registration, faculty registration, departmental registration, or if there is any payment issue later.
It is better to keep both soft copy and printed copy.
Do Not Pay Through Fake Agents
During school fees payment season, some people may claim they can help freshers pay quickly.
Some may say they have a special link.
Some may say they know someone in ICT.
Some may say they can reduce your school fees.
Be careful.
Do not give money to random people.
Do not give your portal login to people you do not trust.
Do not pay into personal accounts.
If someone is helping you, make sure the person is trusted and you are watching what they are doing.
What If Payment Does Not Reflect?
Sometimes, payment may not reflect immediately because of network or payment issues.
If this happens, do not panic.
First, keep your receipt or payment evidence.
Then check the portal again after some time.
If the payment still does not reflect, you may need to contact the right school support channel or visit the appropriate office for help.
Do not rush to pay twice unless you are sure that is the right thing to do.
Prepare Other Payments Too
School fees may not be the only payment freshers will make.
Newly admitted students may also need money for other things like:
Acceptance fee
Clearance expenses
Departmental registration
Faculty registration
Course registration
Documents printing
Passport photographs
Accommodation
Feeding
Transport
Study materials
This is why freshers should plan well.
Do not spend all your money at once without understanding what comes next.
Start Preparing Your Documents Early
Before or after paying school fees, you should start preparing your documents.
Some important documents may include:
JAMB admission letter
JAMB result slip
O’Level result
Birth certificate or age declaration
Local government identification letter
Post UTME registration slip
Acceptance fee receipt
School fees receipt
Acceptance letter
Passport photographs
Other EBSU portal documents
Arrange them in a file and keep them safe.
Confirm Your Department and Course
Before making any payment, make sure the course and department on your portal are correct.
Sometimes, students may be offered another course different from what they first applied for.
If your course has changed, understand it properly before proceeding.
Do not pay blindly without confirming your admission details.
Avoid Waiting Until the Last Minute
Some students wait until the deadline is close before paying school fees.
This can be stressful.
When many students rush the portal at the same time, there may be network issues or payment delays.
If school fees payment has started and you have confirmed the correct process, try to pay early.
Do not wait until everyone is rushing.
