Accommodation Fees
AKUM operates an undergraduate hostel accommodation portal, which typically opens after school fees have been paid. Key points for prospective and returning students:
- Only students who have completed payment of their session’s school registration fees are eligible to apply for hostel accommodation.
- Bed spaces are limited, and allocation follows a first-come, first-served basis.
- The exact hostel fee amount for 2026/2027 has not been officially published at the time of this writing. Confirm current rates on the AKUM hostel portal once it opens for the session.
Important Notes for Students
- School fees are paid strictly through the official AKUM student portal; avoid third-party agents or unofficial payment channels.
- Payment is typically structured in two tranches: the first during registration in the first semester, and the balance before the second semester begins.
- Keep evidence of every payment, as proof is required for faculty verification and course registration.
- Fees are subject to review by the university management, so always confirm the current amount before paying, even if you have seen figures from a previous session.
- Outstanding registration fees can affect a student’s ability to sit for examinations, so students should clear all charges promptly within the deadlines announced by the university.
