KHAIRUN ANNOUNCES TUITION FEE PAYMENT POLICY AND DEADLINES FOR OUTSTANDING BALANCES FOR 2026/2027 SESSION

The Management of Khalifa Isyaku Rabiu University, Kano (KHAIRUN), has announced its policy on tuition fee payments and the settlement of outstanding balances for the 2026/2027 academic session.

The directive applies to all students, parents, guardians and other stakeholders of the university.

According to the management, the university had exercised considerable flexibility in enforcing fee payment requirements over the past three academic sessions to give parents and guardians more time to meet their financial obligations amid prevailing economic challenges.

However, at the end of the 2025/2026 academic session, many students still had outstanding balances. Some of these included cases where written undertakings to settle the outstanding fees had not been fulfilled.

While acknowledging the financial difficulties faced by some families, the university explained that timely payment of approved fees is necessary to sustain quality teaching, student support services, facilities and effective academic delivery.

Consequently, the university has approved the following measures for the settlement of outstanding balances and payment of fees for the 2026/2027 academic session.

1. Settlement of Outstanding Balances

All students with outstanding fees from the 2023/2024, 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 academic sessions are required to clear their balances before completing registration for the 2026/2027 academic session.

2. Full Payment of 2026/2027 Academic Session Fees

All students are expected to pay 100% of their approved chargeable fees for the 2026/2027 academic session.

Parents and guardians are advised to make adequate financial plans to ensure that the required payments are made on time.

3. First-Semester Examination Requirement

Students who have not paid at least 50% of their total chargeable fees for the 2026/2027 academic session may not be permitted to sit for the first-semester examinations.

4. Second-Semester Examination Requirement

Students who have not paid 100% of their total chargeable fees for the 2026/2027 academic session may not be permitted to sit for the second-semester examinations.

University Explains Reason for the New Policy

The Management emphasised that the measures are intended to promote financial discipline and ensure the university can continue providing quality academic services. It stated that the policy is not designed to punish students or disregard genuine financial difficulties.

The university also assured stakeholders that reasonable and compassionate arrangements would continue to be considered for genuine cases of financial hardship, subject to approved procedures.

Advice to Parents, Guardians and Students

Parents and guardians are urged to honour their financial commitments and previous undertakings. Students are also encouraged to engage their sponsors early to ensure compliance with the approved payment requirements.

The Management of Khalifa Isyaku Rabiu University solicits the understanding and cooperation of all stakeholders in implementing the policy for the benefit of the university and its students.
