KHALIFA ISYAKU RABIU UNIVERSITY, KANO (KHAIRUN) ANNOUNCES TUITION FEE PAYMENT POLICY FOR 2026/2027 SESSION

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

The policy affects all students with unpaid fees from previous academic sessions, as well as those preparing to register for the new session.

According to the University Management, the measures follow several academic sessions during which flexibility was exercised 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, including cases where written undertakings to settle the debts had not been fulfilled.

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

1. Settlement of Outstanding Fees

All students with outstanding tuition 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.

Students affected by this directive are advised to review their outstanding balances and make the necessary payments before proceeding with registration.

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 arrangements to ensure that the required payments are made on time.

3. First-Semester Examination Requirement

The University Management has stated that 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 their first-semester examinations.

Students are therefore encouraged to meet the minimum payment requirement before the examinations.

4. Second-Semester Examination Requirement

For the second-semester examinations, students are required to have paid 100% of their total chargeable fees for the 2026/2027 academic session.

Students who fail to meet this requirement may not be permitted to sit for their second-semester examinations.

KHAIRUN Addresses Students Facing Financial Difficulties

The Management clarified that the new measures are intended to promote financial discipline and ensure the University's continued delivery of 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 students facing genuine financial hardship, subject to approved procedures.

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