Rivers State University has announced the acceptance fee and payment method for the 2025/2026 session. Newly admitted students should pay through the official portal and complete their clearance process promptly. Read below for all details and steps.

The excitement of seeing your name on the Rivers State University admission list is something else. That small click that confirms your admission can make even the calmest person shout. But before you start celebrating too much, there’s one important step you must take to make your spot official. It’s the acceptance fee.

Think of it as a simple “yes” to the university. Without paying it, your admission isn’t truly yours yet. Every year, some students lose their place just because they didn’t pay early enough. Don’t be that person.

RSU Acceptance Fee Payment Details

The school has fixed the acceptance fee at Fifty Thousand Naira (₦50,000). It’s a one-time payment for all newly admitted students, and it confirms your place at RSU for the 2025/2026 academic session.

To make the payment, follow these steps carefully:

• Visit the official RSU website.
• Generate a transaction ID for your acceptance fee.
• Go to any of the listed banks and pay using the Pay Direct Bank Branch option.
• You can also pay online using your Interswitch Verve or MasterCard.

Once your payment is successful, you’ll need to move on to online clearance before paying your school fees. That’s where things start taking shape.

Make sure you don’t skip this part. The clearance is what officially puts your name on the university’s record.

RSU Clearance and Next Steps

After paying the acceptance fee, head straight for clearance. It’s your first real contact with the university’s system. Here’s what usually comes next:

• Upload and verify your required documents online.
• Get your admission letter ready.
• Present all original credentials during the clearance exercise.

You can check the full guide for this on the RSUST Clearance Requirements page.

It’s not as stressful as it sounds, just make sure all your details match. A small mistake can slow things down, so pay attention to spelling and numbers.

Important Reminder

Don’t delay your payment. If you fail to pay the acceptance fee before the given deadline, your admission offer will be cancelled permanently. No excuses or extensions. RSU is firm about that rule.

So once you confirm your admission, pay up quickly and move on to clearance. It’s better to stay ahead of deadlines than to rush at the last minute.
