LASPOTECH School Fees for ND Students (2026/2027)
ND students usually feel the impact of school fees the most, especially freshers. Why? Because your first year comes with many one-time charges that won’t repeat again.
Let’s split it properly
ND I (Freshers)
If you’re just getting admitted into LASPOTECH as an ND I student, this section is for you.
Acceptance-Related Payments
First things first, acceptance fee.
This is basically LASPOTECH saying:
“Congrats on the admission. Are you accepting it or not?”
For ND I students, the acceptance fee is usually around ₦15,000.
Once you pay this, you’re officially locking down your admission.

School Fees Components for ND I
Here’s where many students get confused. ND I fees are not just “school fees” they are a bundle of several charges combined.
Typical ND I school fees include:
Tuition & academic charges
Faculty and departmental dues
Library and ICT charges
Examination and registration fees
On average, ND I school fees range between ₦20,000 – ₦30,000, depending on your department.
Medical, ID Card, Portal & Departmental Charges
Now, this is the part many blogs skip, but students feel it in their pockets.
As a fresher, you’ll also pay for:
Medical screening (mandatory for fresh students)
Student ID card
Portal and online registration access
Departmental and faculty levies
These are mostly one-time payments, which is why ND I feels more expensive than ND II.
Think of it like moving into a new apartment, once you buy certain things, you won’t buy them again next year.
ND II (Returning Students)
Good news?
ND II is cheaper.
Why? Because many fees you paid in ND I no longer apply.
Reduced Charges
As an ND II student:
No acceptance fee
No medical screening fee
No new ID card payment
You’re basically just paying for:
Core academic fees
Departmental charges
Exams and registration
This is why ND II fees are usually lower, often starting from ₦17,000 – ₦25,000, depending on your course.
What Fees No Longer Apply After ND I
By ND II, you’re already in the system, so LASPOTECH doesn’t need to:
Re-screen you medically
Issue a new student ID
Charge you onboarding fees
That’s why returning students always pay less.
LASPOTECH School Fees for HND Students (2026/2027)
Now let’s talk about HND, where things change slightly.
HND I
HND I students are treated like freshers again, even if you studied ND in LASPOTECH.
Why? New programme, new records.
Fresh HND Charges vs ND
As an HND I student, you’ll pay:
Acceptance fee (around ₦15,000)
Tuition and academic fees
Departmental and faculty charges
HND fees are usually slightly higher than ND, often falling between ₦27,000 – ₦30,500, depending on whether you’re a diplomate or non-diplomate.
Project-Related & Professional Fees
Some HND departments include:
Professional accreditation fees
Practical or workshop charges
Project supervision deposits
This is common in courses like:
Engineering
Science & Technology
Business-related programmes
HND II
Final year
Final Year-Specific Charges
HND II students often pay for:
Project assessment and supervision
Final examinations
Departmental clearance
These fees are usually one-time and final, which is why HND II costs can feel heavier than expected.
Clearance & Graduation-Related Costs
Toward the end of HND II, expect charges for:
Clearance processing
Convocation and graduation
Certificate documentation
These aren’t always paid at once, but they are part of your final year expenses.
Departmental Differences in LASPOTECH School Fees
One important thing many students don’t realize is that not all departments pay the same fees.
For example:
Engineering and Science-based courses often pay more due to labs and equipment
Business and Arts-related courses usually pay less
This is why LASPOTECH advises students to always:
Check their departmental breakdown on the school portal
Other Important Fees LASPOTECH Students Pay
Aside from core school fees, students may also pay:
Late registration penalties
Course repeat fees
Carryover or extra credit charges
Departmental association dues
Late payment especially can attract additional penalties, so timing matters.
