LAGOS STATE UNIVERSITY REOPENS ONLINE ADMISSION SCREENING EXERCISE FOR THE 2026/2027 ACADEMIC SESSION

The Lagos State University (LASU) has officially reopened its 2026/2027 Online Admission Screening Exercise Portal following the release of the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results.

The decision by the University Management is aimed at providing another opportunity for prospective applicants, particularly candidates who registered with Awaiting Result (AR) during the initial admission screening exercise. These candidates can now upload their newly released O’Level results to complete their admission applications.

In addition, the reopening of the portal will also accommodate candidates who were unable to complete their admission screening registration during the first application window, as well as new applicants who have recently changed or intend to change their first-choice institution to Lagos State University (LASU).

This development is expected to give more qualified candidates the opportunity to participate in the University’s 2026/2027 admission exercise.

Why LASU Reopened the Admission Screening Portal

The release of the 2026 WAEC results has enabled many candidates who previously applied with Awaiting Result (AR) to meet one of the key admission requirements.

To ensure these applicants are not left out of the admission process, LASU has reopened the screening portal to allow them to upload their O’Level results and complete their applications.

The reopening also benefits candidates who experienced technical challenges, payment issues, or other difficulties that prevented them from completing their screening registration during the earlier application period.

Furthermore, candidates who have recently changed their institution of first choice to LASU through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) can now proceed with the University’s online admission screening.

Categories of Candidates Who Should Apply

The reopened admission screening portal is available to the following categories of applicants:

• Candidates who initially applied with Awaiting Result (AR) and now have their 2026 WAEC results.
• Candidates who were unable to complete their online admission screening registration.
• Applicants who encountered issues during the previous registration exercise.
• Candidates who have changed or intend to change their first-choice institution to Lagos State University.
• Other eligible applicants who meet LASU’s admission requirements for the 2026/2027 academic session.

All applicants are encouraged to complete their registration as soon as possible to avoid missing the opportunity.

What Awaiting Result Candidates Should Do

Candidates who registered with Awaiting Result status should immediately log in to the LASU admission portal and upload their newly released WAEC or other acceptable O’Level results.

Applicants should ensure that:

• Their O’Level details are correctly entered.
• All grades are accurately uploaded.
• The uploaded information matches the records available on the examination body’s portal.
• Their JAMB profile reflects the correct O’Level results where applicable.

Providing incorrect or inconsistent information may affect the admission process.

Opportunity for Fresh Applicants

The reopening of the screening portal also creates an opportunity for candidates who have recently changed their institution of choice to LASU.

Prospective applicants who are considering LASU as their preferred institution should ensure they complete the JAMB Change of Institution process before proceeding with the University’s online screening registration.

Candidates must also satisfy the University’s admission requirements, including the prescribed UTME score and O’Level subject combinations for their chosen course of study.

Important Advice to Applicants

Candidates are advised to:

• Complete their admission screening registration without delay.
• Upload only genuine and verifiable academic credentials.
• Carefully review all information before submission.
• Print their acknowledgement slip after successful registration.
• Monitor the official LASU admission portal regularly for updates.

Applicants should avoid patronizing unauthorized individuals who claim they can influence the admission process, as LASU admissions are strictly based on merit and approved admission guidelines.

Why Early Registration Matters

Although the portal has been reopened, candidates should not wait until the last minute to complete their applications.

Early registration allows applicants to:

• Resolve technical or payment issues promptly.
• Correct mistakes before submission.
• Avoid heavy traffic on the admission portal.
• Ensure all required documents are successfully uploaded.

Submitting applications early increases the chances of completing the process smoothly before the portal closes.

Final Thoughts

The reopening of the LASU 2026/2027 Online Admission Screening Exercise Portal is a welcome opportunity for candidates who previously applied with Awaiting Result, those who could not complete their registration, and applicants who have recently chosen Lagos State University as their first-choice institution.

Eligible candidates are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this window by uploading their newly released WAEC results, completing their admission screening registration, and ensuring that all required information is correctly submitted.

Applicants should continue to monitor the official LASU admission portal and JAMB CAPS for further updates on the screening exercise, admission lists, and other important announcements relating to the 2026/2027 academic session.
