Are you applying to Lagos State University (LASU) for the 2025/2026 academic session?
If you’ve already obtained your LASU admission screening form, congratulations! That’s a great first step. But your journey doesn’t stop there. There are still some very important things you need to do if you want to gain admission into LASU.
This guide will explain all the steps you need to take after buying and filling the LASU screening form. Everything is explained in a simple way, so even if you’re new to the process, you’ll understand what to do next.
1. Make Sure Your Course Matches on JAMB Portal
Why this matters:
When filling out your LASU screening form, the course you pick must be the same as the one you selected on your JAMB portal. If both courses don’t match, it may cause problems with your admission.
What to do:
-
Go to the JAMB Portal.
-
Log in using your email and password.
-
Check the course you selected in JAMB.
-
Now check the course you selected in the LASU screening form.
-
If both are the same, great!
-
If they are different, you need to do a change of course on JAMB as soon as possible.
Note: If you don’t correct the course mismatch, your admission may not be processed.
2. Upload Your O’Level Result on JAMB CAPS
This step is very important!
If your O’level result (like WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB) is not uploaded on JAMB CAPS, LASU will not offer you admission, even if you score well in the screening.
How to check if your O’level is on JAMB CAPS:
Follow these easy steps:
-
Login with your JAMB email and password.
Example:-
Email: your email used for JAMB
-
Password: your JAMB password (cand**1234)
-
-
After login, scroll down and click “Check Admission Status”.
-
On the next page, click “Access My CAPS”.
-
Once the CAPS page opens, click “My O’Level”.
If you see “AR” (Awaiting Result), it means your O’level is not uploaded. You need to go to a JAMB-accredited CBT center or the place where you registered your JAMB and upload your result.
Note: Both UTME and Direct Entry (DE) candidates must upload their O’level result.
3. What If You Used Awaiting Result (AR) During JAMB Registration?
Some students choose “Awaiting Result” because their WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB result wasn’t ready when they registered for JAMB. If that’s your case, don’t worry—you can still gain admission. But you must upload your result as soon as it’s out.
Steps to take:
-
When your result is released, go to a JAMB-accredited center.
-
Request to upload your result to JAMB CAPS.
-
After uploading, log into JAMB CAPS and confirm it is there.
-
If you have already submitted your LASU screening form, you will also need to update your result on the LASU portal.
-
LASU allows candidates to correct or update their information using a data correction link (FEES MAY BE ATTACHED).
Important: If you don’t update your result, you won’t be considered for admission—even if you scored high in JAMB.
4. Special Steps for Direct Entry (DE) Candidates
Direct Entry candidates are students who already have a higher qualification (like NCE, OND, HND, A-level) and want to enter LASU without starting from 100 level.
If you applied through Direct Entry, there are extra steps you must take.
What to do after screening registration:
After successfully submitting your LASU screening form, you need to take your documents physically to LASU’s main campus at Ojo.
Documents to Submit at the Admission Office:
-
LASU Screening Slip (print this after your screening registration)
-
LASU Screening Payment Receipt
-
Your NCE, OND, HND, or A-Level Result
-
Your O’level Result (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB)
Make sure the copies are clear and well printed, and take both originals and photocopies when visiting the school.
Office Location: LASU Admission Office, Ojo Campus
Try to submit early. Don’t wait until the deadline.
5. Monitor Your Admission on JAMB CAPS and LASU Portal
After completing all the above steps, it’s time to wait and watch. But don’t relax too much. You still have work to do.
How to Monitor Your Admission:
On JAMB CAPS:
-
Login and go to “Access My CAPS”
-
Check your Admission Status
-
When offered admission, click “Accept” quickly.
On LASU Portal:
-
Enter your JAMB registration number to check updates
-
Print your admission letter when given
6. Things You Must Avoid
Here are some common mistakes that can ruin your admission chances:
Not uploading O’level result
Choosing a different course on JAMB and LASU
Not submitting Direct Entry documents
Ignoring JAMB CAPS
Submitting incomplete documents
Using the wrong email or password on JAMB portal
Always double-check everything you do. Admission is a serious process. One small mistake can cost you a whole year.
7. When Will Admission Start?
LASU will start offering admission a few weeks after the screening process is completed. The admission list is usually released in batches. This means:
-
First batch, Second batch ,Third batch e.t.c
Be patient and keep checking the portal regularly. Make sure your phone number and email are working because you may get messages or emails from JAMB or LASU.
8. What to Do After Getting Admission
Once you’re offered admission by LASU and JAMB:
Congratulations! You can now begin your registration as a new student.
Your next steps:
