LASU 2025/2026 Admission Guidelines: O’Level Requirements, Screening Process & Important Dates for All Courses
If you’re aspiring to secure admission into Lagos State University (LASU) for the 2025/2026 academic session, it’s essential to understand the requirements and processes involved. LASU remains one of Nigeria’s leading institutions, offering a diverse range of undergraduate programmes across various faculties. Below is a comprehensive guide to help you prepare for the online screening and increase your chances of successful admission.
O’Level Requirements for LASU Admission
All candidates applying for any course at LASU who wish to combine two sittings of O’Level results must ensure they have at least six (6) credit passes, which must include:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Three (3) other relevant subjects related to the chosen course
- Any other subject
These core subjects form the backbone of eligibility for most courses. However, candidates should always confirm the specific subject requirements for their desired course.
Special Requirements for Certain Courses
Some LASU courses have additional requirements. For instance:
- Aeronautic and Astronautic Engineering requires a credit pass in Further Mathematics.
Always consult the JAMB eBrochure for accurate subject combinations for your course of choice.
English Language is Compulsory
It’s important to note that credit in English Language is compulsory for admission into all courses at LASU. Without it, candidates will not be considered for admission, even if they meet other criteria.
Uploading O’Level Results on JAMB CAPS
All candidates must upload their O’Level results on JAMB CAPS before the screening exercise ends. Failure to do so can disqualify you from consideration, even if you meet every other requirement.
To confirm your O’Level upload status or update your records, visit the official JAMB website.
Verification for Candidates of Lagos State Origin
Candidates who claim Lagos State as their state of origin must have their claims verified by the Independent Indigeneship Verification Committee (IIVC) established by LASU. This verification ensures that only genuine indigenes benefit from any reserved admission considerations.
During the online screening process, your indigene status will be automatically validated. Candidates should ensure all documents proving their Lagos State origin are authentic and complete.
Validity of O’Level Results
Candidates should note that any O’Level examination taken after July 2025 will not be acceptable for the 2025/2026 LASU admission exercise. Ensure your examination dates fall within acceptable periods to avoid disqualification.
