Is the LASU admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session out? How can I check my name on the Lagos State University portal? What should I do if my status is still showing “Admission in Progress”? If YES, this article contains the full information you need.
The wait is finally over! The management of Lagos State University (LASU) has started releasing the names of candidates who have been offered provisional admission for this academic session. We know how stressful it is to wait for admission updates, but the good news is that you can now check your status directly from your phone. Let us look at the requirements, cut off marks, and how to check the LASU admission list without making any mistakes.
LASU Admission Requirements and Cut Off Marks
Before your name can appear on the LASU admission list, you must meet the strict entry guidelines set by the institution. LASU is highly competitive, so they use a rigid screening system to select the best candidates.
Here are the basic requirements you must meet:
-
JAMB Score: You must score 185 and above in the 2026 UTME to be eligible for the LASU admission list. Professional courses like Medicine, Nursing, and Law require much higher scores (usually 240 to 260+).
-
O’Level Credits: You need at least five (5) credit passes in relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, in your WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB.
-
Sitting Combination: LASU accepts a maximum of two sittings for O’Level results. However, candidates with one sitting always have an advantage on the merit list.
-
Age Limit: You must be at least 16 years old by the time the university starts its freshman registration.
Who Is Qualified to See Their Name on the Admission List?
Meeting the general cut off mark is good, but it does not automatically guarantee that you will see your name on the LASU admission list.
To be fully eligible for selection, you must have completed the following:
-
You must have chosen Lagos State University as your first-choice institution during your JAMB registration or through a change of institution.
-
You must have participated in the online Post-UTME screening and cleared the Lagos State Central Admission Screening System (LACACA).
-
Your O’Level grades must perfectly match the required subjects for the specific course you applied for.
-
You must have uploaded your WAEC or NECO results directly to the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).

LASU School Fees and Clearance Procedures
Congratulations to everyone who made it to the LASU admission list! The next immediate step is to pay your acceptance fee and complete your final LACACA clearance.
- Acceptance Fee Payment: Log into the LASU student portal to generate your official Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) invoice. Candidates are required to pay a non-refundable acceptance fee of N20,000 (this amount can change, so always check your invoice). You can pay online with your ATM card or at any commercial bank branch.
- LACACA Final Screening: After paying the acceptance fee, your LACACA dashboard will open for final verification. You will upload your original birth certificate, local government identification letter, and O’Level scratch card details. Once the system clears you, it will automatically generate your official LASU Matriculation Number.
- School Fees Payment: Your school fees will be calculated based on your department and state of origin (Lagos indigenes usually pay a slightly lower rate for certain programmes). Generate the invoice from your new student profile and pay via the university’s approved channels.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Is the LASU admission list for 2026 out?
Yes, the school management has started releasing the names of successful candidates in successive batches (Merit, Catchment, and Supplementary lists).
What should I do if my JAMB CAPS is showing “Admission in Progress”?
If your status shows “Admission in Progress” (AIP), it means LASU has recommended you for admission and JAMB is currently verifying your credentials. Do not panic; your chances are very high. Just keep checking back within a few days.
Can I get into LASU if I scored 170 in JAMB?
No, you cannot. The official institutional cut off mark for LASU is 185. If your score is below 185, you should change your first choice to another university or a polytechnic before the admission window closes.
Does LASU accept two sittings for O’Level results?
Yes, LASU accepts the combination of two sittings (e.g., WAEC + NECO or WAEC + WAEC) for most courses, except for Medicine and Surgery, which strictly require one sitting.
Why is my name not on the LASU admission list despite scoring high?
If you have a high score but you were not shortlisted, it could be due to a wrong UTME subject combination, failure to upload your O’Level result on JAMB CAPS, or your LACACA screening status showing “Rejected” due to data mismatch.
Conclusion
Finding your name on the LASU admission list is a huge achievement because thousands of students applied for the exact same course you chose. If you followed all the guidelines we shared above, just relax and keep checking your portal as the school uploads more names.
