How to Check LASU Admission Status (2026)

If you applied to Lagos State University (LASU) and are waiting to know whether you have been offered admission, you can check your admission status online.

LASU admission is closely linked to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) admission process. Candidates should therefore check both their JAMB CAPS admission status and relevant LASU admission portals.

For the 2026/2027 academic session, LASU’s official screening portal requires candidates to use their JAMB registration details to access their admission screening information.

How to Check LASU Admission Status on JAMB CAPS

The easiest way to confirm whether LASU has offered you admission is through the JAMB CAPS portal.

Follow these steps:

Step 1: Visit the JAMB Portal

Go to the official JAMB e-Facility portal and log in with the email address and password connected to your JAMB profile.

Step 2: Access Your JAMB Profile

After logging in, look for the option related to Admission Status or Check Admission Status.

You may need to select the examination year before proceeding.

Step 3: Click on Admission Status

Select Check Admission Status to view the institution that has offered you admission and your current admission status.

If LASU has offered you admission, your JAMB CAPS profile should eventually display the offer.

Step 4: Check Your CAPS

You can also enter the CAPS section of your JAMB profile.

Your status may show something such as:

• Congratulations, you have been offered admission
• Admission in Progress
• Not Admitted

If you have been offered admission, you will normally have the option to Accept or Reject the admission.

What Does “Admission in Progress” Mean?

If your JAMB CAPS shows Admission in Progress, it does not necessarily mean that you have been rejected.

It usually means that your admission is still being processed or that JAMB has not completed the process of updating your admission status.

In this situation, keep checking your CAPS account and LASU’s official admission announcements.

Avoid paying anyone who claims they can “upgrade” or “confirm” your admission for you.

What Does “Not Admitted” Mean?

Seeing Not Admitted does not always mean that your admission opportunity is completely over.

Universities can release admission lists in batches. A candidate who is not admitted in an earlier batch may still be considered in a later batch, depending on the admission process and available spaces.

If LASU has not released the final admission information for your programme, continue checking both JAMB CAPS and official LASU announcements.

How to Check LASU Admission Screening Result

LASU also has its own admission screening portal.

For the 2026/2027 academic session, LASU’s official screening portal allows candidates to log in using their JAMB registration number and surname. (LASU Services)

To check your screening information:

1. Visit the LASU admission screening portal.
2. Select the appropriate candidate category.
3. Enter your JAMB registration number.
4. Enter your surname as it appears on your JAMB profile.
5. Log in to your candidate account.
6. Check your screening information or result when available.

LASU currently lists different categories for UTME, Direct Entry and JUPEB candidates, so make sure you select the correct category. (LASU Services)

LASU Admission Status vs LASU Screening Result

It is important to understand the difference between your screening result and your actual admission status.

Your LASU screening result tells you about your performance or outcome in the university’s admission screening process.

Your JAMB CAPS admission status tells you whether JAMB has officially processed an admission offer for you.

For this reason, getting a good screening result does not automatically mean that your admission has already been finalized.

Candidates should continue checking JAMB CAPS and official LASU updates.

How to Know If LASU Has Given You Admission

There are several signs that your admission has been successfully processed.

The most important one is seeing an admission offer on JAMB CAPS.

If JAMB CAPS shows that you have been offered admission into LASU, carefully check the:

• Institution
• Course of study
• Admission status
• Admission year

If everything is correct, follow the instructions on the JAMB portal to accept the admission.

You should also monitor LASU’s official admission and clearance information after accepting the offer.

What to Do After Accepting LASU Admission

Getting admission is only the beginning of the process.

After accepting your admission through JAMB CAPS, you should regularly check LASU’s official portal for further instructions.

LASU has a Central Admission Clearance portal for admitted undergraduate students. The current portal requires the candidate’s JAMB number and surname to sign in.

Depending on the admission exercise, you may be required to complete clearance, provide documents and pay the applicable fees.

Documents commonly required during university admission and clearance processes may include:

• JAMB admission letter
• JAMB result
• O’Level result
• Birth certificate or declaration of age
• Certificate of origin
• Passport photographs
• LASU screening documents
• Other documents requested by the university

Always follow the specific instructions given to your admission batch.

What If LASU Is Not Showing on JAMB CAPS?

If you have selected LASU as your first-choice institution but your information is not appearing correctly, first confirm that your JAMB details are correct.

LASU’s current admission screening portal states that LASU must be the candidate’s first-choice institution before the screening process can be completed.

If you recently changed your institution to LASU, your details may also take some time to be transferred from JAMB to the university.

LASU’s admission screening FAQ says candidates who have recently changed their first choice to LASU may need to wait before their records become available on the university’s system. (LASU Services)

What If Your Admission Status Has Not Changed?

Do not panic if your status has not changed immediately.

Admission processing can take time, particularly when universities are releasing admission offers in batches.

You should:

1. Check JAMB CAPS regularly.
2. Check the LASU admission portal.
3. Monitor LASU’s official admission announcements.
4. Confirm that your O’Level result has been uploaded to JAMB.
5. Make sure LASU is your first-choice institution.
6. Keep your JAMB registration details safe.

For the 2026/2027 admission exercise, LASU specifically requires candidates to have their O’Level results uploaded to JAMB CAPS and LASU selected as their first choice. (LASU Services)

Can I Check LASU Admission Status With My Phone?

Yes. You do not necessarily need a computer to check your admission status.

You can use a smartphone with an internet connection to:

• Log in to your JAMB profile
• Check JAMB CAPS
• Access the LASU admission screening portal
• Check LASU admission announcements
• Complete other online admission requirements

However, if you need to print documents or complete a process that is easier on a computer, you can use a computer at a trusted business centre or cybercafé.

What You Need to Check LASU Admission Status

Before checking your status, have the following information available:

• JAMB registration number
• JAMB profile login details
• Surname used during registration
• Phone or computer
• Reliable internet connection

For the current LASU screening portal, candidates log in with their JAMB registration number and surname. (LASU Services)
