Lagos State University Admission List Released – Finally, the suspense is over for thousands of applicants who chose Lagos State University (LASU) as their preferred institution. The management of LASU has officially published the 2025/2026 admission list, and prospective students can now check their admission status through the JAMB CAPS portal and later confirm on the LASU portal.
For many candidates, this is more than just a list, it’s the result of sleepless nights, endless prayers, and months of anticipation. The release of an admission list is always a defining moment because it determines who will be part of the next academic session.
This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about LASU’s 2025/2026 admission list from where to check, how to confirm, what to do after securing admission, and important advice for those still waiting.
What the LASU Admission List Represents
The admission list contains the names of candidates who have been granted provisional admission into various undergraduate programmes for the 2025/2026 academic year. Being on this list means you have successfully met the requirements set by both JAMB and LASU for your chosen course of study.
However, admission at LASU comes in stages. Some names appear on the first batch, while others are listed in subsequent updates. This is why it is crucial to keep checking both the JAMB CAPS and LASU portals regularly.
How to Check LASU Admission on JAMB CAPS
At this point, JAMB CAPS (Central Admission Processing System) remains the first place to confirm your admission status. Here’s how to do it step by step:
- Access the official JAMB e-Facility portal.
- Enter your JAMB email address and password to sign in.
- Navigate down the page and select “Check Admission Status.”
- Select the year (2025) and enter your JAMB Registration Number.
- Click “Access my CAPS”.
- On the menu, tap Admission Status to view your current standing.
If LASU has offered you admission, you will see a message such as “Congratulations, you have been offered admission into Lagos State University.”
If you still see “Not Admitted” or “Admission in Progress,” don’t panic. Admission is released in batches, so your status might change soon. Many candidates see updates within days or weeks of the first release.
Steps to Take After Securing Admission
Once you confirm that LASU has admitted you, there are immediate steps you must take to secure your spot:
- Accept or Reject the Offer on JAMB CAPS
- On the CAPS dashboard, choose either Accept or Reject admission.
- Alternatively, you can send ACCEPT or REJECT as an SMS to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
- Print Your JAMB Admission Letter
- After accepting, go back to the JAMB portal and print your admission letter. This document is important for clearance, registration, and NYSC in the future.
- Pay Attention to LASU Announcements
- Acceptance on JAMB CAPS is just one step. The school will later activate its portal for confirmation and other admission processes.
How to Confirm Admission on LASU Portal
After JAMB CAPS reflects your admission, the next step is to verify it directly through the LASU admission portal. Here’s the process:
- Access the official LASU admission portal.
- Enter your JAMB Registration Number (use CAPITAL letters).
- Enter your surname as required.
- Hit the “Submit” button to access your personal dashboard.
- Check your admission status and proceed with further instructions such as acceptance fee payment and clearance guidelines.
This step is essential because LASU uses its portal to finalize the admission process and communicate next steps to students.
For Candidates Not Yet Admitted
If you checked JAMB CAPS or the LASU portal and didn’t see your name, don’t lose hope. Here are some important things to note:
- Admission Comes in Batches: LASU doesn’t release all names at once. Be patient and keep checking both platforms.
- Eligibility Issues: Ensure you met the required departmental cut-off marks and screening requirements.
- Stay Updated: Regularly visit LASU’s official website and JAMB CAPS to avoid missing any update.
Many students who initially see “Not Admitted” often find their names on later lists. Persistence and patience are key.
Advice for Newly Admitted Students
Congratulations to everyone who has already secured admission into LASU for the 2025/2026 academic year. Now that you’re officially a LASU student (in waiting), here are important things to keep in mind:
- Acceptance Fee: Pay your acceptance fee on time once the portal opens. Delay can lead to forfeiture of admission.
- Document Verification: Start gathering necessary documents such as your birth certificate, WAEC/NECO/NABTEB results, JAMB admission letter, and recent passport photographs. These will be needed for clearance.
- Accommodation Plans: If you intend to stay in the school hostel or off-campus, begin making arrangements early to avoid last-minute stress.
- Academic Preparation: University life is different from secondary school; start preparing mentally for lectures, assignments, and deadlines.
- Stay Informed: Join LASU student groups online for real-time updates about registration, orientation, and departmental schedules.
