Here’s a concise guide to Lagos State University (LASU) admission screening. If you’re aiming for LASU, these are the typical steps and considerations. Note that details can change by year, so always verify on LASU’s official site or admissions portal.

Who needs screening
Most candidates seeking admission through the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) or the Direct Entry (DE) route will undergo a screening exercise.
LASU also runs post-UTME style screenings in some years, so confirm if your session uses UTME results only or adds a screening stage.
Key components of LASU admission screening
Application/Registration
You must apply through LASU’s admissions portal within the designated application window.
Provide personal details, O’level results, UTME/DE information, and other required documents.
O’level results
Submitting WAEC/NECO/NABTEB results with the required credit passes (usually English, Mathematics, and other subject prerequisites) is essential.
Ensure results are complete and verifiable; unofficial results may not be accepted.
UTME/DE requirements
UTME: You must have a valid UTME result with a suitable subject combination for your chosen program.
DE: Provide credentials for non-UTME entry, such as A-levels, ND/HND, and 2 or more A-level passes or other LASU-approved qualifications.
Post-application screening
Document verification: Your submitted credentials (WAEC/NECO, birth certificate, O’level copies) may be verified.
Passport photograph: Recent photo submission is typically required.
Screening exam or questionnaire: Some sessions include a computer-based test (CBT) or a screening questionnaire covering aptitude, general knowledge, and program-specific basics.
Interview (less common for all programs, but possible for certain faculties or competitive programs).
Required documents (typical list; confirm current year)
LASU admission screening invite or login details
UTME/DE examination result slip (your score)
O’level results (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) with at least five credit passes including English and Mathematics
Birth certificate or age declaration
Certificate/document for DE (if applicable)
Means of identification (e.g., National ID, passport)
Passport photograph and signature
JAMB/UTME registration number and ePIN (for UTME)
Any program-specific requirements (e.g., portfolio for certain courses, transcripts for DE)
Important dates and logistics
Application window: Open and close dates vary by year; LASU usually publicizes them a few months before the screening.
Screening date: Often scheduled after the application window; can be a single-day event or spread over days, at LASU main campus or designated centers.
Results/status: Screening outcomes are typically released online. Admittance to the next stage or admission offer follows based on merit, course capacity, and verification results.
Preparation tips
Start early: Gather all required documents and verify them for accuracy.
Check program prerequisites: Some faculties require specific subjects in your O’levels or UTME subject combinations.
Ensure consistency: Names on all documents must match exactly.
Practice for CBT (if applicable): If a screening exam includes questions, review general aptitude and current affairs relevant to your course.
Monitor official channels: LASU's admissions portal, LASU Facebook/Twitter pages, and the Lagos State University official website for announcements and updates.
Common mistakes to avoid
Missing required documents or incorrect personal data
Incomplete or mismatched O’level results
