How much is LASU's post-UTME application fee?

LASU's post-UTME application fee for the 2026/2027 cycle is approximately ₦2,500, paid via Remita. The fee is non-refundable, even if the application is later abandoned or rejected. Banks, USSD, debit card and online banking are all standard payment routes. Confirm the exact figure on LASU's official screening Portal before paying.

What JAMB score do I need to apply to LASU?

LASU's institutional cut-off for 2026/2027 is 170, and that is the minimum UTME score to be eligible to apply. The course-specific cut-off, which decides admission, is set above that figure for competitive programmes. A realistic target for a candidate applying to LASU is the course-specific cut-off plus a margin, not just the institutional 170. The course-by-course cut-offs are on the main LASU institution page.

What documents do I need for LASU's post-UTME screening?

For LASU's post-UTME you typically need: the JAMB UTME result slip, your JAMB profile code, your JAMB registration number, your O'Level result (WAEC or NECO), a recent passport photograph (white background, JPEG, under 200KB), and the means of payment for the application fee through Remita. Some faculties at LASU also require a state-of-origin or local-government certificate. Confirm the exact list on the official screening Portal before screening day.

Is LASU's post-UTME a CBT, paper test, or interview?

LASU's post-UTME for 2026/2027 is administered as a Computer-Based Test (CBT). Candidates are assigned a centre and a time slot through the portal once payment is confirmed.

Helper guide to Lagos State University's screening Portal for the 2026/2027 admission cycle. Registration, fee, document checklist and step-by-step application walkthrough.

What LASU's screening Portal is

LASU's screening Portal is the institution-level application system through which Lagos State University screens candidates who selected LASU in JAMB and met the institutional cut-off mark. It is separate from the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) and from the JAMB main portal — those handle the national UTME registration and the final admission offer, while the screening Portal sits in between, handling LASU's own screening of eligible candidates. All UTME candidates who chose LASU as a first or second choice and met LASU's institutional cut-off of 170 for 2026/2027 are eligible to apply through this portal.

How to access the screening Portal

The official screening Portal for LASU sits at https://services.lidc.lasu.edu.ng/admissionscreening/. Open the URL directly in your browser — typing it from the address bar is safer than searching Google for the portal name, since malicious lookalike sites sometimes rank above the genuine one during the busy admission window. Bookmark the URL on your phone and laptop on the first visit so you can return without retyping. If the page does not load or shows an error, check LASU's main site at https://lasu.edu.ng for a current portal URL — institutions occasionally move the screening platform to a new sub-domain.

2026/2027 application window

LASU has not yet publicly confirmed the 2026/2027 screening Portal window at the time of writing. Most Nigerian universities open post-UTME applications between June and August, with screening through August and September. Check LASU's official website weekly during this window, and watch JAMB's official channels and LASU's social media for the dates announcement.

Documents and information you will need

To complete the LASU post-UTME application you need: an active JAMB-registered email address and phone number; your JAMB profile code (the four-digit code sent by SMS when you TEXT 'TOKEN' to 55019); your JAMB UTME result slip (printed or PDF); a 2026 UTME score above LASU's institutional cut-off of 170; a recent passport photograph on a white background, saved as JPEG, under 200KB; your O'Level result from WAEC, NECO or NABTEB (original or web printout); and a means of payment for the ₦2,500 application fee through Remita. Some faculties at LASU ask for a state-of-origin or local-government certificate at the point of screening.

Step-by-step application guide

Visit the official screening Portal at https://services.lidc.lasu.edu.ng/admissionscreening/. Open the official screening Portal at https://services.lidc.lasu.edu.ng/admissionscreening/ in your browser. Bookmark it before doing anything else — many candidates land on lookalike scam sites by searching the portal name on Google.
Click 'New Applicants' or 'Register'. Click the 'New Applicants' or 'Register' link on the portal home page. The terminology varies between institutions; both options lead to the same starting point.
Enter your JAMB registration number. Enter your JAMB UTME registration number. The portal pulls your bio-data and 2026 UTME score directly from JAMB's records.
Confirm your bio-data matches your JAMB record. Review the pre-filled name, date of birth and state of origin. If anything is wrong, fix it through JAMB's profile correction process before continuing — LASU will not admit a candidate whose LASU record contradicts their JAMB record.
Generate a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR). Click 'Generate RRR' or 'Pay Application Fee' to create a Remita Retrieval Reference. The RRR is a unique payment code tied to your application.
Pay the application fee via Remita. Pay ₦2,500 via bank counter, USSD, debit card or internet banking using the RRR. Keep the payment receipt — it is your proof if reconciliation fails.
Return to the portal and verify payment. Return to the screening Portal and click 'Verify Payment' or refresh the application page. Bank reconciliation usually completes within 5-30 minutes; allow up to 24 hours during peak load.
Complete the application form. Fill in the application form: course choice (must match the choice you made at JAMB or LASU's change-of-course rules), O'Level subjects and grades, and any institutional fields LASU adds.
Upload your passport photograph. Upload a recent passport photograph: white background, JPEG format, under 200KB. If the upload fails, compress the image with a free tool such as Photopea or any browser-based image compressor.
Print your application slip. Print or save the application slip as PDF. It carries your application reference number, your scheduled screening date (where applicable) and the centre assignment.
Wait for screening date or admission announcement. LASU either announces a screening date and centre on the portal, or releases the admission list directly through CAPS once screening is complete. Check the screening Portal and your JAMB CAPS profile every few days.

Common LASU screening Portal problems and how to fix them

Portal will not load. The screening Portal runs under heavy load during peak application days. Try off-peak hours (5-8am Nigerian time) for the fastest experience. Use mobile data if your Wi-Fi is unstable, and avoid public Wi-Fi networks which sometimes block long-running sessions.
JAMB registration number not found. Confirm that your 2026 UTME results have actually been released. If your result is withheld or you are scheduled for the JAMB make-up examination, the LASU portal cannot pull your profile until JAMB releases the score. Check your JAMB profile on the JAMB portal first.
Payment confirmed but portal still says unpaid. Bank reconciliation usually completes within 5-30 minutes but can take up to 24 hours during peak load. If the issue persists after 24 hours, visit the LASU admissions office in person with the Remita payment receipt and your bank transaction reference.
Forgot password or registered email is inactive. Use the portal's password reset link first. If the reset email never arrives because the registered address is dead, you may need to visit LASU's admissions office in person with photo ID and JAMB result slip to reset access manually.
Photograph upload fails. The photograph must be in JPEG format, under 200KB, on a white background. Use a free tool such as Photopea (browser-based, no install needed) or any image compressor to bring the file size below the limit before retrying the upload.
