Is LASU Admission List for 2026/2027 Out?
The LASU admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session is the official list of candidates who have been offered provisional admission into various undergraduate programmes at Lagos State University.
Candidates who applied for LASU admission are advised to check their admission status through the official LASU admission portal and JAMB CAPS. In many cases, admission lists are released in batches, so candidates should not panic if their names do not appear immediately.
LASU may release the admission list in different stages, such as merit list, supplementary list, Direct Entry list, JUPEB list, and final batch. This means that if your admission status is still showing “Not Admitted,” you may still have a chance if the admission process is ongoing.
What Is LASU Admission List?
The LASU admission list is a list of candidates who have been considered and offered provisional admission into Lagos State University for a particular academic session.
The list is usually based on several factors, including JAMB score, O’level result, screening score, course requirements, available admission quota, and the candidate’s chosen programme.
Being admitted means LASU has considered you qualified for admission into a course. However, the admission remains provisional until you accept it on JAMB CAPS, complete the required clearance, pay necessary fees, and follow all registration instructions given by the university.

The admission list is mainly for candidates who applied for Lagos State University admission through any of the approved entry routes.

Direct Entry candidates who applied through JAMB
JUPEB candidates seeking admission into LASU
Candidates who completed the LASU online screening exercise

Why Your LASU Admission Status May Still Show Not Admitted
If your LASU admission status is still showing “Not Admitted,” it does not always mean you have lost admission. Admission may still be in progress, especially if the university is releasing the list in batches.
Your admission may be delayed because of any of the following reasons:
Your O’level result has not been uploaded on JAMB CAPS
Your course is highly competitive
You did not meet the required cut-off point for your course
Your screening result is still being processed
Your details have not been fully updated
You may be considered in another batch
Your course may have limited admission space
If your status is not yet admitted, keep checking both the LASU portal and JAMB CAPS regularly.
What Does “Admission in Progress” Mean?
If your JAMB CAPS shows “Admission in Progress,” it means your admission is being processed. This is usually a positive sign, but you still need to keep checking until the status changes to “Admitted.”
Do not panic when you see this message. Just continue checking your portal and make sure your O’level result is properly uploaded.
What Does “Not Admitted” Mean?
“Not Admitted” means you have not been offered admission yet. However, it may not be final if the admission process is still ongoing.
You should keep checking because LASU may release more lists. Also, confirm that your details are correct and that you meet the admission requirements for your course.
Can LASU Change a Candidate’s Course?
Yes, LASU may offer a candidate admission into another course if the candidate does not meet the requirement for the original course but qualifies for another available programme.
If you are offered a different course, check the course carefully before accepting it. If you are comfortable with the course, you can accept it on JAMB CAPS and continue with the registration process.
