Lagos State University (LASU) has officially released the admission list for the 2025/2026 academic session. This list contains the names of all candidates who sat for the Post UTME screening exercise at the university and met the cut off mark for their applied courses and programmes.

It is also important to know that being on the LASU admission list is just the first step in becoming a student. After confirming your name, you must complete the remaining compulsory steps to ensure your admission process is sealed and complete.
