The screening exercise will be conducted in four phases between April 27 and May 22, 2026, across designated centres linked to the various divisions of Lagos State.

Candidates from Ikeja and Badagry divisions are to appear at the New TETFund Building, Faculty of Arts, while Ikorodu division candidates will be screened at the Law Clinic, Faculty of Law. Lagos division candidates are expected at the International Business Class, MBA Building, while Epe division candidates will be screened at the School of Transport and Logistics.

The university also stated that applicants from previous admission sessions who were not offered admission can revalidate their existing indigeneship clearance certificates online with payment.

In addition, all Direct Entry applicants of Lagos State origin are required to participate in the exercise before they can be considered for admission.

LASU warned candidates against making payments through unauthorized channels, stressing that all payments must be made only through the official university portal.
