(Updated November 2025).

Quick checklist (before you start)

• Valid JAMB registration number and password.
• Active email and phone number used during JAMB and application.
• A working bank card (Visa/Mastercard), USSD, or internet banking for Remita payment.
• Scanned copies (PDF or JPG) of your O’Level result, JAMB result slip, and passport photograph for screening.
• Good internet connection and device (desktop recommended for portal views).

Step 1. Check & accept your admission

A. Check admission on JAMB CAPS

1. Go to the JAMB e-facility portal and Access CAPS (portal.jamb.gov.ng/efacility). Log in with your JAMB credentials.
2. Click Check Admission Status → Access my CAPS → look under Admission Status. If you see “ADMISSION OFFERED” for LASU, proceed to Accept. Do not delay: offers may expire.

B. Accept or reject on CAPS

• On your CAPS dashboard click Accept to keep the offer. If you don’t accept and you want the offer, LOSING it is possible. After accepting on CAPS, proceed to LASU portal steps (payment and screening).

C. If the offer is on the LASU admission portal instead

• Some admission communications require you to login directly to LASU’s admission portal (LASU admission or student services portal) to confirm details. Always cross-check both JAMB CAPS and the LASU admission portal to be sure.

Step 2. Prepare required documents for payment & screening

Before you start payment, have the following ready:

• JAMB registration number.
• Application/Reference number from LASU (if you were given one).
• Valid phone number and email.
• Scanned passport photograph and a copy of your O’Level and JAMB printouts (to upload during screening).
  Note: LASU’s payment portal will ask for identifying information to generate the RRR (Remita Retrieval Reference). Confirm the details carefully on the portal before generating or paying an RRR.

Step 3. Generate payment (RRR / Remita) on LASU e-payment portal — step-by-step

Important: LASU processes school payments using an e-payment system that uses an RRR (Remita Retrieval Reference). The exact menu labels on the portal can change; follow the portal text carefully. The steps below follow LASU’s e-payment flow.

A. Open LASU payment portal

1. Visit LASU’s official student payment/e-services page (use the link on the official LASU site). Always confirm you are on the official LASU domain before entering details.

B. Select the payment type

2. On the LASU payment portal select the correct payment purpose from the list e.g., ADMISSION ACCEPTANCE FEE or similar. Make sure you pick Admission/Acceptance and not other fee categories (like school fees or hostel fees) to avoid incorrect payments.

C. Enter required details

3. Fill in required details exactly: full name, JAMB registration number, application number (if prompted), email, phone number, and any other identification requested by the portal. Double-check spellings and numbers these are used to tie payment to your record.

D. Generate RRR (Remita Retrieval Reference)

4. After you submit, the portal will produce an RRR (a unique payment reference). Copy or save the RRR and the amount to be paid. The portal may offer multiple payment methods (card, bank transfer, USSD, bank deposit).

E. Complete payment using Remita options

5. Use one of the available Remita payment options:
   • Pay Online with Card (Visa/Mastercard) follow the secure Remita card checkout.
   • Bank transfer or internet banking choose your bank and follow the Remita instructions (you may be redirected).
   • USSD / Mobile Bank follow the Remita instruction for your bank’s USSD code.
6. After payment, you will get a payment confirmation and the RRR will be marked PAID. Save the Remita payment receipt (screenshot and PDF).

Note: If you mistakenly pay the wrong category (e.g., general school fee instead of acceptance fee), contact LASU payment support immediately with receipts. Do not assume auto-correction.

Step 4. Complete LASU screening and print admission letter

1. After payment is confirmed, log into the LASU admission/screening portal (the same portal or the Screening page indicated by LASU). Use the reference number or your application number to access your screening status.
2. Upload required documents (scanned O’Level, JAMB, photo) if the portal requests them. Ensure files meet size and format rules.
3. Complete any online screening forms, confirm course/department, and submit.
4. When LASU accepts your payment and validates documents, you will be able to print your admission letter and any further registration forms (clearance, medical forms, departmental registration instructions). Keep both a soft copy and a printed copy.

Common problems and fixes

• RRR generated but payment not showing as PAID: Wait 10–30 minutes, then check Remita transaction history and the LASU portal. If still pending after 1 hour, contact your bank and LASU support (provide RRR and payment receipt).
• Wrong fee category paid: Immediately contact LASU finance or payment support with the receipt and RRR. Keep evidence (screenshots, emails).
• Portal shows errors on upload: Resize images to the maximum allowed (often 200–500 KB), convert to JPG/PDF, or use desktop for uploads.
• Offer shows on LASU portal but not on JAMB CAPS: Accept on CAPS first. If problem persists, contact LASU admission office with your JAMB printout and LASU application reference.

Expert tips (safety & speed)

• Always check that the URL is an official LASU domain before entering data. Bookmark the official LASU payment page.
• Use a desktop browser in desktop mode when accessing JAMB CAPS or LASU portal for the full interface.
• Save screenshots of every step: the RRR page, Remita payment confirmation, and final LASU screening confirmation. These are your proof if anything goes wrong.
• Avoid paying via unofficial agents unless you can verify them. Use official bank or Remita channels.
• If you must visit campus offices, take originals of all documents and show the receipts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. How much is the LASU acceptance fee?
A1. The acceptance fee amount can change each session. LASU displays the exact amount on the e-payment page when you choose Admission Acceptance Fee and generate your RRR. Always confirm the amount on the official LASU portal before payment.

Q2 . Can I pay my acceptance fee via mobile bank USSD?
A2. Yes. When you generate the RRR on the LASU portal the Remita interface offers multiple payment channels including card, internet banking and USSD (bank-dependent). Follow the Remita instructions for your bank.

Q3. I accepted admission on LASU portal but not on JAMB CAPS. Is that okay?
A3. You must accept the offer on JAMB CAPS if the admission was posted there. LASU may require proof (JAMB printout) during screening. If you accepted on the school portal but not CAPS, go to CAPS and accept the offer to avoid losing it.

Q4. My RRR shows PAID but LASU portal says UNCONFIRMED.
A4. Wait up to 1 hour; sometimes bank/RR reconciliation takes time. If still unconfirmed, contact LASU payment support with your RRR and Remita receipt. Keep screenshots.

Q5. Can I get a refund if I paid the wrong fee?
A5. Refunds for wrong payments are possible but require LASU finance office intervention and proof of payment. Contact LASU finance immediately with receipts; the process can take days or weeks. Do not assume refunds are automatic.

Conclusion

Securing your LASU admission requires attention to detail: accept the offer on JAMB CAPS, generate the correct RRR on the LASU payment portal, pay through Remita or your bank, complete the screening upload, and print your admission letter. Follow the official LASU portal and Remita steps and keep receipts and screenshots for every stage. If you face problems, escalate with the RRR, payment receipts, and portal screenshots those are your strongest evidence. This guide was compiled using LASU’s official payment and admission instructions and standard Remita/JAMB procedures. (Updated November 2025).
