LASU Sandwich Clearance Procedure for Freshers 2026

Lagos State University (LASU) requires all newly admitted Sandwich Degree students (freshers) to complete an online admission clearance exercise before they can be issued a matriculation number and proceed with course registration and other formalities. This clearance is normally done through the LASU Central Admissions Clearance Application (LACACA) portal.

LASU Sandwich Clearance Procedure for Freshers:

1. Begin With Fee Payments

Before you start the clearance process, you must pay all mandatory fees through the LASU e-payment portal. This typically includes:

• Acceptance fee

• Medical fee

• Clearance fee

These payments are made via the LASU Consult Limited portal. You’ll need your admission/application number, valid email, and phone number to initiate payment.

2. Access the LACACA Portal

After paying the required fees:

1. Go to the LASU Central Admission Clearance (LACACA) page.

2. Select the Sandwich clearance option.

3. Enter your Sandwich application number and surname.

3. Complete Your Bio-Data Verification

Once logged in to the clearance portal:

• Verify your personal details (name, date of birth, contact info)

• Confirm your disability status (if applicable)

• Accept the terms and conditions before proceeding.

4. Upload Required Documents

To continue your clearance, you will be asked to upload scanned copies of essential documentation:

• O’Level Scratch Card details

• Original Birth Certificate

• Original Sandwich Admission Letter (Offer Letter)

• Scanned signature

These documents are used for verification and must be accurate.

5. Submit and Monitor Clearance Status

After uploading everything:

• Click Submit to send your information to LASU for review.

• The clearance status will initially show 20% while verification begins.

You must regularly check your clearance dashboard for updates. If any documents are rejected or flagged for correction, the portal will indicate what you need to amend — and sometimes additional fees are charged for corrections.

6. Completion and Matriculation

Once your clearance reaches 100%:

• You will be able to print your LASU Admission Clearance Certificate.

• You will be assigned a Matriculation Number — which is essential for registration and class attendance.

Failure to complete the online clearance exercise means your admission may be forfeited and you won’t be able to matriculate.

7. Attend Any Physical Verification (If Required)

If the portal flags issues you can’t resolve online, you might be asked to visit the Directorate of Sandwich at LASU Main Campus, Ojo for assistance and verification.
