The Waec Registration Procedure for 2027 WAEC registration for school candidates is available now, and students preparing to sit for the May/June West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) should begin making the necessary arrangements with their schools.
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) conducts the May/June WASSCE for candidates registered through recognised secondary schools. Unlike private candidates, school candidates do not complete the entire registration process independently. Their schools handle the examination entries and other registration formalities.
This guide explains what students and parents need to know about the 2027 WAEC registration date, closing deadline, registration fee, subject selection and procedure.
Is the 2027 WAEC Registration Form Out?
The official WAEC portal has a section for the 2027 WASSCE for School Candidates’ e-Registration. This confirms that WAEC has provided the registration portal for the examination.
However, students should understand that the school handles the registration process. If you are in SS3 and intend to write the 2027 May/June examination, contact your school to find out when it will collect your information and complete your registration.
When Will 2027 WAEC Registration Start?
WAEC’s 2027 school-candidate registration portal is available, but candidates should obtain the official registration schedule from their schools.
The school will communicate when students should submit their details and any required documents. Do not rely on an unofficial registration date when planning your application.
2027 WAEC Registration Deadline
As of 1 November 2026, I could not confirm a final 2027 WASSCE school-candidate registration closing date from a published WAEC notice available for verification.
Students should therefore contact their school immediately rather than wait until the examination approaches. Schools also have registration and administrative requirements to complete before entries can be finalised.
Important: Some websites have published specific offline and online registration deadlines for the 2027 examination. Nkedugists will not present those dates as confirmed until they can be checked against an official WAEC notice.
2027 WAEC Registration Fee
The final 2027 WAEC school-candidate registration fee has not been confirmed in the official information checked for this update.
In July 2026, the Federal Ministry of Education announced that the proposed review of WAEC and NECO examination registration fees had been suspended pending further consultation. The Ministry stated that the proposed adjustment would not take effect while the review was ongoing.
For this reason, students and parents should request the approved 2027 registration amount directly from their schools. Avoid paying money into personal accounts or to unofficial agents claiming to sell WAEC registration forms.
Who Can Register for the 2027 May/June WAEC Examination?
The May/June WASSCE is organised for school candidates. It is intended for students presented by recognised secondary schools.
If you are an SS3 student preparing to sit for the 2027 examination, your school is responsible for handling your entry formalities.
Candidates who are not registering through a school should not confuse this examination with the WASSCE for Private Candidates. WAEC provides separate registration arrangements for private candidates.
2027 WAEC Registration Procedure for School Candidates
The registration process for the 2027 May/June examination is handled by the school presenting the candidates. Students should follow the instructions issued by their school rather than attempting to complete a private-candidate registration form.
The following are the important steps students should expect during the registration exercise.
1. Confirm Your Registration With Your School
Speak with your school administration or examination officer to confirm that you are included among the candidates being presented for the 2027 WASSCE.
Do not assume that being in SS3 automatically means your registration has been completed.
2. Provide Your Correct Personal Details
Your school will request the personal information needed for your examination entry. Make sure that your names, date of birth and other details are correct before they are submitted.
Pay particular attention to the spelling and arrangement of your names. Errors in examination records can create difficulties when checking results or processing certificates.
3. Confirm Your WAEC Subject Combination
Discuss your proposed subjects with your teachers before the school submits your examination entry.
Your subjects should reflect your intended course of study and the relevant admission requirements. Do not select subjects simply because your friends are registering for them.
4. Check Your Continuous Assessment Records
Schools are responsible for handling the required Continuous Assessment Scores (CASS) records for their candidates.
Ask your school whether your records have been completed and uploaded where required. If there is a problem with your school records, it should be addressed before the registration process is finalised.
5. Review Your Registration Details
Before your school completes the registration, check the information supplied for you.
Confirm your personal details and registered subjects. If you notice an error, report it to the examination officer immediately so that it can be corrected through the appropriate procedure.
6. Confirm That Your Registration Has Been Completed
After the school completes your entry, ask for confirmation that your registration has been successfully processed.
Keep any registration information or documents provided by your school. You may need them when checking your examination details or collecting your examination identification document.
2027 WAEC Subject Selection
WAEC’s current entry guidance states that candidates registering for the 2026 and 2027 WASSCE will sit for two core subjects:
- English Language
- General Mathematics
Candidates must also select six or seven additional subjects. This means that a candidate will register for a minimum of eight and a maximum of nine subjects in total.

Proposed 2027 WAEC Examination Date
The 2027 WAEC May/June examination is proposed to hold from 11 May to 18 June 2027, according to the Federal Ministry of Education’s harmonized examination timetable. These dates are for the examination period, not the WAEC registration deadline.
These dates were published as part of the Federal Government’s examination-timetable harmonization plan.
