The Lagos State University School of Basic and Advanced Studies (LASUSBAS) has officially announced the orientation date for its newly admitted students for the 2025/2026 academic session.
The Director of the Directorate, Prof. Yunus Adeleke Dauda, confirmed on Thursday that the event is designed to integrate "freshers" into the unique academic culture of the institution. This essential program is scheduled to take place on Monday January 26, 2026, at the LASUSBAS campus located along Topo Road, Badagry, Lagos State.
During the announcement, Prof. Dauda emphasized the importance of the orientation as a roadmap for new students. He noted that moving from secondary school to a university environment requires a significant mental shift. "Orientation is conducted to familiarize students with campus conduct, examination protocols, and everything related to their studies," Dauda stated. He added that understanding the system early is vital for students to meet university expectations and excel in their new environment.
LASUSBAS serves as a critical bridge for students seeking entry into full undergraduate programs. The school specializes in preparing candidates for the Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB), a rigorous external examination.
The curriculum is divided into three core academic pillars: Sciences, Arts and Humanities, and Social and Management Sciences. By providing a solid foundation in these areas, the school ensures that students are not only prepared for their immediate exams but are also equipped for the demands of advanced-level coursework.
The ultimate goal for every student at the Badagry campus is a seamless transition to the main LASU campus. Successful candidates who pass their JUPEB exams will gain Direct Entry admission into their chosen courses of study at the university.
This orientation marks the first official step in that journey, offering freshers the tools and information they need to navigate their preliminary year successfully and secure their future in higher education.
