2017 WAEC May / June Registration Form – Guidelines , Price & Deadline


This is to inform the general public, principal, school proprietress, parents and students that wish to register for the 2017/2018 WAEC MAY/JUNE exam that the Registration has started.


See more information below: 



1.0 INTRODUCTION



The West African Examinations Council e-Registration System is a user friendly online registration package for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination. It allows School schools in Nigeria to register their candidates online through the Internet. 



The WAEC e-Registration service makes registration easier for the schools and also eliminates errors in registration information which are hitherto made on paper and only detected while processing the paper forms by WAEC. Such documents as Timetable and Syllabus for the examination could easily be printed or downloaded by the School Authorities. It is our belief in WAEC that this new process will lead to a revolution in Information Technology (IT) development in School education in Nigeria 
This manual provides the step by step procedure and training guide for WAEC personnel and Schools Principals/Examination Officers on the e-Registration System. 



2.0 PROCEDURE FOR REGISTRATION



This manual covers the following: 
Ø Payment for the examination 
Ø Identification of Examination Officer 
Ø Registration of Candidates 
Ø Reviewing/Editing of Candidates Information 
Ø Generation of Examination Numbers 
Ø Downloading of Information 
Ø Offline Registration 



2.1 Payment for the examination



Schools are expected to collect the approved registration fees from all their candidates and issue one bank draft in favour of The West African Examinations Council (WAEC). This cheque is paid at the WAEC Zonal/Branch Office in charge of their State. The designated WAEC Finance Officer in the Zonal/Branch Office enters information regarding the payment on his computer and issued the school a scratch card or pay voucher containing information to enable the Principal/Examination Officer sign up to the e-Registration Website. 
However, to make the online registration trouble-free especially for schools without Internet Service in their locality, we have made provision for offline registration on their standalone PCs or through Business Centers in their locality. The CD-ROM containing this offline registration facility will be given to schools along with the pay voucher upon payment. This also means that schools could start registering their candidates as they collect entry fees from them. Please see details of the offline registration in Section 2.8. 



2.2 Identification of School Principal/Examination Officer



Once a school has collected a Scratch Card or Pay Voucher as the case may be, the school could visit the WAEC e-Registration website through an accredited examination officer usually appointed by the school to co-ordinate the registration of candidates for the examination. The School Examination Officer could visit the e-Registration website as follows:
