Preliminary Offers

Prospective students that apply to ALU without having taken their Final Senior Secondary Exam/National Exam will be assessed on term grades, and can receive a preliminary offer. Prospective students will then be required to submit their Final Senior Secondary Exam/National Exam, before the Admissions Committee can consider their application for either a conditional admissions or a firm offer.

Rejected

Rejected prospective students do not qualify for admission to ALU. Rejected prospective students may not reapply for the same intake.
