The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has issued an important reminder to all Senior High Schools (SHSs) preparing candidates for the 2027 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Both public and private Senior High Schools presenting candidates for the WASSCE for School Candidates, 2027, are required to update the Continuous Assessment Scores (CASS) records of their prospective candidates on the official CASS Portal.
WASSCE 2027 CASS Update Deadline
According to the reminder, all schools must ensure that the CASS records for WASSCE 2027 candidates are updated by Monday, August 31, 2026.
The deadline is important for schools because WAEC has indicated that candidates whose CASS records are not available on the CASS Portal after the deadline will not be registered for the 2027 WASSCE.
Schools are therefore being urged to take immediate action to avoid registration challenges for their students.
WAEC Warns Schools Over WASSCE Registration
WAEC has stressed the importance of ensuring that the CASS details of all prospective WASSCE 2027 candidates are properly updated on the portal before the deadline.
The Council has cautioned that failure to complete the process could affect the registration of students for the upcoming WASSCE for School Candidates.
School authorities are therefore encouraged to verify their candidates’ records and complete all necessary updates as soon as possible.
Importance of CASS Records for WASSCE Candidates
The Continuous Assessment Scores (CASS) form an important part of the examination administration process.
Accurate and complete CASS records help schools and WAEC maintain the necessary academic information for students preparing to sit the WASSCE examination.
Heads of schools and examination officers are consequently advised to ensure that the information submitted through the CASS Portal is accurate and available before the stipulated deadline.
