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
2.1
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.
2
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
distributed to schools during the training program. 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
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:
The Examination Officers Information Page is displayed as follows if the PIN is valid

For schools in the rural areas and/or schools without computers and/or Internet facilities, WAEC
has installed in all its Zonal/Branch Offices, Computers, Scanners, Printers, and Internet Service.
This will enable such schools to register their candidates online or upload the candidates they have
registered offline. This will surely make it possible for all schools to get their candidates register on
time and with ease.
Schools wishing to use these facilities especially for scanning and printing may be required to pay a
token for the facilities. Such additional fees will be communicated to the schools during the training
program.
Thank you.
