Welcome to Campus Times Nigeria, are you searching for information on how to get your WAEC Statement of result or Certificate? This article will guide you on how to process the collection of your original WAEC certificate without stress.
The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) is organized and administered by the West African Examination Council.
Upon completion of the exams, an academic school leaving certificate are awarded to successful candidates.
When a student graduates from a secondary school, the school issues a WAEC Statement of Results with its letterhead, which can be used in the absence of the original copy of the WAEC certificate. This is because receiving one’s original WAEC certificate can take up to a year after the exams.
There are two different types of the examination:
WASSCE (May/June)
Also known as the Senior School Certificate Examinations (SSCE), by its former name; this examination is made for all private and public schools in West Africa.
They must wear distinctive uniforms as described in the standards set by the school boards. This examination is offered during the summer (May to June), and the results are available by August.
WASSCE (November/December)
Also known as the General Certificate Examinations (GCE), by its former name; all students from private and public schools are allowed to take this examination, and uniforms are not compulsory.

Visit the WAEC Office to collect your certificate. You should go with a court affidavit too.
Please sir, my picture on my photo card is different from my own but every other things are correct, would it affect admission or what can I do? Because I have gained admission already
You need to correct the post card picture. Ensure your picture on JAMB record is not also affected. Fix it now before it becomes a big issue for you at the period for NYSC.
Okay sir, u have already gone to neco office and they said they are working on it that it was an error, but can I submit the one I have now, then later I will submit it later when the picture is rectified because I have already gained admission and will resume next week.
You can do so, but you must get a court affidavit asking your school to accept your result pending the time NECO release the corrected one.
Okay sir, i have already gone to neco office and they said they are working on it that it was an error, but can I submit the one I have now, then later I will submit it later when the picture is rectified because I have already gained admission and will resume next week.
