WASSCE 2026 Offline Registration
Senior Secondary School Three students must take part in offline registration for WASSCE 2026. Registration will run from 28 to 31 December 2025. Any student who misses this window risks repeating the academic year, so schools and parents should take this serious.
Parents, guardians, and school managers have been asked to observe these dates closely. Early preparation will help students settle back faster, even though the calendar looks tight.
