When will WAEC Release 2026 WASSCE Results?

The 2026 WASSCE results are expected to be released between 1st and 7th September 2026. Dial *790*024# and choose “WASSCE 2026” to check the latest release date.

The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) is the key exit examination for Senior High School candidates in Ghana. The 2026 examination has now concluded across approved examination centres nationwide, with WAEC working through the remaining processes required before the results can be released.

WASSCE results are normally released after marking, processing, moderation and validation of candidates' scores. WAEC uses subject-by-subject marking, allowing scripts for different subjects to be assessed and processed without waiting for every stage of the examination cycle to be completed at the same time.

Based on the current expected timeline, the 2026 WASSCE results are expected to be released between Tuesday, 1st September and Monday, 7th September 2026.

This remains an anticipated release window and may change depending on WAEC's final moderation, validation, examination irregularity reviews and other operational processes. Candidates and parents should therefore continue checking credible sources for confirmed updates.

To stay updated on the release, check:

• Major news websites
• WAEC’s official website and verified social media pages
• Ministry of Education announcements
• Or dial *790*024# and select “WASSCE 2026” for the latest update

When the results are released, follow these steps to check yours:

1. Purchase a WASSCE results checker e-voucher from an authorised vendor or dial *790*024# to buy one using Mobile Money.
2. Visit WAEC’s official results checking portal.
3. Enter your Index Number, select “WASSCE (School)” and choose 2026 as the examination year.
4. Enter the Serial Number and PIN on your results checker.
5. Confirm that your details are correct and submit them to view your results.

After receiving your results, carefully check the admission requirements for the universities, colleges and programmes you are interested in. Pay attention to programme cut-off points, subject requirements and application deadlines.

If your results are not exactly what you expected, there are still several options available, including resitting selected subjects, applying for alternative programmes, considering TVET institutions or exploring other recognised tertiary education pathways.

WASSCE grades range from A1, the highest grade, to F9, the lowest grade. University and college admissions are generally determined by a candidate's aggregate, performance in required subjects and the specific entry requirements of the institution or programme.

For now, candidates are encouraged to remain calm and hopeful as WAEC completes the final processes ahead of the expected 1st to 7th September 2026 results release window.
