FULL MEANING OF WAEC RESULT STATUS

When checking your WAEC result, you might come across certain terms. Here’s what they mean:

1. 🟡 Outstanding:

This means your result in one or more subjects is still being processed. It usually happens when a student is marked present but the marks are not yet finalized. This could be due to an extra answer sheet not properly attached or other technical issues.

_✅ Chances of release:_ Very high

2. 🟠 Withheld:

This occurs when many students from a centre have similar answers, suggesting malpractice. WAEC investigates the situation. If malpractice is confirmed, the results are seized.

_⚠️ Chances of release_: Slim

3. 🔴 Held:

Similar to “Withheld,” but usually tied to a specific candidate or when a centre is strongly indicted for malpractice. This can include written remarks in your answer booklet.

🕵️‍♀️ If cleared after investigation, your result may be released.

🚫 If it turns to “Cancelled,” it’s over.

4. ⚪ Result Not Available:

This may be due to:

• Delay in uploading results

• Wrong exam type or year selected during checking

🕒 Check back later or retry with correct details.

5. 💸 Indebted:

Your school may owe WAEC fees or materials. When this happens, results for the entire school might be withheld until the debt is cleared.

📞 Contact your school for assistance.

6. ❌ Cancelled:

This means WAEC has confirmed malpractice or a major exam offense.

🪦 The result will not be released. There’s no going back.
