For the over 100,000 BECE graduates who did not receive placement in any of the 11 schools they selected, the Ministry of Education has finally activated the 2024 School Self Placement Module.

Candidates can now use the self-placement portal to either change their schools or make a new choice entirely.

A total of 104,918 students who passed the BECE but were unable to secure placement in one of their 11 school choices will need the self-placement module. However, the Ministry of Education has also assigned approximately 73,390 students to schools that were similar to their chosen ones but did not secure placement.

Students who were placed automatically into one of the schools they chose cannot use the self-placement module to change their placement.

How to do 2024 school self-placement

1. Visit the CSSPS Portal at
2. Enter your index number and add 24 to it.
3. Check to ensure the index number is correct.
4. Click Proceed to check your placement.
5. If the self placement nodule does not automatically direct you to it, click on the self placement link.
6. On the self-placement page, select your region of preference.
7. Select your school of choice.
8. Selection of your program of choice
9. Select your accommodation preference.
10. Click on the proceed or submit button.
11. Print out the placement slip, form, and prospectus.

Students who can do the self-placement can also change the school they choose as many times as possible. However, once you start the enrollment process with the last chosen school, you can no longer make changes on the portal. We expect students to begin the admission process on 30th October 2024, with all SHS 1 students reporting on 7th November 2024.

Most schools have rolled out online admission processes. We advise parents to reach out to the schools assigned to their wards for guidance on navigating the school’s online admission process.
