Introduction
The University of Liberia (UL), through its Center for Testing and Evaluation (CTE), regularly conducts entrance examinations and aptitude assessments as integral components of its admissions procedure. For the year 2026, these entrance exams and aptitude tests will be administered to applicants across six programs: Undergraduate Colleges, Straz-Sinje Technical and Vocational College, Graduate School, A.M. Doglioti College of Medicine, School of Pharmacy, and the Louis Arthur Grimes School of Law.

| On Monday, May 25, 2026, the CTE is planning to hold an Examiners’ Workshop, provided we receive the necessary funding in time. We've learned from past experiences that during the last two tests, the attendees didn't have water to stay hydrated. This time, we'll make sure to keep everyone comfortable and out of the heat because we want to uphold our integrity and take good care of our participants. |
Challenges
The entrance registration process began on April 6, as planned. However, those who played key roles in producing, managing, and administering the 2025 second entrance—despite the project’s budget being approved on November 13, 2025—still haven’t received the proper compensation, even though their bank details have already been provided.
The CTE has just nine employees, with seven of them not being data specialists. The Coordinator for the Data Entry Clerks and Mr. Gaye will be based at the Fendall Campus to manage the Computer-based Test, while I’ll be working with the other six staff members at the Capitol Hill campus to print over twenty-six thousand booklets. We truly wouldn’t be able to meet our deadline before Saturday, May 30, 2026, without the support of the regular volunteers who have been helping out since 2019.
Recommendation
We kindly suggest that those who worked on producing, managing, and administering the 2025 second exams receive fair compensation. This will help ensure that the CTE remains well-equipped to hire them again for the 2026 Entrance Cycle. Let’s join hands to maintain the integrity of the Test and work together smoothly.
