Universities and Courses that Accept Biology D7, E8 or F9

When I dropped the post, “Universities and Courses that Accept D7, E8 or F9 in Physics for Admission”, I’d thought I was looking for trouble. I knew more and more people will be asking related questions. I’d also promised that, that piece would mark the beginning of unending series of such discussions at schoolcontents.info

This candidate has D7 in Biology - WAEC
And for that post alone, I had got questions regards some deficiencies in Biology too. Admission seekers are asking:
  1. What course can I study with D7 in Biology?
  2. What course should I put in for with E8 in Biology?
  3. Which school will accept D7, E8 or F9 in Biology?
  4. Can I still process admission with Cancel in my Biology
  5. I have outstanding in my Biology, can I apply for any course?

These are, but a few such questions. I got your answers and below are my points.

Biology is central to some science courses of course. On this note, if you’re a management/social science or art student, you won’t necessarily need Biology for your admission. In other words, 99% of your management courses never require Biology.

However, for sciences, you may hardly find your way out of lacking at least a credit pass in it.

How Many Subjects Do you Need for Science Courses?

  1. Generally, you need at least 5 credit passes in not more than two sittings.
  2. Some schools such as the University of Ibadan usually demand 6 credit passes, at least, if you must use two sittings.
  3. Some courses require only one sitting such as Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, and the likes.
  4. Mainly, pure science and medical courses make Biology compulsory and you must have a credit pass, at least, in it.
  5. This is why you must study your brochure before proceeding with the selection of any course in the first place.

Back to the concern of this post – what are the courses you can do with a pass in Biology i.e D7, E8, or Fail (F9)?
