- Those who failed Literature in English (with a D7, E8 or F9) in their O-Level Results (WAEC or NECO or its equivalent)
- Those who do not find the subject particularly intriguing and would rather avoid whatever course will require they have a thorough grasp or idea of Literature yet were able to pass it in their O’ level examinations
- Those who did not write Literature in English as part of their UTME subjects.
- Those whose literature results were withheld
- Those who do not like literature but want to study an art related course
- Those who did not include literature in their O level examinations (WAEC/NECO/GCE or its equivalent)
Some of those requirements include having a minimum of Credit in Government or Literature In English or Christian Religious studies in the O-level examinations which are WAEC, NECO, GCE etc for art courses. This means that the art student must make a credit pass in the subject specified as a requirement.
However, there are some art students who are not able to meet up with a credit in their O level examinations in a particular art subject, thereby having a D7, E8 or F9 which could make them they are ineligible for admission into any art related course anymore.
Does this mean that all hope is lost? Well, the answer is no.
