List of Nigerian Universities Accepting Lower Credit For Direct Entry

Schools like University of Ilorin, Usman Danfodio University, KWASU, ABU, BUK and others does not require you to submit transcript as a direct entry applicant. While schools like OAU and others, requires it.

Therefore, in order for you to be sure of what to do in that regards, whenever the post UTME date of your school is out, the university will categorically state it that you should submit your transcripts to a particular address within the school.

In case your school is silent about this, then you don’t need to submit any academic transcript.
