The university offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in diverse fields such as Law, Art, Health Science, Education, Management, Social Sciences and Sciences.

Mode of Study in NOUN

i. Academic Sessions: NOUN runs on a full-term basis with flexible terms. Flexible in the sense that individuals are allowed to progress at own will’s pace. In order words, students are free to choose how they progress in their academic curriculum. The institution is semester oriented rather than session.

ii. Student Portal: This is a more or less the students’ dashboard where every activity as regards registrations is carried out. Such registration includes generation of RRR, payment of school fees, registration of courses and exams, printing of I.D card, as well as checking of results and submission of tutor marked assignments. Academic histories and exam results are also stored on the portal.

iii. Facilitation: This is a kind of lectures carried out by the lecturers of the university for students in 100 and 900 levels. It is not compulsory but vital for all the students. It is geared towards intimating the students with their course materials. It is however not a criterion for doing well academically as far as NOUN is concerned. Extensive reading of the course materials is. This is because the facilitation is always for a very short period in a given semester and the facilitators hardly touch half of the course materials. The facilitators are not the ones that set the exam question, as questions are sent directly from the headquarters and according to the content of the course material.

iv. Tutor-Marked Assignment (TMA) The tutor-marked assignment is part of the academic curriculum in the National Open University of Nigeria. It is an online based test which is geared towards helping in developing regular study habits in students and give students practice in writing responses to questions thereby having a kind of rehearsal in the preparation for the final examination especially in 100 and 200 levels. It, however, carries 30% of the total grade of any course.

v. Course Materials: Every course in NOUN has its own material both in print and electronic copies. These are lecture-like books designed in such a way to represent the classroom lectures. They are written in units and grouped in modules. The books are not sold separately but are distributed according to the courses registered by the students. The print copies are, however, subject to first come first serve basis and when they are exhausted in a given semester, students are then referred to the electronic copies online.

Examinations: NOUN’s exams are in two forms, e-exam and pen on paper (POP). The e-exam is for 100 and 200 level courses while the POP is for 300 level and above. All law courses are POP.
