Student shall spend 10 minutes for presentation and 20 minutes for questions and answers. All activities for the presentation must not exceed 1 hour. Three Incubation Centre Coordinators or three assigned assessors shall grade, and average scores shall be recorded by the Incubation Centre Coordinator in the zone. Students can be grouped into a maximum of 10 to work on same business plan and project, but the role of each student must be well spelt out in the plan.

Students put approved business plans into action. Students work with the CE&GS ICT and content development unit to produce illustration of the business plan. The illustration may be sketch, simulation or concrete product.

NOUN TO REDUCE NUMBER OF TMA QUESTIONS, MAKE GST COURSES PEN-ON-PAPER EXAMS.

Reports reaching Repota Atlarge indicate that the Senate of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) have allegedly reached a resolution to reduce the number of questions set for Tutor Marked Assignments (TMAs) as well as make all Gst courses Pen-on-paper rather than e-examinations.

According to Impact-TrustINFO, multiple sources from the last Senate meeting confirmed that the Senate moved a motion to reduce NOUN TMA questions from 20 questions par TMA, to ten(10).

In addition, it was alleged that the Senate have also resolved to make each course comprise of three TMAs as against the previous four TMAs par course.

Although as at the time of filing this report, Repota Atlarge could not ascertain if the modification takes effect this semester, but what is certain is that the modification if effected, may not be favorable to many NOUN students.

------------------------------------------------

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

*```Carry Overs accumulated from the old portal(portal.nou.edu.ng) have been migrated to this current portal (nouonline.net)*```
It means you can now register all "CO's" as exams only! Cost-N1000only

How do I drop a course I registered in error. I cannot see options to do that.

GO TO YOUR STUDY CENTRE MEET AN ICT OFFICER THEY WOULD HELP U IN DROPPING UR COURSE ..

peacengine:
Gooday Boss, can I still register for PGD or is it too late?

YES YOU CAN, COURSE AND EXAM REGISTRATION CLOSES ON THE 14TH OF MAY, I WILL ADVICE YOU, DO YOUR REGISTRATION NOW

Good morning all

I want to attend to some questions now

ON MISSING AN EXAM
If you missed any exam just calm down it won't affect your GP in any way, to me I don't call it carry over cos it won't be calculated with other courses you did when calculating your GP, you will simply retake it in a new semester and you will also retake the TMA

ON PORTAL SEMESTER REGISTRATION
Its a free registration to have access to your portal, this also gives you the chance to change your password if you think it has been compromised, you follow the steps ..Go on nouedu.net, click on register and fill in your details...

ON WALLET FUNDING
I am always of the opinion that students should not rush but follow the trend of paying completely and also pay in a bank or online for fast and effective funding..

FORGOTTEN PASSWORD
Having issues to login on the portal when it says incorrect username or password, you might have mismatch your password which you have to do it carefully, so it's advisable for you to give urself sometime and remember what you inputted and for password reset your study centre, ICT officer is there to help you out..

ON YOUR RESULTS
Results are slated on the portal when you click on your courses...so if you check your portal now you will find it there, and results are viewed in individual portal not that it will be pasted in your study centre

NEW STUDENT'S SCREENING
Is still ongoing and it occurs in your preferred study centre of choice I will advice you start going now, before the portal finally closes..

Please for those who are still stranded or struggling to pay...I pray you will get the payments before this week runs to an end..God bless everyone!

As soon has information are been passed from the school will keep it posted on here..
