DivergentSony: I'm having the same issue with DES303 in my portal. It's among the registrable courses in my student portal but it is not among the outstanding courses in my statement of results from support portal.
I'm a final year student and ought to have graduated years ago but project and some other things delayed me, so this semester that I want to wrap up my project along with any outstanding courses I'm seeing it among my registerable courses in student portal.
Is it still advisable to leave it/not do it and they won't use it to tie me down for another semester registration to go and do it? Because I heard it's compulsory course for all departments.
How did it go for you last year with your graduation clearance @aliadi2 For DES303, even though the course is compulsory, it was clearly stated that it was compulsory for a particular level then. Help drop your Matriculation year. If it is old enough, I would bother to check to confirm. For instance NOU19xx... won't be required to do that course. Let's have your year of matriculation, let's see. |

Chilipepper: Wife secretly planned and secured a US visa for herself and the kids without her husband’s knowledge. He only found out two days before their departure. After arriving in the US, she blocked him everywhere. Such an absent-minded man. Was he living in an another city? He couldn't even suspect anything? When we hear from the wife, she will have much to say to support her decision. |

Paulscholari: "If Allah is God may he die suddenly" This statement as zealous as it sounds it's quite unnecessary and a drawn out for war. This is not a statement an ordinary preacher or crusader makes. You must have ascend a high ranking in order of spiritual cadre because the princes and principalities that will rise against you will be too much for just a guardian angels to handle. |

Jecci: Please I want to register for the virtual exam but there's no submit button on my portal. How do I register for virtual exam and also I can't log on to e ticketing platform it is saying unknown user. I have not logged in before how do I rectify that I don't think the virtual exams registration is opened yet. It will be opened before exams. Just keep checking. As for the support.nou.edu.ng, you may have to contact your ICT officer at the study centre. To login, username is normally your matriculation number and the default password is: default. If you try that and you still get unknown user, try and visit the ICT officer. It will be fixed. |

Hojuholape: The issue with the student is the system is recognising him/her as one who started from 100L instead of Direct Entry and that has birth another erroneous perspective here about GSTs.
GST 105 and 203 are not mutually exclusive, all students must take both if you don't want to waste your time waiting for your name on the graduation list which won't happen. They are both listed on the outstanding courses in the students' support portal and also listed as registrable courses on the main student portal.
What is listed on NOUN website is not what is actually applicable on ground at times. Can you state the programme where GST105 and GST203 are not mutually exclusive? Before I made my post, I had to check the current registrable courses in science department (specifically Info Tech and Computer Science). But now, you have made a claim without being specific which is often what can lead to confusion. You stated that ALL STUDENTS must take those GSTs. But I have verified that for Computer Science students and Info Tech students, they don't have both in their registrable courses. You can easily check and confirm this I appreciate you contribution to the discussion. For clarity, please, present the programme that has both GST105 and GST203 together so that we can learn from it and be aware that they are not following what has been layed down. From there, we can write showing disparities in them and I am sure, it will get the required attention. The DICT and MIS is meant to implement all these things but somehow, there are noticeable lapses. |

Jokay07: No sir. The institution never had intention of embarking on any recruitment based on merit. From the date it was posted till now. As a matter of fact, the advert was released last week and when I read through it, I saw a red flag and that's why I didn't bother to apply. The red flag well spotted. But, could it be that the publication was back dated? The pdf I have has the date on it as 18th July. Funny enough, a staff there sent to my wife on 18th August and told her to apply. On checking the date, we told her that it was closing that night 😂 She said she should submit still which is even yet to. But reading through the guy's post, we are going to give the feedback to the staff to see if he can help submit or we forget about it. |
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Wasted Transport, Wasted Photocopies – Kaduna Polytechnic Broke My Heart by Enskynelson(m): 3:49pm On Aug 25, 2025 |
Closing date is clearly there. It is clearly stated 4 weeks from the date of publication and that expired on 18th August. I don't know if you saw that or decided to ignore. I have the ad and it was published on July 18 and it was clearly stated application will close after 4 weeks.

Enskynelson: Some of those questions, I assume it's because they cannot find a straight response for you. If you ask different NOUN staff at the Study Centre, you will hear diverse responses which supports this speculation.
The official information available is that DE (300L DE) students are required to take ONLY NOU107 (GST107) and GST302. That's all.
Any other thing you are told or you hear is contrary to the official information.
You can check the "NOTE" available in the link below 👇
https://deags.nou.edu.ng/gst-courses-and-descriptions/
But because many are not equipped or conversant with info, they will tell you different things not backed up by any official information but assumptions. I have heard some students saying they were told to take ALL GST courses including 100L GSTs and 200L GSTs as DE students. That is incorrect. Here are the important information in the link for everyone to see and also learn from: Note:
You cannot take both GST105 and GST203 Art, Education (Arts, Social Science and Foundation) and Social Science programmes are to register for GST 105 – History and Philosophy of Science in addition to other GST courses. Science programmes including Science Education are to register for GST 203 – Introduction to Philosophy and Logic in addition to other GST courses. All general studies courses are facilitated All GST course examinations are e-examinations except GST302 which is 40% e-examination and 60% for practical through business plan presentation and enterprise development. All direct entry students must take GST107 in addition to their 200-level GST courses. while Direct entry students at the 300 level must complete only GST107 and GST302. All graduate students who finished NOUN are excepted from GST707/Now, let's cross check the info: 1. Check B.Sc Biology and B.Sc Computer Science, they don't do GST105. They both do GST203. 💯 2. All GST courses are facilitated? 💯 Follow link below to see 2025/1 facilitation timetable https://mylearningspace.nou.edu.ng/info/facilitation-timetable?field_facilitator_faculty_target_id_1=All&field_courses4_fac_course_code_value=GST&field_day_for_facilitation_value=All&field_semester_value=2025_1&field_host_department2_value=All&field_crs4fac_level_value=All3. All GST courses are e-exams. This is very true 💯. Event GS302 that maybe should have been POP being a 300L course is an e-exam. Same with 707, 807 and 907. 4. All graduates of NOUN are exempted from GST707. This implies that if you are a graduate of NOUN (first degree graduate of NOUN) and you are running a PGD programme in NOUN, you should be exempted from taking GST707 (NOU707). This is quite understandable considering the fact that the person has passed the same course during the first degree. In my opinion, it should not be only exempted from GST707 but also 807 and maybe 907. This is a good idea but implementing this on the portal is not easy because the portal MUST first of all identify that you a graduate of NOUN before removing the course from your portal and as well as removing it from your graduation requirements. While this is a good idea, implementing it is not easy. For this particular information, I cannot verify if it is working. |

Abdul4trust1: in my support portal I have other 200l course including one gst204.
While some people said I must write all the 200l courses to finally graduate, some said I must write only the gst204 not minding I admitted into 300l. Lastly, some said I should ignore it since it's not 300l GST.
The worst part of it is that NOUN support are not responding to tickets Some of those questions, I assume it's because they cannot find a straight response for you. If you ask different NOUN staff at the Study Centre, you will hear diverse responses which supports this speculation.

Anitaaaa: You really think I will make such claim ignorantly, Thats what the HOD told me herself. I called Abuja, they told me to write a letter through my study centre, next day I got a call that the letter cannot go through because all students must take 100 level courses irrespective of their entry mode. I disagree with this in its entirety. Whoever you called, HOD or not didn't tell you the truth. FKJ202004 is not mincing words, he is shocked too because that is not true. Ain't you shocked too that someone who claims to be HOD will tell that you have to do ALL 100 courses as a DE. It is not true. I have many students who were admitted via DE and they have graduated without all 100L courses. So, disregard that information. Send me a DM, maybe I will be able to give you a headway. Don't be frustrated ☺️ |

Chilipepper: Good evening, seniors in the house. I need your suggestions, please.
I studied media studies, but last year I decided to sit for another WAEC so I could switch fully into a science-related course. Now, I’m considering applying to NOUN to study Information Technology. However, I noticed that one of the courses listed is Elementary Mathematics.
To be honest, I don’t really like mathematics, and I’m a bit worried about how difficult it might be. I believe I can push through, but I still have this fear and uncertainty.
Please, I need your sincere advice. Before you proceed, Go to https://nounupdate.com/fee-checkCheck the courses listed for your program and put eyes on the MTH courses. You can go further by downloading the course materials to see the content from nou.edu.ng Lastly, you can check past questions for the maths courses and see if you are fine. All the best If you are fine, you can go ahead and apply. |
