1.Countless time, i have asked for a whatsapp or telegram group of my study centre, till date, i have not be given any response...The school doesn't notify students via sms or emails of any changes..(afterall, what is the essence of them collecting our emails and phone numbers?).
Most times we only get to hear some information only whenever we come to school

2.If there is no student union who do students run to for help?.That means the management decision is final, even when it affects the student..
On the issue of workers organizing a union, we have so many examples of workers operating a functional union,NOUN shouldnt be an exception.

3.After collecting money for the same materials, they still want us to use our money again to go and print materials in soft copy.
Why dont dey refund us the money to enable us go and print the soft copies?
Last semester i did about 8courses but was given only 1 material, the money for the 7 was not given to me..Why allow us pay for something you know is not available?

If you have issues, you are always free to go to your centre to complain and if they can't, they will surely escalate the issue to headquarters.

Well, send me an email at Fkj202004@gmail.com and I will always keep in touch with you so that you won't feel bad about the school.

1. If your centre doesn't have a Whatsapp/telegram platform, tell them to do so. That's the fastest way you can get information.

2. NOUN doesn't allow student union because it isn't recognized as a conventional university.

3. I think you didn't read your handbook or you don't even have one. Read your student handbook and you will see that your materials will either be provided electronically or hard copies. If you decide to print, you can't hold anyone for that.

I am not arguing with you but please try to inform your study centre Director so that Whatsapp/telegram group can be created.

Have a nice day.

Good day everyone.
I am a student of National Open University Wuse 2 Abuja Study centre.
Please forgive my poor write up

Here are my reasons on why i think National Open University Of Nigeria is not Organized.[b]

(1)POOR COMMUNICATION: [b]
We all know that communication is key in passage of information.As a student of NOUN, you must source for your information by yourself,there are no numbers to call to make inquiries.
For example, during every exams,students are given a 30minutes grace period to arrive your centre, but as a result of this Covid19, the grace period was removed..
Note: This was done without the notice of some students,for some students missed their exams not knowing that the 30mins grace period has been stopped.
Some were trapped in traffic as results of the heavy down pour.

(2)NO UNION[b]
I once heard that they have a SUG President, but for 3years in that school, i have never seen or felt the effect of the SUG.
Students dont have a voice in the school,the VC or Director's decision is the final.

(3)NOT ENOUGH MATERIALS FOR STUDENTS[b]
Imagine having to thousands of naira for 8 materias(Textbook), but you are given only 2..
This is what you see in National Open University, and they will always tell you that the reason is because the materials are not available for now..
You will never get to collect it again..

The school is so frustrating.

Well I will answer you to the best of my knowledge.

1. I won't say NOUN doesn't pass information rather I will say you want information to be brought to your doorstep. Do you follow NOUN on twitter and not get information and on time? Are you in your centre's Whatsapp/telegram group and information wasn't passed? My advice, go follow NOUN on twitter and join your centre's Whatsapp/telegram group so that you can be getting information and on time. Although, the information about this current examination was passed shortly to the exam, I can tell you that immediately the information came out, 95% of students got to know within few hours. The remaining 5% are the ones that want centre officials to be calling them personally to give them update. Even instructions for the examination was passed since last week.

2. NOUN doesn't have union. The school was firstly created for workers but now most students are young school leavers. How do you expect workers to organise student unions.

3. NOUN's policy is either to give you materials in hard or soft copies, so if you have 3 or 4 textbooks out of 8, go online and download the others. All course materials are online.

Please, stop discouraging people from getting admission into NOUN because you kinda failed to do your part.

pstgoddie:
FKJ, is it possible to be verified with Conditional Offer Letter of Admission though I did my PGD with NOUN? Thanks Sir.

Yes it is. But also request for your transcript

pstgoddie:
Hello, if you have uploaded your credentials and you are yet to be verified, chat me up... I have na contact with an Admin officer, he will verify it ASAP...

0903653698four

My good people how real is this?
Do we have more witnesses?

It depends on the centre. With what I know, each centre verifies students who chooses the centre. He might have contact in other centres too.

jvmum:
hello all, please can someone help clarify- on the Mgt Sciences faculty page, Bachelors in Accounting is listed as acceptable degree for an MSc in Public Administration- however on the main application link, it isnt one of the degrees listed. How does one reconcile that please?

Accounting is only acceptable for MSc in Business Administration not MSc Public Administration

Yes. National Open University of Nigeria. Send me a message @Fkj202004@gmail.com to know more

A group on facebook have been personally opened on facebook in order to quickly get notifications on questions regarding NOUN and how to go about it. Please, kindly follow Dexter Educational Consultancy on facebook.

Fistop:
Verification after uploading credentials is taking a whole lot of time. If only it could be faster.

Contact any Admin Officer in your centre. There was someone that did his uploading yesterday night and he got matriculation number immediately because the Admin Officer works from home.

Contact any Admin Officer in your Centre

Admission is on. Go to nouonline.net to apply

imagrg:
My two children were admitted to both study Computer Science at NOUN in 2014 and after 5 months of study with them abandoned their studies.
They want to return now to study Business Administration and Political Science respectively.
The problem is, they logged into their portals but the response was incorrect login details.
Is it possible for them to do change of courses or would they be required to register afresh?
Let someone help please.
eguaogiep@gmail.com

They will have to get a fresh admission.

lawman88:
Thank you very much sir. God bless you. please, the first TMA, am I suppose to write it on the 14/09/2020 only or there is a period of days/weeks for it. I saw it in the academic calendar. I am a new student. Please I want to know how the TMA looks like too. Is it objective or essay? Will I be given questions to answer online or offline? Thanks for your helps

Well that Academic Calendar is no more tentative due to Covid-19. When TMA 1 starts for this semester, you will surely know. Also, TMAs are done online and it is objective. You will do 3 TMAs for each and each TMA carries 10 marks.

mikeangel:
My people , pls when is exam starting?

There was a cue/clue today that school will soon open. When school resumes, except exam like 2 weeks after. Just prepare because after exams, you are expected to start your second semester immediately.
