It is much more about the policy on education than any explainable reason and the onus will be much more on the NUC to explain because NOUN's duty is to only comply with the layed down guidelines.

From the NUC point of view it won't be far from the followings:
1. The minimum time should be convenient for an average learner.
2. The fees involved within the short period too can be a guide too. As shorter periods may make the fees higher for the period and impossible for an average student to afford.
3. And more.


It's like allowing completion of secondary school to be possible in 2years. Some students will make it in 2years definitelybut will an average student make it? It will then look like u have set too high a standard or making the majority of the students that cannot complete theirs in 2years look like they are not good enough. Any benchmark should ideally be OK for an average student.
The above are just my personal views on why NUC will set such guidelines. Cheers.

Enskynelson:
Is this a question or an Information?

Enskynelson:
I am privy to the memo now. It has since been addressed that all PGD and M.SC programmes in NOUN be concluded in a minimum of 3 semesters or 18 months based on NUC directives. This was the reason students were disabled from registering for any course ahead of their semester. Your study centre was at fault for allowing you do Seminar which was meant for 3 semester in your second semester.

Enskynelson:
You should have done the last semester registration to fulfill the obligation of minimum of 3 semesters. But since u may have missed that opportunity, u can go to the HQ (Academic Registry) and explain. If it becomes too difficult, u can beg to pay for a semester registration of 18k to fulfill the obligation so your can released. This is my suggestion.

Enskynelson:
The programme is no longer a 2 semester programme. Same with other courses such as M.Ed.

GRADUATION ELIGIBILITY CHECKER

Are you a student of the National Open University of Nigeria?

Have you concluded your program and you're waiting for your name to be listed on NOUN graduation list?

Have you be waiting semester by semester but all to no avail your name wasn't released on the graduation list and you're asking yourself what could the problem be?

Or you're among those whose result was just released and you feel you've been cleared of all hurdles in NOUN and you're liable for graduation?

So as not to be hindered you're required to do a Graduation Eligibility Check. This will enable you know if you've cleared all the required courses and also help point out courses left undone that could hinder being listed on graduation list.

This can be done by those in 100-800 level as semester check of graduation eligibility check will help guide and quickly resolve any mistake done on time through your journey in NOUN.
