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.

That should fly. But make sure you visit the Study Centre before you apply because, on the long run they will be the one to verify you.

This school is a useless school!!!

Hello, do the calms. Who gave you such information?

Well, that information is wrong. The only courses you are to do if you started from 200 or 300 level are GST courses.

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.

Computer Science.

You know the painful part about this shii?
I have been opening tons of tickets since 2022, they end up closing it saying they are working on it, talmabout it will be reflected on the new portal. Why would you admit a student into 200 level and then mandate them to do 100 level course?
Whats the point of Direct Entry?

This school is full of BS !!!

And I will make sure I call their shit out on Twittere

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 ☺️

I have seen a lot of students graduate as direct entry without doing every course in 100 level except the GSTs. Let me not say much but I want to believe he didn't talk to the HOD. The HOD will not give such advice.

I will encourage him to ignore those courses but he should make sure he does the GST courses

Okay, I will DM you. Truly, I was gobsmacked too when they told me, cos it makes no sense at all. I will send a DM, I called Abuja again yesterday and they told me to see the Deputy Registrar, I will keep you posted.

Not calling you a liar but let me tell you the channel of communication in the university.

As a student, if you have a complaint, you have to go to your study centre and lay your complaints. The study centre will channel it to the needed department and give you feedback when available.

The only time a student can get direct contact with headquarters is through support portal and they won't call you unless you have a very very very serious case. They will only reply you through support portal.

You know there have been a lot of disclaimers from the university regarding imposters.

The call I got was from the director office and the person in question is his secretary. In her words “the letter cannot go through to HQ because DE students must take 100 level courses (aside from GSTs)
I explained this earlier.

Now you are saying what I want to hear.

Some of us here are very very very experienced than you know.

Take my advice and do only GST courses from 100 and 200 level if you started from 300 level or do from 100 level if you started from 200 level.

Cheers

Slow down matey

If it was that simple I won’t be bothered.
My portal is showing entry mode as open instead of direct.

I have 100 level courses as outstanding on my portal.
That should not be the case If I am to graduate this semester.

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

You started from 300 level. You are to do only the GSTs from 100 and 200 level.

Yes, it is true that your support portal will show courses of 100 level if you started from 200 level or 100 and 200 level courses if you start from 300 level.

I have seen a lot of students come in through 200 or 300 level graduate without doing courses of lower levels; thus, yours won't be a different case.

You can send your details to my email. I will forward to a very very experienced counselor to confirm what I am telling you. Thank you

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.
