Course Code:

in which subject areas are broken down into unit courses which are examinable and for
which students earn credit(s) if passed’. The courses are arranged in progressive order of
difficulty or in levels of academic progress, e.g. Level 1 or year 1 courses are 101, 102 e.t.c. (e.g. GST101). and Level II or Year II courses are 201, 202 etc.

The National Open University of Nigeria also has a policy of odd number representing first semester and even number representing second semester.

Course Credit:

A Credit is the unit of measurement for a course. At NOUN, 1 credit unit is estimated to be

Study time – 21 hours, TMA -3 hours, and Facilitation-6 hours.

Semester:

A Semester is an academic period of twelve weeks, excluding examination period. NOUN
offers two semesters of study per year: January to March and July to September then

semesters if there was obstruction that caused a semester to be omitted like COVID.

Admission:

NOUN offers admission TWICE yearly or every semester. Whereas conventional
universities offer admission once. That’s why NOUN also has graduates every semester.

admitted in the schools’ first or second semester.
