Explanation
Each programme is specifically designed and well planned in such a way, that the programme can be completed in four semesters, but it is recognised that few students will proceed at that pace. Students are given the option to choose up to four courses in each semester. The limit of four courses has been suggested in consideration of your working status and the study load requirements for the courses.
However, it is up to the student to set their own pace for the programme, as long as they don’t exceed the limit of four courses in each semester. Although you will need to consider that the maximum duration of each programme is five years, there is no Cemba/Cempa programme that has a duration more than 5 years. If, on the basis of course selection and the pace of work decided, you are unable to complete the programme in five years, you will have to re-register for the programme.
When you go for registration, the National Open University of Nigeria will provide you, with the complete information, you need to know regarding the conditions for re-registration. It may therefore be advisable for you to plan your course load in a manner that enables you to complete the programme within a course of five years.

- 1st Set: 4 Courses
