How is assessment done in this programme?

For all programmes, learner's performance on each course is assessed by a written examination and by the submission of online assignments. Students cannot sit for the written examinations for a course unless they have completed all the compulsory assignments.

The grade awarded for the course is based on the mark obtained in the written examination and on the combined mark for the assignments on the course.

Examinations take place at the end of every semester at various University examination centers around the country.

How are examinations conducted?

1. Examinations will be written during the last 2 weeks of every semester, and students will
     need to visit UNN examination centers close to them to write their examinations. Please
