Who we areBuilt around the realities
Built around the realities
of student life.
NOUN Update Educational Consultant is a registered educational consultancy and the operator of NOUN Update, an independent digital platform serving prospective and current students of the National Open University of Nigeria.
Many distance learners balance education with work, family and other responsibilities. Finding the right information, understanding registration requirements and keeping a consistent study routine can take time they already have little of.
We bring practical information, learning resources and academic planning tools together to help students make informed decisions and take an active role in their education.
Our vision
A learning environment where distance learners can find the guidance, resources and confidence they need to pursue their academic goals.
Our role
To support students alongside their formal education. Admission, assessment, academic records and awards remain the responsibility of the University.

Clarity, responsibility and student agency.
Useful support helps students understand their options and make their own decisions. These principles guide how we want our platform to serve learners.
Official sources come first
Students should confirm fees, deadlines, admission requirements and academic decisions through official University channels. Our Sources Policy and Editorial Policy explain our approach to information.
Learning and academic responsibility
Students remain responsible for their assessed work and for following their institution's rules. Practice resources and explanations should support understanding and independent study.
Thoughtful use of technology
AI-assisted explanations and automated tools can make mistakes. Review their outputs against course materials and official guidance, and use your own judgement when applying them.
Privacy and clear ownership
Keep your University login details private. Review our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use before using services, and contact us with questions about your information or account.
Respect for learning materials
Course materials and third-party content remain subject to their owners' rights and applicable permissions. Access through our platform does not transfer ownership or grant unrestricted reuse.
Feedback that improves the platform
We welcome reports of outdated information, broken links and problems with our tools. Our Corrections Policy provides guidance on raising content concerns.
