Sources Policy

The source hierarchy NOUN Update uses for academic news, fees, programmes, schedules and student guidance.

Last reviewed: 2 September 2026

Preferred sources

We prioritise primary sources: official NOUN websites and portals, published university documents and circulars, academic calendars, and notices from relevant Nigerian education bodies.

Secondary and community information

Reliable news reports, staff or study-centre communications and consistent student reports may provide useful context. They are labelled appropriately and do not override a conflicting official source without strong evidence.

Links and preservation

Where practical, consequential articles link to the official source and record when it was checked. If a source later disappears, we may retain a clear citation or archived record for verification.

Fees and deadlines

Fee figures, deadlines and eligibility rules must show their applicable session or effective period. Estimates are identified as estimates, and students are reminded to confirm final charges or decisions on the official portal.
