The University follows the ‘Credit System’ for most of its programmes. Each credit in our system is equivalent to 30 hours of student study comprising all learning activities (i.e. reading and comprehending the print material, listening to audio, watching video, attending counselling sessions, teleconference and writing assignment responses). Thus, a four credit course involves 120 hours of study. This helps the learner to know the academic effort one has to put in, to successfully complete a course. Completion of an academic programme (Degree, Diploma or Certificate) requires successful completion of both the assignments and the term-end examination of each course in a programme.
