yAs the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) approaches its 15th convocation ceremony, scheduled for 17 and 18 April 2026, the institution has commenced final academic assessments across its various faculties.
Project defence sessions are currently in progress, providing students with the opportunity to present and defend their research projects as a key requirement for degree completion.
This phase forms an integral part of the university’s rigorous process to identify and verify eligible graduands.
Administrative teams are simultaneously collating comprehensive lists of qualified candidates who have fulfilled all academic and administrative obligations, ensuring that only those who meet the stipulated criteria will participate in the forthcoming graduation events.
The upcoming convocation, which includes a pre-convocation lecture on 17 April and the main award ceremony on 18 April at the university’s Convocation Arena in Abuja, represents a significant milestone for thousands of distance-learning graduates.
These coordinated activities underscore NOUN’s commitment to maintaining academic standards while efficiently preparing for the formal recognition of its students’ achievements.
