The National Open University of Nigeria, NOUN, has informed 300 level and above students that course and examination registration for the 2026_1 semester will end on Tuesday, 28 April 2026.
The notice also states that the portal will be deactivated at exactly 12:00 hours midnight on that date. For affected students, the message is direct; finish registration before the portal closes.
NOUN registration deadline for 2026_1 semester
NOUN fixed Tuesday, 28 April 2026 as the closing date for course and examination registration for students in 300 level and above.
The portal will be deactivated at exactly 12:00 hours midnight. That deadline now sits at the centre of the notice; once the portal closes, the window ends.
Students covered by the notice
This notice applies to NOUN students in 300 level and above.
The update is tied to the 2026_1 semester, and it covers both course registration and examination registration for the affected group.
NOUN 2026_1 examination date
NOUN also stated that the 2026_1 examination exercise will begin on Monday, 4 May 2026.
That gives affected students two clear dates to hold onto; the registration deadline first, then the start of the examination exercise.
Notice to directors of study centres
Directors of Study Centres have been asked to sensitise and publicise the notice to all affected students.
The aim is to help students use the extension before the deadline expires. The university made one point very clear; no further prolongation will be granted for registration.
What affected students should note
The notice contains two fixed points. Registration for 300 level and above ends on 28 April 2026, and the examination exercise starts on 4 May 2026.
For students still holding back, that timeline is now short and firm.
