Message from the Dean

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, National Open University of Nigeria. This handbook is a maiden issued by the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences (FAS) which contains the rules and regulations governing the undergraduate programmes in the Faculty. The handbook is a must for all students of the Faculty. The information contained in it is necessary for students’ registration, choice, of course, programme planning, duration of the study and other relevant information that will help the students during their stay in the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN). It also contains a brief history of the University and the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, the SIWES/Farm Practical Year, Laboratory practicals, as well as Teaching and Research Farm. The handbook is, therefore, necessary for all students who want to study Agricultural Sciences at the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN).

It is hoped that this document will serve as a guide to the new and stale students in the Faculty. It also aimed to provide the general public hands-on information not only about the Faculty generally but specifically about all the programmes on offer in the Faculty.

It is my pleasure to therefore recommend this prospectus to all the students, the university community at large and other interested parties.

Dean, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences
