Bulletins
Scope of Bulletin
The provisions of this undergraduate Bulletin do not constitute a contract
between the University and a student who commences any programme of study, in so
far as it relates to the requirements for that programme, during the effective
period of this Bulletin. Programme requirements are subject to change during
such period, in response to imperatives of the law or accreditation standards.
The specific courses or activities constituting the requirements for any
programme are subject to substitution at any time prior to the completion of
that programme.
Further, the provisions of this Bulletin reflect the general nature and
conditions of the educational services offered by the University and do not
constitute a contract or binding commitment between the University and the
student. Any fees, charges or costs and all academic regulations set forth in
this bulletin are subject to adjustment, cancellation or termination by the
University administrators or its Board of Governors.
The University provides opportunities for students to increase their knowledge
and skills through programmes of instruction in the various disciplines and
through the provision of faculty who are trained and qualified for teaching at
the tertiary level. A student’s acquisition of knowledge and skills, is however,
contingent on the student’s desire to learn and his or her application of
appropriate study techniques. The University does not guarantee that any student
who completes a course or programme of study will have acquired the specific
knowledge or skills necessary for licensing and certification into professions
or professional associations.
Purpose of Bulletin
The Bulletin is the primary general information publication of the University. It
is intended to provide information for students and other persons interested in
the academic programmes and organisations of NCU. In order to understand the
activities and programmes of the institution, it is important for students to
know how to use this Bulletin effectively.
Students should thoroughly familiarise themselves with the General Information
section of the Bulletin. The section answers questions concerning location of
buildings and other facilities on campus, requirements for admission and
graduation, financial information, students’ services and housing. The students’
guide to the Bulletin is the combination of the index, the table of contents and
the glossary. Major events, holidays and semester schedules are listed in the
University Calendar.
Students who have made decisions concerning their area of study should turn to
the section of the Bulletin dealing with their particular programme of interest,
for information about courses and degree requirements. The reader will notice
that colleges are arranged in alphabetical order, with course listings by
department and course number.
Students who have questions concerning their academic progress, curricular or
academic standing should consult their advisers, department chairs or their
college deans. Those with specific questions concerning specialised areas of
study should consult the specific department managing those areas.
