proper clarification. We wish to reassure all our students of our commitment to
excellence, equity and fair play in relationship with them.
8. SPPS (Coloured) Card
SPPS/Coloured card is the Student’s
Personal Payment Schedule. Every registered student is given SPPS card in order

Situation(s) may arise that could necessitate
deferment of programme by a student. In order to enable the institute
accommodate the student on resumption however, he/she shall pay the institute
as deferment fee
i. The sum of =N=1, 000.00 if the period
of deferment is NOT more than 6 months.
ii. The sum of =N=2, 000.00 if the period
is above 6 months and not above One
Year.
iii. Any deferment period more than ONE YEAR
shall pay the institute the sum of =N=3, 000.00.
In

b. Abandonment
of programme: the following actions could be classified as abandonment on
the part of a student;
i. Stopping lectures/school for non
payment of Tuition fee
ii. Stopping school without notifying the
institute
However, if such
a student must be allowed to continue his programme from where he stopped,
abandonment fee
shall be paid as follows
i. The sum of =N=2, 000.00 if the period
of Abandonment is NOT more than 3 months
ii. The sum of =N=4,000.00 if the period is
above 3 months and not more than 6 months.
iii. Any Abandonment period more than 6 months shall attract payment of

Nevertheless,
a student may decide not to pay for abandonment of his programme. In such a
situation the student shall be allowed to graduate according to the schedule
during registration. That is, extension of programme shall not be allowed (ref:
1 above, Time frame for programme)
10. Change of Course
Management has put qualified
personnel in place to help counsel candidate during enquiry (i.e. before
registration). If a student wishes to change from the course he was initially
registered, the decision shall be subject to the following conditions
1. The concern student shall
obtain the form from the Accountant
with the sum of =N=1, 000.00.
2. All decision in regard to the
change shall be subject to the date the application for the change was
received.
3. However, no application for
change of course will be approved or
honoured if the period the student has stayed on his current programme
is calculated to be half of the total period the current course should last.
This is only applicable to courses that are not related like SEF/DOM, SEF/HWM,
CAD/Any of the diploma courses.
4. Condition NO.3 above may not be
applicable to students changing from one programme to a related course like CTF
to any DIPLOMA course.
11. Change
of name:
It is strictly specified on our
application form that students/applicant should write their names in capital or
block letters. Besides, we also know that our programmes are basically intended
for persons from secondary school level and above. This presupposes that the
students should have known their formal or official names or how appropriately
that the students should be addressed. However, a situation might still
necessitate a change of name by a registered student. In which case, Noble
Computer Institute will be willing to effect such a change but for some
conditions like
12. Deferment
of Payment: The institute has been considerate to students in terms of
payment of tuition fees for which the SPPS card was designed to show the extent
the institute can permit a student’s payment in installment, the date of such
payment and the amount to be paid. However, a student may want the institute
defer his payment date as stipulated on the SPPS card for obvious reason(s). In
which case the institute may grant such request under the following conditions
1.
The institute shall not grant
deferment of payment beyond two days from the date such payment is due
2.
In the case of 1 above the branch coordinator shall be
in power to approve such deferment
3.
Any student asking for
deferment beyond two days shall seek the approval from the area coordinator,
the dean of studies or the director.
13. TRAINING APPROACH:
We believe & emphasize
theory as much s we emphasized practical. In fact a student who has been taught
theoretically tends to build up conceptual knowledge and principles in terms of
application areas. However, after the interesting class work, each student
is assigned a computer for practical on the basis of one computer to one person.
This is the reason why our examination is 50% practical and 50% theory.
14. GRADING
STRUCTURE:
At the end of any examination
the results are graded as follows:
GRADING SCHEME
A
= 80 – 100 DISTINCTION
B
= 70 – 79 UPPER CREDIT
C
= 60 – 69 CREDIT
D
= 50 – 59 LOWER CREDIT
E
= 40 – 49 PASS
F
= 0 – 39 FAIL
15. GRADUATION:
The Institute conducts graduation
ceremony once every year, which is compulsory for every student who completed
his/her computer programme in the institute. In this regard =N=1,000.00
graduation fee is compulsory for all students.
16. CAUTION FEE:
Going by the challenges we have had
in the past in respect of condition (5) above, the management has deemed it fit
to place caution fee of =N=500.00 on every registered student to enable the
institute maintain her equipments and replaced damaged items by students.
