Lectures

Classes will begin on February 6th, 2023, and will be offered in a blended mode of study that includes both remote learning (online) and face-to-face classes. Keep in mind that it’s your responsibility as a student to ensure that you have access to data, devices (such as laptops and computers), and internet to be able to attend online classes.

Compulsory Online Orientation for New Students:

For new students, there will be a compulsory online orientation session to familiarize you with the technology used in learning. During this session, you’ll be introduced to the teaching strategies and methods used by your lecturers through online platforms like MyNUST and Microsoft Teams. To make communication with the facilitators easier, you’ll need to install the Telegram app on your mobile device.

You can access the Telegram Channel named “students.nust” by following this link once connected to the app: https://tinyurl.com/h55576x6. More information about the orientation will be sent to registered new students via email after registration. If you need more information, don’t hesitate to contact the facilitator, Gert Schroeder-Nependa, at gschroeder-nependa@nust.na.

Full-time and Part-time Students

For full-time and part-time students, you can download your class timetable from their website at www.nust.na.

Distance Students (COLL):

For distance education students, you’ll be enrolled on eLearning for your courses and can access the study guides and tutorial letters in a flipbook file format or as Turn-it-in assignments on MOODLE. No hard copies will be issued. There will also be face-to-face induction sessions offered during February 2023, so keep an eye out for the dates that will be announced in January.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• All important documents, such as yearbooks, can be found on the NUST website.
• To apply for course credits/exemptions, contact the Faculty Officer.
• Students are allowed to add or cancel a subject or their program of studies before or on 10 March 2023, with a 100% refund (excluding the non-refundable registration fee).

Guidelines on how to add or cancel a subject

Are you looking to add or cancel a subject online using the Student Kiosk? If so, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you out.

Before we get started, here are a few rules you need to keep in mind:

• You can add or cancel a course (subject) with a 100% refund until the last working day of February each year.
• You can’t add or cancel courses (subjects) in distance mode on the Student Kiosk. You’ll need to contact the COLL for this.
• Changing your program isn’t possible on the Student Kiosk.
• You can only add subjects that are part of your program or year of studies. For example, if you’re a 2nd-year student, you can only add/cancel courses (subjects) for 1st and 2nd year. You won’t be able to add 3rd-year subjects. For that, you’ll need the help of your Faculty Officer.

Now, let’s look at the steps to cancel or add a subject:

To Cancel a Subject:

1. Click on “Subject Cancellation.”
2. Choose the subject you want to cancel.
3. Click on “Save subject cancellation.”
4. You’ll see a pop-up message saying “Subject(s) cancelled successfully.”
5. Click “OK” to confirm.

To Add a Subject:

1. Click on “Add Subjects to a Registration.”
2. Click on your qualification.
3. Add the subjects of your choice.
4. Click on “Save and Continue.”

To Cancel a Qualification:

1. Click on Qualification Cancellation.
2. Click on Save.
3. You’ll see a pop-up message saying “Subject(s) cancelled successfully.”
4. Click “OK” to confirm.

And that’s it! You should now know how to add or cancel subjects and cancel a qualification using the Student Kiosk.
