TNOU Credit System

The University follows the “Credit system” for its Programme. Each credit in the system is equivalent to 30 hours of student study comprising all learning activities (i.e., reading and comprehending the print material, attending to face-to-face counselling sessions, teleconference sessions where available and writing assignment responses/open book tests). Thus, for example, a four-credit Course expects120 hours of study from the student. Credit System helps the learners to understand the academic effort they have to put in to successfully complete a Course/Programme. Completion of an academic Programme requires successfully clearing the requirements of both Continuous Assesment and the Term-End Examination of each Course in a Programme.

TNOU Credit Exchange and Transfer

Under the scheme of Credit Exchange/Transfer in force at the University, students who had partly completed an approved Programme of study at the Indira Gandhi National Open University [IGNOU] or other Open Universities in India or at a University in Tamil Nadu recognized by the University Grants Commission, can carry forward the credits they had accumulated in the Programme of study concerned and continue the studies at the Tamil Nadu Open University, subject to the conditions laid down by the University (see Section 2.5 below).

TNOU Dual Registration

Students who are already enrolled in a Programme of one year or longer duration can simultaneously register themselves for any one-year Diploma Programme or Certificate Programme of six months duration. University shall not, however, extend any concession, if there is clash of dates for counselling or examination schedules for the two Programmes.
