Although there are many courses of National Open University of Nigeria, it is necessary for one to know and understand which kind of course he/she  can choose (that will suit his/her SSCE grades result and even Jamb Result).

They are listed below;

1. Combination of the Subjects of your SSCE (WAEC, NECO, or other)

2. Potential cut-off mark of the course. What this simply mean here is that the special cut-off mark in which your particular course need before one can gains admission into it institution.

Their is different between the cut-off mark and the potential cut-off mark. And what is the difference?

The difference is that cut-off mark means the general approved required marks of National Open University of Nigeria, while the potential one is the cut-off mark that is above the first one which will give chances of being admitted even if their are too much applicants that applied for the course. i.e cut-off mark = 120  (which is the general) potential cut-off mark= 150

Meanwhile, the potential one gives one more assurance of getting admission.
