The National University Commission(NUC) has approved the Academic Brief of the University.This was made known in a letter to the Vice-Chancellor ref. no. NUC/AS/45/Vol.1 dated March 3rd 2007, signed by the Dirctor of Academic Standards, Prof. L. Alhassan Bichi.
The letter stated as follows, "I am directed to inform the University that NUC Management Committee at its meeting of 1st November 2007 has considerd and approved the Academic Brief document as a planning document for the University."
Nasarawa State University had in February 2006 sent its proposed Academic Brief document to NUC for approval. But the regulatory body was so impressed with the document, due to tis importance in planning and development that it resolved to mandate every university in the country to design and abide by such brief. Furthermore, it has made the brief the pre-requisite for the establishment of a new university.
The Academic Brief is an important document that outlines both academic and physical planning of the university. It emcompasses the philosophy, aims and objectives, academic pattern, organisational structure as well forecast on the future growth and development of the university, among others.
The document was designed by the Academic Planning Unit of the University.
