Part Two: Becoming a Student

Step Two: Choosing your Home Institution

How to Choose a Home Institution

Students will be required to select a Home Institution from the list of NetTel@Africa partner institutions. Students may select any of these institutions so long as they meet the minimum admission requirements for NetTel and their Home Institution. The Home Institution is where the student registers, pays fees, and receives credit. All students will register for NetTel@Africa courses at their home institution and ultimately receive course credits and their degree (diploma) from their home institution. Due to this fact, students participating in the Training Programme in ICT Policy and Regulation are subject to the rules and regulations of the home institution.

Finding a NetTel Advisor at your Home Institution

Once you choose a Home Institution you will need to find a NetTel Advisor. This person must be a faculty member of your home institution who understands the structures and processes of the NetTel Postgraduate Training Programme. The role of an advisor is important to your success. Your advisor will help answer questions regarding NetTel and the structures and processes of your Home Institution. Your advisor will also help you access local learning resources as well as guide you in choosing which NetTel Courses to take. To find a NetTel Advisor, please locate the NetTel Liaison at your Home Institution on the list below. The listed NetTel Liaison may not necessarily become your Advisor, however the Liaison will be able to help you find an Advisor.
