Did anybody start a course with the OU in Feb? Any idea when we'll hear about course / PC grants?

    son received money into his account 3 weeks ish after starting his October course computer money was a couple of weeks later. The money went in before he received any letters from Ou about payment date.

    I started 3 courses in Feb - course and pc grants should be paid within 2-3 weeks of course start, assuming you have been approved for financial support and have applied for the PC grant.

    Good luck with the course(s) btw :smiley:

    I started Feb 7th and mine was in my account on Feb 13th. I got my application in for this year really early, think I sent it last August/Sept.
