OU Students Past, Present and Future

Thanks Gemmzie,

I'm going to think about it as I prefer hiding my condition and am not sure if I feel comfortable bringing it out into the open :rotfl:

Just got my last TMA back and got 98% - shame it's only worth 10% .

Unfortunately it doesn't look like you can. I'm looking at p26 of the rewards booklet and it refers to 'full or part payment for modules at all levels of Open University undergraduate programmes.'

Hi Guys,

Has anybody got any experience of exams with the OU. Mine's not until October but as I don't have a very good track record with OU exams I could do with some tips!

Thanks

Have you received a revision guide with your course? Previous exam papers? Is there a revision tutorial?

I haven't done an exam with the OU yet.

I know a little, but only from having a fantastic Disability support through my old university.

Definitely apply, it's based on your needs rather than disability. Focuses on how to make studying easier for you so you aren't disadvantaged by your illness.

Evening guys - I wanna register for my next course using financial support - would I call them up and register that way....cos when I try to online, it only gives me an option of paying!! (Obv don't wanna be doing that when I know I have financial support available) Thanks

How many credits is the course? You can only get financial support for 30 or 60 credit courses.
