studying with the OU


10. What if I don't like studying with the OU after I start?

Often your concerns can be overcome by talking through the issues with your tutor. However, if your circumstances change and you can't continue to study or you decide that the course is not for you, it is possible to withdraw from a course. If after talking to your tutor your concerns remain, you should immediately seek guidance from the study support team at your nearest Regional Centre.

The OU has a refund scheme that operates if you change your mind about studying. You will be given full details about this before we ask you to make any financial commitment.
