How do you get into the open university?

If I don’t get into my firm choice of university, I have decided I would like to do the open university instead. Is this possible? Do I go through clearing for this? Or do I apply now?

OU isn't selective. You don't use UCAS you just enrol on the course. All the information is on their website.

You'll need to reapply for student finance using the part time application as OU is only eligible for pt funding (and only tuition fees loan - no maintenance loan)

Don't enrol unless you're willing to pay fees in line with the cancellation conditions if you're not sure about if you'll be taking the course or not.

Thank you so much. Will I be able to enrol and change my student finance to part time in mid August (after results) or will that be too late?
