I got an email recently saying full-time undergrad applications for student finance are open. Would TSR also send out an email when part-time undergrad applications open? As all OU students are considered part-time so the email sent out doesn't apply to us.

I've applied for public health
Does enrolling mean your place is confirmed or are there limited places? I assume there are limited places but how difficult does that make it to get a place?

Yes enrolling means your place is confirmed. Sometimes popular modules have waiting lists but youll be informed if thats the case.
I am a current Open University student awaiting my 5th module result and may also be able to help answer questions if required to do so

Which module?
I finished S319 Geology and Sustainability back in May and my result is due on the 23rd of this month but I did 4 modules prior to S319 which are S111, S112, S209 and S309.

My next module will S283 Planetary Science and The Search For Life then I have 2 more modules to complete after S283 so all in by the time I complete my degree I will have done 8 modules which I absolutely don't mind doing as it helps me to focus myself on doing the work and eventually graduate with a Geology / Volcanology.

That's why, maybe, can't find it on my SLC account?!
