Registration before 22/12

Received important e-mail from Open University:

As a continuing student you may be aware that in previous years the cut off date for course registration was later than for new students. However, this has sometimes led to course materials arriving late, late starts on courses, and some students having to travel a long distance for tutor groups. There has been increasing student dissatisfaction as a result and as such the final enrolment date for all students - whether new or continuing - will be 22nd December 2010 for courses that start in February 2011. Registration by any means, including online and over the telephone, will not be possible after this date, so you should register promptly to avoid disappointment. The courses affected by this change are all undergraduate 30 and 60 point courses, including short courses where there is a 2-stage registration process. Exceptions will be all Law courses and all remaining short courses.

If you intend to apply for financial support, and you live in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, you will need to ensure that you have reserved on your chosen course, and linked it to financial support by the 1st December 2010, and in order to guarantee that it is assessed in time we need to receive your application form back no later than 8th December 2010.

This is a necessary step in order to manage student numbers and expectations, and your co-operation and understanding is appreciated.

To reserve or register on your next course please log onto your StudentHome Page or visit open.ac.uk/study.
