Changes to policy and curriculum

Social Media Policy

In January 2021, The Open University made a number of significant changes to the Social Media Policy. These changes will affect all students.

The changes made

There are a number of significant changes from the previous version of this policy (Version 1.0). In summary the document has been restructured to emphasise:

  1. Staying safe online (section 3 and paragraph 5.1)
  2. Applicability of Open University regulations and policies to the online space (paragraphs 1.1 and 6.1)

Please talk to your Student Support Team if you need any further information. You can find out how to contact them on Contact the OU.
