Fee Status Policy

In March 2025, The Open University published the Fee Status Policy for the first time. The policy comes into effect on 1st August 2025.

The policy outlines how The Open University assess and determine which fee status students need to pay in line with relevant UK regulations. This is known as your Fee Status.

The policy also outlines the steps you must take if your circumstances change and how such changes may affect your fee status.

Please refer to the relevant Fee Rules document for detailed information about the Fee Rules that apply to you.
