Changes to policy and curriculum

Fee Rules (Undergraduate) Scotland 2026/27

In March 2026, The Open University published the Fee Rules (Undergraduate) Scotland 2026/27. 

There are some changes from the previous version of this policy (Fee Rules (Undergraduate) Scotland 2025/26). These are: 

  • New Paragraphs 4.8 and 4.9 to clarify how the SAAS part-time fee grant applies to module fees, including when a student contribution may be required.  
  • New Paragraph 6.18 added to clarify when funding entitlement and fee liability patterns are assessed and fixed.  
  • Section 7 updated to improve clarity and readability. It has been reorganised into two subsections separating discretionary fee credits and fee refunds. No change to content.  
  • Paragraph 8.2 updated to confirm you will be informed of any additional residential school costs before you register.
