Student Policies and Regulations

Assessment Handbook (Microcredentials)

The Assessment Handbook (Microcredentials) has now been replaced with separate policies that cover different aspects of assessment whilst studying with The Open University. Separate course-specific information on your microcredential website will tell you about the individual assessment task for your microcredential.

Please be assured that there have been no changes to our assessment policy; this is just a change to how this information is presented.

If you wish to learn more about the policies surrounding our assessments, please visit the following policies:

• End-of-Module Assessment (EMA) Policy
• Module Results Determination Policy
