Hi Dawn

Thanks for your message.

Students are able to make an application for Credit Transfer to use credits from another institution towards OU study.

Please find below the link to our credit transfer website where you will find information including;

•how to apply
•application guidance
•application deadlines
•Guaranteed Assessment Dates

http://www.open.ac.uk/study/credit-transfer/

It's free to apply for credit transfer and you are under no obligation to study with us. Nothing is taken away from your previous study, the purpose of credit transfer is simply to reduce the amount of time it will take you to gain a qualification, and reduce the overall cost. Once your application has been assessed we can help you to plan which modules you need to complete your studies. Assessments normally take around 6 weeks so we recommend that you apply as soon as possible. Please also note that the deadline for a credit transfer application is 13th August 2020.

I hope this information helps and I wish you all the best in your future studies
