Sponsorship

Hi Everyone,

My employer is sponsoring my studies. I have printed and filled out the registration form and sponsorship form and sent them to the OU Recruitment team.

I was wondering how my employer will pay them? Will they send an invoice to my supplier? I am curious because I have only 10 days to pay the fees.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Misbah,

It is great that you are planning on studying with the Open University, and that your employer will be paying.

Your Sponsorship and Registration Agreement forms will be processed by our Student Recruitment Advisors, and you will then see on your StudentHome that the modules are registered. 

Normally, a couple of weeks before the start date of the module, you should get access to the module websites, through your StudentHome page.

About two weeks after the module starts, the university will invoice your employer. Your employer would be required to pay the invoice within 30 days of receipt. 

If you have any questions, you can also contact our Student Recruitment Advisors on 0300 303 5303, Monday to Friday 8:00-17:30.

How do you feel about starting study? You may find the following free course, which can be started at any time, useful:
