Thanks for your reply.
Your welcome email (Titled: Your account is ready to go) says :

Hello Jennifer

When you're researching courses it can be hard to keep track of everything.
Our study planner will help you keep everything OU-related together.
You can:

•Compare up to four courses that you're considering to study
•Receive reminders about registration deadlines
•Use our tool to find time for study and store the results
•Make sure you're study ready
•Consider your payment options and save the results

----

But (it looks like) courses only appear on our StudyHome IF and WHEN you apply for them.
I can't see any great handy tool or way to compare them , on screen, before or after filling the application form out.
You just have to read them through and be sure of picking the course you really want.

And how could I WITHDRAW an application that's i've made please?
I can't see any way to do this on the website? (No money has been paid)

Thankyou.
