FAQ

Q :

What is MOU Admission Policy?

A :

The My Open University is established to be "open", with no entry requirements. Nearly all of our courses continue to have no entry requirements. Some courses aimed at professionals’ development or learners who are working in specific jobs, do have entry requirements. The course description will say what they are in the section labelled ‘entry/.

There are, however, some formal requirements:

    (1) You must be at least 18 when the course starts.
    (2) If you are studying full-time at another institution, you must ensure that studying with MoU will not affect your regular academic plan.
    (3) There is no upper age limit.
    (4) Your responsibilities in choosing your courses
    (5) We ensure that learners are only admitted to courses that are suitable for them. MoU reserves the right to decline any application to study without giving a reason.

Q :

What do you Need to Succeed?

A :

To qualify successfully you will need quality learning materials. However, materials alone are not enough. No one can gain a professional qualification overnight. It will take time and commitment from you and the help and support of someone who knows from experience how that success is earned.

My Open University is not a solitary process. It is an alternative study method and is extremely advantageous for students who do not live locally to a course provider or who want the freedom to study when they like and where they like within a structured but flexible, personal timetable.

Q :

How to succeed? - Motivation

A :

Motivation, time management and organization on your part, combined with quality learning materials and mentor support are the secret of your success.

Self improvement, higher qualifications and increased salary, and a better job are the obvious benefits. But it isn't just about money and jobs, it is also about feeling good about yourself by fulfilling your potential, and proving to yourself that you've got what it takes.

Q :

Why to choose My Open University?

A :

With My Open University you choose when, where, how and the pace at which you study – it is convenient, less expensive, and it’s flexible!

Q :

What is MoU's role?

A :

We work to help and support you with programme advice and application assistance, through to enrolment, submission of assignments, examination preparation, and beyond. You are assured of personal attention from our Career Mentors at all times. You can contact them via email, fax, or by post. Or if you prefer, you can arrange to meet our Career Mentor face-to-face. We also offer optional seminars, tutorials and learner open days. All this support costs you nothing extra.

Q :

Will there be any classroom lectures or workshops? Will I be able to meet my mentor face-to-face?

A :

There are no compulsory lectures or workshops. The programmes are designed to be 100% distance learning. Each programme is fully mentor-supported. You are able to contact your mentor whenever you need to, via email or telephone. Additionally, you receive a high level of support from MoU’s Learner Support Mentors.

Q :

Are the study materials text-based or online?

A :

Study materials are text-based (with the exception of few short online courses). We post materials to you and you work from home. You will receive all materials you require to successfully complete your course. In some instances, you will also receive a library card with access to an online library.

Q :

How long does it take?

A :

Depends on the programme, but some programmes have a minimum and maximum study period. Generally you will spend as much or as little as you would if you were taking the programme by formal part-time study, but this is, of course, very flexible.

Q :

Can I afford it?

A :

Paying for your learning is an investment in your personal development. It should not be viewed as an expense or a cost because there is clear evidence to show that qualified people earn, over time, significantly more than less qualified people. However, paying for your learning is not always easy, so we suggest you consider the funding options.

Q :

Can I study anywhere in the world?

A :

Yes. Programmes are flexible with text based learning materials which you can study completely independently if you have no centre close by, or by networking through MoU’s open office. Sometimes you may have optional or compulsory designated campus attendance, normally for examination purposes.

Q :

I have plenty of work experience in my area of interest but no real qualifications. Can I still apply?

A :

For many courses, experience can be just as valuable as qualifications, so if you haven’t studied for a while you need not be at a disadvantage. Each applicant is considered on his or her individual merits; write to one of our Career Mentors today to check your eligibility.

Q :

I already have a qualification. Will this qualification allow me to gain exemptions from the course and will the cost be reduced?

A :

Different procedures apply for different programmes. It is often possible to gain exemptions based on previous qualifications and work experience. The best way to find out is to apply. All applications for exemptions will be considered on merit. If exemptions are granted the cost of the programme may also be affected.

Q :

What if I need more time to complete my studies?

A :

If you fall behind, become ill, relocate or otherwise need to defer your studies, we will always try our best to accommodate you and one of our support staff will be on hand to explain the options available to you.

Q :

What if I find the course too hard?

A :

We will not enrol you on a course unless we are confident that you will succeed. If you feel you’ve started at the wrong level, let us know and we’ll transfer you to the right one, where possible with fee refund where terms and conditions apply.

Q :

When does the programme start and when is the application deadline?

A :

My Open University is open to people, places, methods and ideas. You can start and decide your own timing 7/24 round the years with exception to limit set for few courses our Career Mentor will notify to you.

Q :

Who Benefits from using a Mentor? - Someone who is ready

A :

To give up the status quo
To take chances
To be fulfilled by his or her work
To believe that anything is possible
To make a change
To be excited about his or her career prospects

Q :

Why do people hire a Mentor?

A :

They want more out of their lives
They want clarity, confidence, and courage
They want support as they transition into the next phase of their career lives
They want to move forward quickly
They want to recognize their potential and get going

Q :

What about experienced people?

A :

No matter where you are in your career and your life, there is always the next level. We acknowledge and congratulate anyone who is living a life they love. This is my wish and goal for all my clients. But if you are not and you know if your heart, that you want more mentoring may be your answer.

Q :

What can a Career Doctor help you accomplish?

A :

As your Career Doctor, we will help you remove the drudge out of your life and replace it with focused efforts that move you forward. In other words, if you are “working busy” instead of “working smart”, we can help you change the patterns that have become ingrained in your current lifestyle.

Turn your “I can’t” into “I can’t wait!” Jump out of bed in the morning exhilarated to start your day. Learn to love the process and be passionate about your journey and success will come easily. Success is an attitude and a new attitude can be learned.

A Career Doctor is to your Career Life what a Personal Trainer is to Fitness. So let’s get you in shape for that bright new future of yours! And, let’s do it together.

Q :

How is a Career Doctor different from a Therapist?

A :

Career Mentors don't do deep psychological work. We don't get stuck in the past. We work on growth, building momentum, and helping you move forward towards creating a life you love. Sure the past plays a big part in who you are today, but we spend more time working through concerns and issues quickly rather than staying in one place for a long time.

Q :

Who works with a Career Doctor?

A :

People who are tired of living their lives the same way every day, they want more and are ready to do something about it.

Q :

What do you focus on when you work with your clients?

A :

We focus on how to be empowered, and how to have a career and a life you love. We’ll discuss how to overcome career obstacles, fears, and limiting beliefs. You’ll learn how to believe in yourself, recognize your accomplishments, and trust your judgment. And, we’ll work through these issues quickly.

We’ll set up an action plan that you can use immediately. You will find yourself making commitments and keeping them. All created in an environment that is safe and supportive for you.

Writing and Tutoring Servicing

If you do not find your questions answered here, please feel free to contact us.

Q: Do you write essays or assignments for students?
A: No. My Open University is NOT a writing service and is 100% committed to academic honesty. You – as a student – should understand that submitting work that you claim is your own, when it in fact written by someone else, is plagiarism. We warn all students that plagiarism is a serious offense and can result in you receiving a failing grade or being expelled from your school or university. The content of your essay is your responsibility. We assume that the assignments we edit or proofread do not include unattributed sources. My Open University takes no responsibility/liability for detecting or reporting plagiarized material.

A: For Microsoft Word 2003, click on the Tools menu, and then click on Word Count. The word count is the number next to "Words".
