I hate the course and this is beginning to reflect in my assignment scores. Has anyone here dropped out of a OU course before? And how did you do it? I have completed other courses (Level 2) with the OU scoring in the top band. I do not need this course to complete my degree. I am fully funded on the course due to my financial situation. Do you know if I will have pay the money back if I drop out? also will this affect my financial support in the future? Thanks for your help in advance. i dropped out of a open uni course before christmas as was not my thing and was finding it too hard, i just told my tutor that i was finding it too hard and could not carry on, and just stopped the assignments, mine was also funded and did not have to pay anything back. i understand how hard it is
