Open university
This article is about the general concept. For the school in the UK, see Open University. For other uses of the term, see Open university (disambiguation).
An open university is a university with an open-door academic policy, with minimal or no entry requirements.[1] Open universities may employ specific teaching methods, such as open supported learning or distance education. However, not all open universities focus on distance education, nor do distance-education universities necessarily have open admission policies.[2]
