Open university (concept)

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]
