The Open University of Hong Kong ('''OUHK''', '''OpenU''', ) is a Hong Kong university providing sub-degree, degree and postgraduate courses leading to awards and qualifications principally through a system of open access and Distance Education . The university is a self-financing, Non-profit Organisation . Its main campus is located at Ho Man Tin in Kowloon . Additionally, an Island Learning Centre in Sheung Wan , on Hong Kong Island was established in autumn 2000 . The university was initially named Open Learning Institute ('''OLI''', 公開進修學院). Under the expansion of education in 1990s in Hong Kong, the establishment of institute introduced distance learning to Hong Kong and set an alternative path of continuing education for its working force. Students are able to adjust the pace of learning according to their own conditions. As programmes are self-financing, there are no financial subsidies from the Hong Kong Government for the university itself. However, full-time students may get grants and loans from the scheme "Financial Assistance Scheme for Post-secondary Students" (FASP), while other distance learning students are able to make special loan arrangements with a bank.
