==Students==
More than 50,000 students are currently enrolled in the Open University. In addition to a typical student population, the OUI also attracts under-resourced communities, due to its flexible study system and focus on student support. The OUI is popular with mature students who combine studies with full-time employment, high school students, who take university courses in lieu of high school matriculation courses through the Academia in High School program, and conscripts combining university studies with military service. In addition, the university has support systems in place to assist students studying from abroad, and students with disabilities.

===Student Association===
The Open University's student association provides services and activities in order to improve the university experience of its diverse student population. The association's academic department has instituted several projects to support students in their studies. The scholarship and social engagement department promotes volunteering in non-profit organizations such as the SAHAR mental health association, and the LATET organization for humanitarian aid. The association tailors its efforts to the needs of the student body.
