GUIDE FOR NEW STUDENTS

My Study Info service sends a student selection notice to those selected to study.

You must accept the study place and register for attendance / non-attendance by set date. If you are accepted from the reserve list, the deadline will depend on when you receive notification of your study place. You can accept the study place and register as a student in the My StudyInfo service.
 
If you are unable to accept the study place in the My StudyInfo service, please send an e-mail to admissions@lapinamk.fi.

The application services of the Lapland University of Applied sciences (Lapland UAS) send an information letter to all new students by e-mail.

Please pay attention to the following matters after you have been accepted to study in Lapland UAS and are transferring from open UAS to Lapland UAS as a degree student:

1. If your username at the open UAS is based on your student number (in the form A1234567), it will stop working 2 weeks after your right to study at the open UAS expires. Access to the systems (e.g., e-mail, Moodle, K drive, O365, GAFE) and to their information and documents with this id will cease. In this case, you will have to archive the information and documents you need from your email, the university’s server (K drive) and cloud services before your right to study at the open UAS ends (Cloud service instructions, Email instructions, Office 365 email configuration, Office 365 email archiving, Archiving OneDrive files)
   The data and documents in Moodle are automatically transferred to the new degree student user ID (see Student user IDs in the Guide for new students).
   
   
2. If your username at the open UAS is based on your name (in the form flastnam), you will continue to use the same username when studying for a degree, in which case the information in the systems will remain unchanged.
   
   
3. When you start your studies for a degree, registering for study unit implementations in Peppi service is performed with the degree student’s user ID. If the enrolment period has ended, you can ask the instructor responsible for the study unit for help. You can also register via Tuudo (mobile app).
   
   
4. When you become a degree student, the student affairs office mark the studies completed at an open UAS as credit transfers during the first academic year.
   
   
5. Students can print student certificates, transcripts, etc. from Peppi’s Atom service with an electronic signature. In other practical matters related to studying, you can get help from the student affairs office of the expertise group.
   

Students can register for absences in the Oili service.
According to the Universities of Applied Sciences Act, a first-year student may only register as absent for the academic year if they are:

1) Serving in accordance with the Conscription Act (1438/2007), the Civil Service Act (1446/2007) or the law on the voluntary military service of women (194/1995); 
2) On pregnancy or parental leave; or 
3) Unable to start their studies due to being ill or injured/illness or injury.
4) In the first academic year, a student may also register as non-attending if he or she is unable to commence his or her studies due to an official regulation relating to the COVID-19 epidemic or some other serious grounds relating to the epidemic. (516/2020) Subsection 4 as added by virtue of Act 516/2020 is temporarily in force from 1 July 2020 to 31 July 2022.

• Right to non-attendance

Detailed information

A student starting their studies must register for attendance/non-attendance when accepting the study place.

After accepting a study place, students may only register as non-attending without the non-attendance period consuming the normative duration of the studies if they, during their first academic year,

1)   complete service in accordance with the Conscription Act (1438/2007), Non-Military Service Act (1446/2007) or the Act on Women’s Voluntary Military Service (194/1995)

Document: Conscription card (Finnish  only), which proves that the student’s military service will take place during the academic year.

2)   are on pregnancy or parental leave

Documents:  Kela certificate of pregnancy or parental allowance period or, if it is too early for the certificate, a medical certificate of the pregnancy. Paternal leave can be proved with a Kela certificate of paternal leave or, if the baby has not been born yet, a medical certificate of the partner’s pregnancy. Equivalent certificates from the authorities of other countries regarding statutory parental leave are also accepted.

3)   are  unable  to  start  their  studies  due  to  an  illness  or  disability

Documents: Sickness allowance decision or,  if such a decision has not been issued, a medical certificate. The medical certificate must indicate the nature of the illness or disability and that it prevents the student from starting their studies. A sufficient account regarding the obstacles caused by the practical arrangements required by the illness or disability, such as a student housing foundation certificate that the student is in queue for a special flat required by their  disability. The student’s own statement is not sufficient. The account must also  indicate how the matter will be arranged. A disability is a permanent state; invoking a disability alone is not sufficient. The student must invoke another temporary reason related to the disability.

Continuing  students  must  register  as  attending  or  non-attending every academic year according to the procedure specified by the university of applied sciences  (932/2014,  Section  29). Students register for one academic year at a time. However, if the right to study will end in December, the student in question can only register for the autumn semester. A separate notification is provided of the registration method.

Without special grounds as specified in the applicable legislation, a continuing student may not register as non-attending for more than two semesters during the entire duration of the studies without the non-attendance period consuming the normative duration of the studies. A non-attending student cannot attend classes or exams organised by the UAS, complete practical training as a part of studies or receive guidance in a thesis project.

The registration information can be changed during an academic year on special grounds (please note the limitations regarding the first year of studies) by contacting the student  services. The special grounds can be significant changes in the student’s life, such as severe illness of the student or their family member, pregnancy or parental leave, military or non-military service. If necessary, the application must include a written certificate of the matter from the relevant authority.

If you have not attached copies of your certificates to your application during the application period, please upload them to your application by the indicated date. 

If you have problems uploading, send an e-mail to admissions@lapinamk.fi

All the information provided in the joint application by students who have accepted their study place is compared to their certificates. The UAS may revoke a student admission if the applicant has entered incorrect information in the application, and the correct information would not entitle them to the study place. If you do not deliver the requested copies to the UAS, your student admission will be revoked. Copies will not be returned.  

Present your original certificates

The original certificates you used in the joint application will, if necessary, be compared to the copies you provided. Finnish certificates of eligibility to apply are primarily checked using the KOSKI- and SURE-services.  Students accepted to bachelor's degree programmes, who do not have a Finnish secondary degree/higher degree, must present the original certificates on which the admission is based at the campus in Rovaniemi or Kemi, no later than September 25, 2023.

Please notice that if the Lapland UAS cannot verify the original certificates, you will lose your study right.

At universities of applied sciences, we are closely linked to everyday life. Working life and different industries are present, and theoretical, practical and experience-based knowledge are interlinked in learning. Problem-solving and decision-making skills develop when investigating real problems and phenomena in working life. The studies are community-based and collaborative. Students, teachers and working life entities build common knowledge and understanding together.

Digibag – a Digital Toolkit to master digital learning skills.

There are several people in our UAS that can help you with your studies. You have the possibility to get guidance for your studies and learning even before your studies begin. And ofcourse throughout your studies. Guidance is provided by study counsellors, teachers, guidance experts, support services’ staff and representatives of working life. In order to streamline your studies, it’s good to ask for advice and guidance as soon as you start wondering about something.   

Get to know our support services from here.

Starting studies in a university of applied sciences means entering a new situation in life, which may entail moving to a new locality away from friends and family back home, taking responsibility for one’s own life, and beginning studies that differ in nature from studies in a vocational or upper secondary school. The most important factor that eases studying at the start is interaction with others in the same situation. Other students can provide support and information on studying. 

The purpose of student tutoring during the initial phase of studies is to facilitate and support the new student’s integration and orientation into the UAS community and the new situation in life. It is important for new students to meet their fellow students. The goal of tutoring is to awaken the student’s own activeness and reinforce interaction between the student and the staff of the UAS. 

The tutor acts as a bridge between the new student and the staff of the UAS. The new student should learn how to address possible problems and how to solve them. However, the tutor is not a psychologist or a student counsellor, and does not need to know everything. More essential is to know where the information and help can be found. Tutors job is to listen encourage and advise. 

The purpose of tutoring is to…

• be present for the first year students
• help the new student’s to get friends
• help new students find their place in the school community
• improve the grouping of a new group
• create a positive atmosphere
• share information
• introduce a new student to UAS practices and student life
• encourage to participate in various events
• create and develop activities for the first year students
• be the voice of students
• ensures continuity of tutoring

Start exploring your own studies in the curriculum. Curricula can be found in the Study Guide.

Students are allowed to take advantage of studies they have completed at another Finnish or foreign higher education institution or another educational institution, and to include or replace studies with other same level studies, as well as with other proven competences (932/2014, 37§). A student’s competence is central, regardless of where and how the competence was acquired. The recognition of prior learning can be done right at the beginning of studies or at a later stage. The benefits of the recognition of prior learning include e.g., graduation at a faster pace, elimination of overlapping course contents and awareness of your own competences. 
 
It is important that you familiarise yourself with the curriculum and recognise your own learning in relation to the learning objectives of courses. Please get prepared for Individual Study Plan (ISP) discussions by compiling documents for demonstrating your competences, such as competence description forms and work testimonials.
