Applications of study entitlement

Application for restoring study entitlement

A student who has lost their study entitlement may apply for restoration of their study entitlement (excluding students in tailor-made programmes). Study entitlement may be restored in cases where the student is able to complete the remaining studies within a reasonable time after the re-establishment.

Students obligated to pay yearly tuition fees are considered to have neglected their obligation to register if they have failed to pay the tuition fee for the following academic year. If the Student continuing the studies does not pay the fee or provide a document based on which they are exempted from the tuition fee by the given deadline, 31st July, they will be registered as resigned. The Student can apply for a re-establishment of study entitlement after they have paid the tuition fee (8 000 or 10 000 euros) and the fee for re-establishment of study entitlement (50 euros). The Head of student affairs makes the decision concerning re-establishment of study entitlement. If the decision is negative, the paid tuition fee is reimbursed.

If your study entitlement has begun 1.8.2015 or after you are able to apply with the form below.

If your study entitlement has started before 1.8.2015, you can reapply in joint application or separate application. You can apply in separate application if you have been registered as resigned from Laurea for at least one semester and you are otherwise eligible to apply.

You can apply for the right to complete your degree at Laurea in a separate application if you have completed 160 credits (Bachelor’s Degree) or 55 credits (Master’s Degree).Read more: L160 separate application (Bachelor) or L55 separate application (Master's degree programmes taught in Finnish). If necessary, you can supplement the missing studies at the Open UAS in order to meet the criterias for a separate application. Check the selection criteria for the degree you are applying for in the description of the degree programme. Learn more about applying in a separate applications

In accordance with a government decree, a fee of 50 euros will be charged for processing the application. If you do not have an online bank account, please contact the Student Affairs' office for card payment.

If your studies are older than ten years, before filling the application, contact Student Affairs Office of your campus.

Apply to have your study entitlement restored

Follow the instructions below:

  1. Log in with your online bank service access codes.
  2. Fill in the required information (please note that the payment can also be made by another person)
  3. Conduct the payment via Paytrail service (note extra charge 1 € via Osuuspankki and Danske bank). 
  4. Fill in the application for restoring the study entitlement or discretionary extension of study entitlement. You will receive a link to your email which makes it possible to access the application within 30 days after the payment.

 

Discretionary extension of study entitlement

If a student is not able to complete their studies during the study entitlement period, they must apply for a discretionary extension before his/her study entitlement period ends.

The student must present the special reasons he/she uses to justify the application.

It is only possible to apply for an extension of the study entitlement during the application periods: 1.11. – 30.11. and 1.5. – 31.5. 

Enter the application with your Laurea account and password. 

In accordance with a government decree, a fee of 50 euros is charged for processing the application.

In case you don't have access to online bank service, please contact the Student Affairs Office for cash/card payment. 

It is only possible to grant an extension to a study entitlement if the student’s graduation within the extension period is realistic.

It is generally only possible to apply for an extension once and only up to a year.

An extension is not granted if the student has already completed all the requirements for the degree. 

Decisions on applications are sent to the student’s email address. Please make sure that your email account is not full. An extension is only granted for a special reason and it is always discretionary. It must be realistic to complete the studies within the extension period.

The study entitlement of students who have not been granted an extension will be declared expired and the student will be registered as resigned.
