If there are places left on a course offering after the regular enrolment period, we open a
late enrolment. During that period you can still enrol on the offering. Late enrolment will appear on your PSP. Please note that in late enrolment students are accepted to the course offering in the order of enrolment, taking into account the previously required competence. You will see in Pakki at the latest in the week before the offering starts whether you have been accepted to the course offering.

How to enrol

How to enrol in Pakki
  1. Go to Pakki and open your PSP.
  2. Check that your PSP contains all the studies you want to enrol in.
  3. Add missing studies to your PSP via the study search. (Instructions for adding studies.)
  4. Go to the enrolments tab. You will see a list of course modules you can enrol in.
  5. Select the course offering you want to enrol in and click “enrol”.

If the offering has small groups, select your preferred group from the dropdown and then enrol.

You can also enrol in most cross-institution studies offered by other higher education institutions through Pakki.

Please note that:

  • You can also enrol in studies that are not in your PSP, but we do not recommend it. In that case the studies remain outside your PSP and will appear on your degree transcript under the heading “Studies not placed in the PSP structure”.
  • If you want to cancel your enrolment, do so in Pakki during the enrolment period. If the enrolment period has ended, you can cancel your enrolment by contacting the teacher.
  • If your study right is ending, the enrolment may appear greyed out in your PSP. This often concerns pathway students or degree students who have enrolled in the next semester’s studies or whose study right is ending.

Acceptance to studies

The responsible teacher accepts students to the course offering when the regular enrolment period ends. The teacher confirms the enrolments no later than one week after the enrolment period ends. You can see in Pakki whether your enrolment has been accepted and whether you have been selected for the course offering. Once your enrolment has been accepted, the study schedules will appear in your Laurea Outlook account calendar.

You can participate in a course offering only if you have sufficient prior competence in accordance with the curriculum. You can find the prerequisite requirements for the course offering from the course’s implementation plan. You must ensure that the required prerequisites are met yourself.

Enrolled students are accepted to the course according to the acceptance criteria. Students are selected for the course in order of credits from highest to lowest. Read carefully the Acceptance criteria for AMK studies or Acceptance criteria for YAMK studies before enrolling in studies.

Places on core competence and complementary competence course offerings can also be reserved for cross-institution students, Open AMK students and exchange students.

Confirm your place on the course offering
  • Confirm your place on the course offering or project by participating in the first teaching session or by informing the responsible teacher of your absence.
  • The teacher may define another method for confirming your place. Confirm your place within a week of the start of the offering.
  • The teacher informs all accepted students about the procedure. It is also described in the course implementation plan. Remember to read the implementation plan carefully.

If you cannot participate in the first teaching session or follow the given instructions for a justified reason (e.g. you fall ill), contact the responsible teacher.

Enrolment will be rejected if you have not informed that you will be absent from the start of the course or if the reason for absence cannot be considered justified. In that case another student may be admitted in your place.

Cancelling enrolment

If you do not intend to participate in a course offering you have been accepted to, you must cancel your enrolment before the course offering begins. Cancel your enrolment by contacting the responsible teacher. This is important so that a student on the waiting list can take your place.

Cancellation of the course offering or project

A course offering or project may be cancelled if there are not enough participants or if an obstacle arises to organising it. The responsible teacher informs affected students about the cancellation.

What does late enrolment mean?

Late enrolment refers to the situation where places remain on a course offering after the regular enrolment period has ended. In late enrolment students are accepted to the offering in order of enrolment, provided that the required prior studies or competence for the course are in order. Acceptance to the course offering takes place at the latest in the week before the offering starts.

Can a course offering or project be cancelled?

A course offering or project may be cancelled if there are not enough participants or if an obstacle arises to organising it. The responsible teacher informs students about the cancellation.

Can my enrolment be rejected?

Yes, enrolment can be rejected if you have already completed all the studies required for the degree.

“The scope of the degree may be exceeded only in exceptional cases on the basis of an approved personal study plan (PSP) and provided that graduation is not delayed. A student’s enrolment in studies may be rejected if all studies required for the degree have already been completed.” (Degree rules § 21).

Exceptions where exceeding the scope of the degree may be agreed (in Finnish only) .

Why does the course offering appear greyed out in the PSP?

Is your study right ending? In that case the enrolment may appear greyed out in your PSP. This often concerns pathway students or degree students who have enrolled in the next semester’s studies or whose study right is ending.

When will the study schedules appear in the calendar?

Once your enrolment has been accepted, the study schedules will appear in your Laurea Outlook account calendar.

In what order are students selected for core competence studies?

In core competence AMK studies students assigned to the groups attached to the offering’s basic information (including pathway students) are accepted. Vacant places are then offered to students from the same or other campuses and degree programmes for whom the study is compulsory or an alternative. Finally, other YAMK students who have chosen the core competence study as an optional complementary competence study may be accepted.

In core competence YAMK studies students planned for the groups created for that course (including pathway students) are primarily accepted. Vacant places are then offered to students from the same and then other YAMK programmes for whom the study is compulsory or an alternative. Finally, other YAMK students who have chosen the core competence study as an optional complementary competence study may be accepted.

Students participating in cross-institutional studies from other higher education institutions are accepted to Laurea’s course offerings in order of enrolment by the course’s responsible teacher.

In what order are students selected for complementary competence studies?

Students from other higher education institutions participating in cross-institutional studies are accepted to Laurea’s course offerings in order of enrolment by the course’s responsible teacher.

Complementary competence AMK studies are generally open to students from different fields and intake groups (taking into account prerequisite requirements). Places are filled first for any special target group, then for students for whom the study accrues required own-field credits in the degree requirements and lastly for other students.

In complementary competence YAMK studies students are accepted in order of credits from highest to lowest.

Can AMK students study YAMK courses?

AMK students cannot study YAMK-level core or complementary competence studies.
