Restoring and extending study entitlement

Discretionary extension of study entitlement

If a student is not able to complete his/her studies during the study entitlement period, he/she 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. 

Apply to have study entitlement extension

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.

 

Application for restoring study entitlement

A student who has lost his/her study entitlement may apply for restoration of their study entitlement. 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 he or she is exempted from the tuition fee by the given deadline, 31st July, he or she will be registered as resigned. The Student can apply for a re-establishment of study entitlement after he or she has 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.
