Registration for Academic Year
If you plan to begin or continue your studies during the academic year, and you have some study entitlement left, you must register for the whole academic year. You may change your registered status at the beginning of the third term. Registration must be done between 1 and 31 August 2003 through Internet / WinhaWille. It is also possible to register for the academic year by filling in registration forms available at the Offices.
If you plan to postpone your studies, you must register your absence for one academic year at a time between 1 and 31 August 2003. You may change your registered status in January if you wish to continue your studies again from then on. Registration is done through WinhaWille or via a registration form at the Offices.
Only students who have registered their presence on the course for the academic year will be given entitlement to study and the right to receive grants. Students who do not register will lose their entitlement to study. (583/2001,15§).
Enrolment for Study Units / Courses
Students must enrol for the study units they wish to study. The student also has the opportunity to study courses other than those included in the Degree Programme throughout the academic year. Information on available courses is provided six weeks before the following term (see chapter 3.1.). In addition, the third study term is known as the ’intensive exchange’ term, during which the offerings from other Degree Programmes are aimed at students.
Only students registered as present can sign up for the study units. New students do not need to enrol for first term study units. Use of WinhaWille requires a user ID and password, available from the Office. Info-sessions on enrolment are held for new students at each institute, before the start of the second term. Written instructions are also distributed for enrolment at www.laurea.fi. If there are any problems with enrolment, the Office will provide assistance.
Study Pass
As a Laurea student, you can apply for a Study Pass and complete Degree Programme courses at other polytechnics. The Study Pass is used to profile your degree, adding new dimensions to your studies! There are 10 polytechnics from which to choose in the Uusimaa region. Visit the joint polytechnic Study Pass website at: www.diak.fi/opintopassi
The maximum amount of study permitted under the Study Pass is 10 study credits. According to the primary rule, compulsory studies belonging to your own Degree Programme cannot be replaced by studies completed under the Study Pass. The basis is that Study Pass studies are accredited in your degree as optional studies.
For more information on the Study Pass and studies between other polytechnics, consult your Office and visit the Laurea website at www.laurea.fi
Virtual Polytechnic
The Virtual Polytechnic is a national consortium of Finnish polytechnics. In the Virtual Polytechnic portal polytechnics offer various, primarily online-based courses. Virtual Polytechnic studies are free of charge to all degree students.
All degree students registered as present can browse the online course offering at www.virtuaaliamk.fi. They can also register and fill out an electronic application form. The application form is used to select the desired courses from any of the polytechnic's course offerings. Instructions for filling out the application form can be found on the portal page ’Studies/Available Courses and How to Apply’.
Included with the information for each course is a contact person (’For further information, contact’), who can be contacted for study-related matters. Matters concerning joint Virtual Polytechnic studies can also be addressed to the eStudent Affairs Office at each polytechnic. The address for Laurea’s eStudent Affairs Office is eOpintotoimisto@laurea.fi. The electronic contact form can be found on the Virtual Polytechnic website under ’Studies/Counselling and Information Services’.
After the Laurea virtual studies contact person has endorsed the application, it is sent to the respective polytechnic decision-maker as soon as the course registration period is over. Notification of endorsement and acceptance into the course(s) is automatically sent to the applicant’s email address. It is important to consult the tutor lecturer regarding the compatibility and accreditation of courses with the student’s own degree. The course taken will be accredited when the polytechnic in question has returned the student progress report, which is then attached to the Application for Accreditation and returned to the Office.
