Exemption

A student may only apply for exemption from either language studies or the maturity test. More information about the maturity test can be found in the thesis instructions. If the student has submitted an exemption application for other studies, they have selected the wrong type of application. In that case, return the application to the student for correction – see instructions.

This instruction concerns exemption of the maturity test.

Instructions for exemption of the language studies can be found on the Elmo (login required).

Process the student’s exemption application in Peppi according to the instructions below..

Click on eRPL-accreditation menu on the teacher’s desktop.
