Making a decision

The justifications for the student’s application must show that the student received their education abroad or in a language other than Finnish or Swedish. The student must provide you with the certificates equivalent to comprehensive school or upper secondary school. No exemption is granted on the basis of citizenship or mother tongue.

The decisions of the application are made from the right side of the Studies and decisions section of the application window.

On the Process tab, click the Go directly to decision-making button. Select a decision from the drop-down menu (Figure 2):
