Before processing an application

In order to process the application, the student must be attending or the student must have sent the application during his/her attendance period. The study attainment must always be recorded to the period which the student is attending. Therefore, if the student has sent his or her application during attendance period, but you do not process it until he or she is absent, you must record the study attainment of accreditation for the last day of the previous attendance period.

If the student has finished or completed his or her studies, you can reject the application with the Reject application button on the front page of the application.

Therefore, always check the student’s attendance data before processing the application. You can easily get the information by opening the student name link in the main window of the application. If there is the green symbol in the front of student’s name (see figure 1), the student is attending. Read more about the attendance data in the Peppi instructions.

Always read the application submitted by the student carefully. Please read the appendix to the application, in which the student proves their acquired competence. Also check any previous applications and the completed studies of the student so that the same competence is not accredited twice.

If it seems that the student should still complete or correct their application, send it back from the ‘Return’ tab (figure 2). Select ‘Student for editing’ and enter what you expect the student to do with the application in the Message field. Finally, click ‘Save’.

You can transfer the application to another person for processing if you are not responsible for processing the application. Do this from the Workflow/transfer to -tab. In the ‘Select new handler’ drop-down menu, type the person to whom you want to transfer the application and write a message to them. Click ‘Save’.
