eRPL Accreditation

With Peppi eRPL tool, you can apply for accreditation based on previous studies or other acquired competencies. You can also apply for pre-accreditation for studies you plan to complete. See the instructions on the application for pre-accreditation page.

Make a separate application for each accreditation case.

Note. You can apply for accreditation with the competence you have acquired in the course only once. For example, if you have completed 5 ECTS course and received accreditation for Jamk’s 5 ECTS course, you cannot apply for accreditation elsewhere with the same course. If instead of a 5 ECTS, a course is only partially accepted, e.g. 2 ECTS, you can apply for accreditation with the remaining part, i.e. 3 ECTS elsewhere.

If you act contrary to the instructions, you are guilty of dishonesty and applications can be rejected afterwards.

Replacement of an individual course

You apply for replacement of compulsory studies in your degree when maximum 15 credits have been completed. You can apply for replacement with individual studies or study modules of maximum 15 credits.

Please note that the language and communication studies have their own instructions on the Elmo intranet (login required).

Inclusion of an individual course

Inclusion is when you apply for accreditation for the degree’s alternative or elective studies. Inclusion is also used when you apply for accreditation to compulsory studies, provided that you have completed more than 15 credits.

Please note that the language and communication studies have their own instructions on the Elmo intranet (login required).
