Transcript of records and study certificate

The studies completed at the University of Eastern Finland are saved in the Peppi student and study register and will appear in your transcript of records. The transcript includes information about completed courses, grades and ECTS credits, teachers’ names, etc. The credits will appear in the transcript only after a course is completed and graded. This takes a few weeks, e.g. after an exam. Please note that only passed courses show in the official transcript.

If you are a student at the University of Eastern Finland or the Open University of Eastern Finland and you have a valid UEF user account, you can download your official digitally signed transcript of records and / or study certificate from Atomi, which you can find in Peppi. Each study right forms its own document.

If you need a signed and stamped paper transcript of records or study certificate, or you are no longer a student at the University of Eastern Finland (degree students are able to access Peppi for 180 days after their graduation and exchange students for 180 days after their study right is finished) and thus you do not have a valid UEF user account, you may request a paper version or a digitally signed one from the Student and Learning Services’ Customer Service (contact information below) or order at UEF E-services (opens in a new tab, requires logging in) Also remember to update your address in Peppi, documents are send to the address found in Peppi, if you do not give another address.

A student of the Open University of Eastern Finland should check the instructions on how to order a transcript of records from the page of the Open University of Eastern Finland (opens in a new tab).

Degree students who have completed all the required courses, the thesis and the maturity test are required to fill out a certificate application form and return it to the faculty office. Further information about degree certificates and graduation (opens in a new tab) can be obtained from the faculties.

Digitally signed transcript of records and study certificate

You can download your official digitally signed transcript of records and / or astudy certificate from Atomi, which can be found on the top of the page once entering Peppi. Before going to Atomi, please be sure you have selected the right study right to view under your name at the right top corner, for example your Bachelor’s or Master’s study right, and only then go to Atomi. If you need the document for more than one study right, download them separately. The documents are PDF documents equipped with a digital signature to confirm their authenticity and integrity. Both documents are available in Finnish and in English. You can save the document as a PDF-file and forward it as attachment to email. 

These digitally signed documents are official only in their digital form and not as paper-printed copies, for example. The files cannot be modified, as any change made to the file invalidates the digital signature.

Digital signatures are replacing handwritten signatures and stamps. The electronic documents should be a valid and primary alternative in all situations where signed and stamped paper documents have been used thus far.
