If you want to terminate your studies entirely, you will apply for renouncing your study right.
Suspending your studies means that you do not continue studying and do not earn credits.
Renouncing your right to study
If you are considering renouncing your study right, please note that this decision is permanent. Once you renounce your study right, you can no longer complete your studies at UEF. The only way to regain your study right is to apply through the standard student admission process again.
How to renounce your study right
- Download the form Renouncement of Right to Study (docx) from the Forms page on Kamu.
- Fill in the form, print it and sign it by hand. The form will not be processed without a handwritten signature.
- Submit the signed form to Student and Learning Services in one of the following ways:
- in person at the service desk
- by post
- as an email attachment (scanned or a picture) to [email protected]

Suspending your studies
If you are considering suspending your studies and plan to apply for unemployment benefits, please note the following:
- The university does not issue suspension certificates. You can prove the suspension of your studies with, for example, an official transcript of records.
- You are entitled to unemployment benefits when you have demonstrably terminated your studies. In practice, this means that you have:
- graduated
- renounced your right to study
- lost your right to study, or it has been revoked
- demonstrably suspended your studies for a minimum of one year.
If you have questions about unemployment benefits, please contact the TE Services or your unemployment fund.
