Transcript of records and study certificate

Last modified: 12.03.2026

The studies you complete at the University of Eastern Finland are recorded in Peppi (the student information system) and will appear on your transcript of records. The transcript shows information such as your completed courses, grades and ECTS credits. Credits are shown only after the course has been completed and graded, which may take a few weeks (for example after an exam). Please note that only passed courses are included in the official transcript of records.

If you are a student at the University of Eastern Finland or at the Open University of Eastern Finland and you have a valid UEF user account, you can:

download an official digitally signed transcript of records and/or study certificate via Atomi in Peppi,
order one via UEF E-services (opens in a new tab, requires logging in).

Please note that each study right forms a separate document. You cannot combine credits from multiple study rights into one transcript.

If you need a paper transcript/study certificate or if you no longer have a valid UEF user account (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), you can request a paper version or a digitally signed version from Student and Learning Services Customer Service (contact information below). Please also check that your postal address in Peppi is up to date. Documents are sent to the address shown in Peppi unless you provide a different address.

If you study at the Open University of Eastern Finland, please see the Open University’s instructions on ordering a transcript of records.

If you are graduating (degree students): after you have completed all required studies (including the thesis and the maturity test), you must complete a degree certificate application via UEF E-services (opens in a new tab, requires logging in). For further information, please see your faculty’s graduation instructions (opens in a new tab).

Digitally signed transcript of records and study certificate

You can download your official digitally signed transcript of records and / or study certificate from Atomi in Peppi. You can find Atomi in the top navigation after you log in to Peppi.

Before you open Atomi, make sure you have selected the correct study right under your name in the top right corner (for example, your Bachelor’s or Master’s study right). Then open Atomi and download the document. If you need documents for more than one study right, download them separately.

The documents are provided as PDF files with a digital signature that confirms their authenticity and integrity. They are available in Finnish and English. You can save the PDF file and forward it, for example as an email attachment.

Digitally signed PDF documents are official only in digital form, not as paper printouts. If the file is modified, the digital signature becomes invalid.

Digital signatures are increasingly replacing handwritten signatures and stamps. Digitally signed documents should be accepted in situations where signed and stamped paper documents have previously been required.

How to verify the digital signature

You can verify the digital signature:

using Atomi Validator, or
in Adobe Acrobat Reader (signature validation).
