The rectification procedure on the assessment of a study attainment consists of two stages.
1. The student submits a rectification request to the teacher in charge of the course:
A student dissatisfied with the assessment of a study attainment may lodge a rectification request orally or in writing with the teacher responsible for the assessment of the course within fourteen (14) days of receiving a notification of the result of the assessment and the application of the assessment criteria.
The rectification request is submitted directly to the teacher in charge of the course by sending an email to the teacher, also informing the teacher at this point whether the student agrees to an e-notification of the teacher’s decision. If the student agrees, they will be informed of the teacher’s decision to their UEF email. If the teacher is not available (e.g. a long notice of absence in their email), the rectification request can be submitted to the UEF Registry Office by email at kirjaamo@uef.fi or by post to: Registry Office of the University of Eastern Finland, Box 1627, 70211 KUOPIO. NB! The rectification request must state for which course rectification is required.
The teacher in charge must respond to the rectification request within fourteen (14) days of it being submitted. If the teacher does not rectify the assessment as requested by the student, the teacher who completed the assessment must make a written decision on the matter. Instructions for drafting a decision may be obtained from the UEF Board of Appeal, by email at muutoksenhakulautakunta@uef.fi.
2. The student submits a rectification request against the teacher’s decision to UEF the Board of Appeal:
The student may request rectification of the teacher’s decision from the University’s Board of Appeal within fourteen (14) days of receiving a notification of the decision. The Board of Appeal cannot process an appeal unless the applicant has received a decision from the teacher of their first-stage rectification request.
The rectification request must be submitted to the UEF Registry Office by email at kirjaamo@uef.fi or by post to: Registry Office of the University of Eastern Finland, Box 1627, 70211 KUOPIO.
The decision of the Board of Appeal is not subject to appeal.
