The rectification procedure on the recognition of prior learning consists of two stages.
1. Rectification of a decision on the recognition of prior learning may be requested from the person who made the decision. The rectification request must be submitted within fourteen (14) days of receiving the notification of the decision.
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. The student will be asked to give their consent to e-services at this point and if they agree, they will be notified of the decision to their UEF email.
2. The person who made the decision on the recognition of prior learning prepares a written decision on the rectification request, and notifies the student who appealed for rectification as well as the Registry Office. Instructions for drafting a decision may be obtained from the UEF Board of Appeal, by email at muutoksenhakulautakunta@uef.fi.
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 to the Board of Appeal 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.
