Why would you need to apply for reinstating your study right?
You need to apply to reinstating your study right (Bachelor’s, Master’s or doctoral student) if you have lost it for one of the following reasons:
- you did not register as present or absent during the registration period
- you are a first-year student, you registered as absent, but you did not submit documents proving your statutory for absence by the deadline
- you are required to pay a tuition fee, but you did not pay it by the deadline
If more than a year has passed since your last registration
If more than a year has passed since your last registration (present/absent), Student and Learning Services will consult your faculty before reinstating your study right. In this situation, you must also update your personal study plan. Update your plan with your study coordinator (HOPS guidance) before you apply. You can find contact details in UEF Connect (opens in a new tab).
If your study right has ended (extension required before reinstatement)
If your study right has ended, you must first apply for an extension to your study right. Apply to reinstate your study right only after the extension has been granted.
When you do not need to apply for reinstatement (in connection with an extension)
Please note: If your study right was active in the previous semester and you registered correctly as present or absent for that semester, you only need to apply for reinstatement if you do not register for the following semester within the registration period. For example:
- If your study right ended on 31 July, you are granted an extension, and you register for the autumn semester within the registration period by 15 September, you do not need to apply for reinstatement.
- If your study right ended on 31 December, you are granted an extension, and you register for the spring semester within the registration period by 15 January, you do not need to apply for reinstatement.
How to apply (step by step)
- Pay the handling fee (€50). Payment instructions are provided on the application form
- Complete the online application form and attach the receipt
- When applying, use the same form to register as present or absent.
Handling fee
- The handling fee is €50.
- If you apply at the same time for both reinstating your study right and an extension to your study right, you will be charged only one handling fee (€50). See the form for details.
- The handling fee is set out in the Government Decree on Fees for University Services 1082/2009.
Please note: Payments are not refunded. The University will issue a refund only if the application and payment were made due to reasons attributable to the University.
Registration and the student union membership fee
- If you register as present as a Bachelor’s or Master’s student, you must also pay the student union membership fee. Payment details are on the form.
- For doctoral students, the student union membership fee is optional and the amount differs from the Bachelor’s/Master’s fee. If you are a doctoral student and wish to pay the fee, please contact Student and Learning Services’ Customer Service (contact details at the bottom of the page).
Changing your registration (present/absent)
Please note: If you are registered as absent and you want to change your registration to present, you do not need to apply for reinstatement. Please check Peppi for your attendance data before you apply for reinstatement. You only need to apply for reinstatement if you have not registered at all during the registration period, not as present or absent. If you wish to change your registration from absent to present, contact Student and Learning Services’ Customer Service (contact details below).
- You can change your registration from present to absent only during the registration periods.
- You cannot change the registration status of a semester that has already ended.
Registration is per study right (Peppi)
Please note: You must register as present or absent for each active study right in the Oili registration service during the registration period. If you register for all your active rights to study, you will not lose your study rightand will not need to apply for reinstatement.
Reinstating several rights to study with one application
You can reinstate several rights to study at the same time with one application and one handling fee payment. You do not need to pay separately for each study right if they are reinstated at the same time.
On the application form, specify:
- which rights to study you want to reinstate, and
- whether you are registering as present or absent for each study right
Instructions for annual registration
You can find the instructions for annual registration in Kamu.
Application form: reinstating your study right
Apply using the online application form for reinstating your study right (opens in a new tab). You do not need to log in with your UEF username and password to complete the form.
The form does not transfer information directly to Peppi. A staff member from Student and Learning Services will process your application. You will receive a confirmation by email once your study right has been reinstated. Your UEF user account usually starts working within one day after the confirmation email has been sent.
If you cannot use the online form, contact Student and Learning Services’ Customer Service. If necessary, they can provide a paper form.
