Credits

The Finnish national credit allocation and accumulation system is equivalent to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). This means that credits (opintopiste) are the same as those in the ECTS. One year of full-time studies requires about 1600 hours of work and corresponds to 60 credits (30 credits per semester). Lectures, exercises, seminars, independent studies as well as examinations have been included in this estimate of required work load of a student.

Grades

Grading of courses at the University of Eastern Finland follows two basic practices: 1) Pass or Fail, or 2) applying a numerical scale with grading from 0-5 (maximum) for passed courses.

The performance (exams and assignments) of each student is compared to the goals of the course. If you want to discuss the principles of grading, please do so at the beginning of the course. Questions concerning credits should be directed to the contact person named in the course description or to the instructor of the course at the first meeting.

Transcript of Academic Record

The studies completed at UEF will be saved in the Peppi study register. A Transcript of Academic Record is the document listing all the courses the student has completed at UEF. Please note that failed or other non-completed courses are not shown in the UEF transcript. The student can use Atomi in Peppi (opens in a new tab) for checking the completed courses and getting a digitally signed transcript of records (opens in a new tab). Please note that the digitally signed documents are official only in their digital form and not as paper-printed copies. If you need an official paper version of your transcript of records with a signature and a stamp, please contact Student and Learning Services  (opens in a new tab).

Exchange students will be able to access Peppi for 4 months after their study right is finished. During that time they will be able to get the digitally signed Transcript of Records from Atomi in Peppi. If you need an official paper version of your transcript of records with a signature and a stamp, please contact Student and Learning Services  (opens in a new tab). 

Degree students who have completed all the required courses, the thesis and the maturity test are required to fill out a certificate application form and return it to the faculty office. Further information about degree certificates and graduation (opens in a new tab) can be obtained from the faculties.
