Enrollments for Study Unit Implementations
Each student who wants to participate in a particular study period must register for the study period through PAKKI system
The teacher accepts or rejects enrollments in Peppi for their own implementations after the enrollment period has ended. With nonstop implementations, enrollments can be accepted as soon as the registration period begins.
With the approval of the teacher, the student will be able to give Spark feedback with implementations in which he/she participates. For cross-institutional students (outside Vaasa UAS), the right to study is formed when the teacher has approved the enrollments.
The enrollment times for the implementations are determined in the schedule of the academic year (for groups of degree students). The enrollment times for continuous learning are determined separately and in accordance with the annual clock.
Student’s enrollment is a prerequisite for completing the course.
Common processing rules at Vaasa UAS (VAMK)
If the student has Enrolled for the wrong implementation
- Student enrollment will be rejected
- This allows the student to enroll in other implementations of the same course, but not for the implementation for which enrollment was rejected.
- If a student is removed from the implementation, he/she can also re-enrol for the same course.
- The student can also cancel the enrollment on the student’s desktop if there is time left and the teacher has not yet approved the registration.
The student has completed all the studies required for the degree
- Enrollment is rejected (degree regulations)
The student has submitted a graduation application
- Enrollment is rejected (degree regulations)
The student has registered as absent for the semester during which the implementation takes place
- Enrollment is rejected (degree regulations)
The student has already successfully completed the course
- Enrollment is rejected (degree regulations)
The learning requirements/basic knowledge specified separately for the course are not met
- Enrollment is rejected
If the student has not participated in teaching or has not completed any assignments (assignments, exams, etc.) during the implementation
- Student’s enrolment will be rejected
If the student has started the implementation and completed the assignments partially, but left it unfinished
- Implementation evaluation will be marked as rejected
The teacher determines (in the competence and evaluation criteria of the course) whether it is possible for a student who is late to enrol to participate in teaching after the implementation has already begun.
On the basis of the above-mentioned criteria, the teacher communicates the method of completion and attendance obligations to the students approved for the implementation. For example, whether the student must be present at the first contact to confirm registration.
If the number of participants specified for the implementation is full, priority will be given to additional registrations:
- Students for whose group the implementation is intended
- Students for whom the course is defined as compulsory in the curriculum (degree students, open path students)
- Other in order of enrollment
General information
- The numbers of failed retake and increase in approved attainment are based on the degree regulations (mandatory).
- Cross-institutional students must register for the implementations using the cross-institutional study service (on the home university student’s desktop) Students who are late in enrolment must contact the higher education institution organising the studies and find out whether it is possible to continue enrollment.
- As a rule, degree students and Open UAS path students enroll for the implementations themselves on the student’s desktop (PAKKI) during the registration periods.
The requirement for the student to assume professional specialisation studies is the completion of the study periods of the first study year. In Business economics the professional specialisation studies commence on the second year of study, in Technology in the third. Within the field of Health and social services, the professional basic studies must be entirely completed prior to starting professional specialisation studies.
The studies are planned and delivered in study periods that form the basic unit with studies. Study periods are credited with ECTS credits, cr. One ECTS credit is equivalent to about 27 hours of student work. This can consist of contact lessons, online learning, group work, independent study, preparation for exams, exams, etc.
The polytechnic degree includes a Thesis study unit, the scope of which is 15 credits and objective is to develop and demonstrate the student’s readiness to utilise their knowledge and skills in professional studies and in tasks of an expert in the field of study. The scope of the thesis in the higher polytechnic degree is 30 credits. The Thesis study unit comprises the selection of the topic, acquiring the required knowledge and skills, drawing up and implementing the thesis plan, participation in the thesis seminars, reporting, presentation of the thesis and assessment of the thesis. A maturity test is also written on the topic of the thesis. More information concerning thesis can be found in the following address:
In addition to the basic teaching that is included in the study period, additional teaching can be offered for those students that encounter exceptionally great difficulties in meeting the minimum requirements as set in the curriculum for the degree programme. Initiation for arranging the remedial teaching can be made by either the student or the teacher. The quantity of additional teaching is sorted out in each case separately. The permission for providing additional teaching is applied from the Dean by using the relevant form, available from Study Affairs office and the web page.
JOO – studies offers VAMK -students a possibility for studying certain subjects in other universities colleges located in Vaasa. Instructions for applying the right for studies can be found in the following address
