Points awarded for school performance
Applicants who are applying on the basis of their Finnish upper secondary school leaving certificate and the Finnish matriculation examination certificate are awarded points for school performance.
Applicants who will participate in the matriculation examination in spring 2012 mark their grades to the application form from their latest certificate/transcript of records. Applicants must inform the final grades and grade point average at the latest 18 of May 2012 by email to their first choice UAS/polytechnic admissions office. The UAS/polytechnics will receive results of the matriculation examination directly from the Matriculation Examination Board but applicants themselves must inform the final grade point average.
Applicants who are completing their IB-examination at a Finnish upper secondary school or an applicant completing the European Baccalaureate examination in the spring 2012 apply with their Predicted Grades. These applicants must provide a copy of their Predicted Grades to the admissions office of their first preference by 18 May 2012. Applicants that are completing their Reifeprüfung-examination in the spring 2012 must provide a copy of the final certificate no later than 18 May 2012. Applicants that are completing their European Baccalaureate examination in the spring 2012 must provide a copy of the temporary certificate no later than 18 May 2012. The admission of an applicant who is completing their European Baccalaureate examination or their IB-examination in a Finnish upper secondary school during application process is conditional until the applicant’s final certificate has been checked.
