Heading home, exchange student?

Posted on by Kaisa

Some of you exchange students are soon heading home and there are a few things we would like you to remember before you leave Helsinki.

  • Collect your Transcript of records before you leave. If all of your credits have already been registered, you can go to the Student Services to get your Transcript straight away.
  • You can get one transcript free of charge. For additional transcripts you need to pay a fee. More information regarding the fees is available here.
  • If all of your credits have not been registered before you leave Finland, you should order a transcript after you have returned home: Check your transcript through WebOodi. Your University of Helsinki user-id usually works until the end of January. Once all your courses are registered to WebOodi, send an e-mail to studentinfo(at)helsinki.fi stating: your student number, your mail address, i.e. your postal address and the language in which you want the transcript (Finnish/Swedish/English)
  • Your credits will remain in the student register of the University of Helsinki in case you need a transcript later on. Information on how to obtain a transcript and the fees are available here.
  • If you need a signature and stamp for your Erasmus departure certificate, you can get it stamped and signed at the International Exchange Services office. UH does not have its own departure certificates, so if your university did not give you any forms to sign, the Transcript is all you need.  Please note that “end of stay” -date is the day you pick up the certificate or maximum three days after that.
    • You can have your Erasmus departure certificate signed and stamped at the Student Services desk number 8 (University Main Building, Fabianinkatu 33, 1st floor) on Mon 16.12.2013, Tue 17.12.2013, Wed 18.12.2013 at 12-14. If you can’t make it during these times, you can also have your Erasmus departure certificate signed and stamped at the International Exchange Services (University Main Building, Fabianinkatu 33, 1st floor), Office hours: Mon-Thu 10-15.
    • Please note that from 23.12.2013 to 10.1.2014 the office will not be open.

Hopefully you have enjoyed your exchange at the University of Helsinki as much as we have enjoyed having you here. We wish you a safe trip back home and enjoy the rest of your stay in Finland!
