University of Helsinki
Most of you exchange and visiting students are probably soon heading home and we would like to thank you for sharing this experience with us!
Below you will find important information on what to do before you leave:
- Check your transcript through WebOodi. Your University of Helsinki username usually works until the end of July.
- If all of your credits have already been registered before you leave, you can collect your transcript at the Student Services.
- If you are still missing credits on the transcript you can order your transcript after you have returned home and all your courses are registered in WebOodi. To order: 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).
- UH will send one copy of the official transcript to you free of charge. For additional transcripts you need to pay a fee. More information regarding the fees is available here.
- Return a copy of the transcript to your home university’s international office according to their instructions.
- 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.
- Erasmus Students: If you need a signature and stamp for your Erasmus departure certificate, you will get it 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 departure certificate signed and stamped at the Student Services desk number 8 (University Main Building, Fabianinkatu 33, 1st floor) on 15.12.2014 at 10-15 and 19.2014 at 10-15 OR at other times at the International Exchange Services (University Main Building). For contact information and opening hours, please see here.
We wish that you have enjoyed your studies and student life here in Helsinki and return home with a backpack full of knowledge and great memories!
We also hope that you will tell your fellow students at your home university about your stay in Helsinki. With this you can encourage someone else to come to Helsinki as an exchange student!
Remember also to give us feedback about your stay and read what other students have to say about their study experience at UH!
