Some of you exchange students are soon heading home and there are a few things we would like you to remember 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 July. 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 (University Main Building, Fabianinkatu 33, 1st floor) on Tue 28.05.2013 at 13-15 and Thu 30.05.2013 at 10-12
    • On other times you can find International Exchange Services at University Main Building, Fabianinkatu 33, 1st floor, Office hours: Mon-Thu 10-15, but please note that there will be some exceptions:
      • 17 June – 27 June: Mon-Thu, open 11-13
      • 1 July -16 August: closed

We have enjoyed having you here, and we wish you a safe trip back home. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Finland!
