Accepting a study place
An acceptance letter does not yet mean the place is yours. You must accept the place by the deadline, and in higher education you then still need to register as attending or non-attending. This guide tells you what to do and in which order.
You will need
- Online banking codes for logging in to Opintopolku
- The acceptance message in your email
- Your institution's registration instructions
- A calendar for deadlines
