Enrolling as present or absent for the academic year

After confirming the study place you must enroll as present or absent for the academic year.

  • If you are an EU/EEA student, you can enroll for the academic year on the Studyinfo website or by sending an e-mail to the Admissions Office (admissions@samk.fi) by the enrollment deadline.
  • If you are a non-EU/EEA student, you can enroll as present by paying the tuition fee. The tuition fee payment instructions are sent to you with the same email with the acceptance letter. After paying the tuition fee, please send the receipt of the payment to admissions@samk.fi by the deadline.

    We will send you a study certificate only after the payment has reached SAMK’s bank account. Usually, it takes couple of weeks for the payment to reach SAMK’s bank account from a foreign bank. The study place is officially confirmed when we have received and processed your payment.

According to the Polytechnic act, 1st year student can only enroll as absent, if they are:

  • carrying out military service, civilian service or voluntary military service according to Finnish legislation,
  • on maternity, paternity or parental leave or
  • unable to start one’s studies due to sickness or injury.

If you are enrolling as absent, you are required to provide a document stating the statutory reason for your absence. The document must be sent to admissions@samk.fi by the enrollment deadline.

If you do not enroll for the academic year by the deadline, you will be registered as resigned from SAMK on the first day of your study right time.
