Resignation from studies

Resignation

Accepting a study place is always binding, but students can resign from the University of Applied Sciences at any time of the academic year.

The way you end your studies affects whether you can apply to regain your student right later:

• You withdraw using the Resignation form:launch
  Your resignation will be recorded as taking place on the date you submitted the form. You cannot apply to regain your degree student right later. This means that if you want to continue your studies later, you cannot regain the student right that you are giving up now. You can continue your studies later only by applying again through the Joint Application or by continuing your studies through SAMK Open University. Please note that you can study through SAMK Open University only if you are not required to pay tuition fees.
• You do not submit the resignation form and do not enrol for the next academic year:
  If you do not submit the Resignation form but choose not to enrol for the next academic year, you will automatically be recorded as having resigned at the end of the academic year. If you are recorded as having resigned in this way, you can apply to regain your current student right within five years of the resignation.
  

If you are unable to log in to the Resignation form, you can send a Notice of Resignation via email to ilmoittautuminen@samk.fimail.

If you need a Certificate of Resignation and Transcript of Records, please mention it in your Notice of Resignation. If you only need a Transcript of Records and can log in to Peppilaunch, you can also save the Transcript of Records directly from Peppi before resigning. To download a Transcript of Records, click on the “Atomi” banner on the top menu in Peppi.
