Appeal process in student selection

Appeal can be made, if the applicant can prove satisfactorily that an error was made by the authority in the university of applied sciences (UAS) in evaluation of the applicant according to the rules and regulations of the admission process. According to the legislation in Finland, the appeal can be made within 14 days of publishing the results of student admission.

Appeal based on personal circumstances (difficult life situation, misunderstanding, health reasons) or e.g. technical errors during the application process will not be considered as valid reasons for appeal.

Student admission decision can be changed only in those cases where it is clearly shown that the UAS has not followed the student admission criteria. Therefore, the appeal must be well-grounded and it should contain accurate information on where the UAS has not followed the criteria.

If you think an error has been made in your student selection process, please first contact the Admission Services of Savonia UAS admissions@savonia.fi.
