Toteutuksen tärkeät päivämäärät

The actual contact schedule is directly visible to students in Pakki as implementation reservations.
The dates of the submission of assignments, exams and opportunities to retake examinations in the implementation can be found from Canvas.

According to the degree regulations (section 18) “students must be present in the first contact session or notify their teacher in charge if they cannot attend. If they fail to notify the teacher of their absence in the first contact session, their enrollment will be rejected. Another student in the queue may be enrolled in the study unit in the place of the absent student.” (Laurea degree regulations) In the case of online studies the lecturer can also specify some other way than participation on an online meeting what is required from the student so that he/she verifies his/her attendance on the study unit (Decision by the vice president, education 7/2019).

“Students who have failed assignments or examinations required for passing a study unit must supplement or retake their study attainment in a manner and schedule defined by the teacher of the study unit. A failed examination or other study attainment can be retaken twice. A failure to attend an actual examination is considered to be one completion attempt.” (Laurea degree regulations.)
