Transcript of records

To get a transcript after the exchange period, exchange/visiting students must fill in a transcript order form on the website of the University. The filled form should be printed out and returned to the Registrar’s Office. The transcript of your academic records will be sent to the address in your home country which you have given on the transcript order form (pdf).

The Registrar`s Office will send your transcript to you free of charge as soon as all your credits have been registered. If you wish to have the transcript before you leave, you can get it from the Registrar`s Office. You can also get an unofficial transcript free of charge from the NettiOpsu.

More information on the transcript of records at the University of Tampere

Certificates and confirmations

Many of exchange/visiting students have different kinds of certificates, confirmations or forms from the home university which must be signed and stamped either by the host unit or by the International Office (Centre for International Education). Remember to take care of all certificates already some days before you leave since it might take 1-2 days to get the signatures/stamps from the people in question.

If you are an Erasmus student, you should ask the international adviser of your host unit to sign your Learning Agreement after you have passed the planned courses. To get the Institutional Coordinator’s signature, bring your Learning Agreement to the International Office (Centre for International Education). Please allow a couple of days for the process.

TOAS flats

For exchange students, TOAS sign a tenancy contract for a specific length of time. The contract ends when the Finnish semester ends and it can not be terminated in the middle of the specified time.

PLEASE, remember to leave your flat in clean and good condition and pay all rents due. It is important to maintain good relations with Toas since there will be new foreign students coming to Tampere the following semester and they also hope to get rooms from TOAS.

Separate key cards for the computer rooms

Those of you who have received a separate key card from the Computer Centre against a deposit of 20,00 EUR, please remember to return it to the User Info at the Computer Centre latest when your right to study at the University expires. See the Instructions for the use of the student's key card

Change of address

Remember to change your contact information for the Registrar’s Office (in Finnish aktuaarinkanslia) some days before you leave Tampere. You can update your personal information in NettiOpsu or you can send your home address to the Registrar’s Office by e-mail to: aktuaari (at) uta.fi. Write your name and exact home address and the day when you are leaving Tampere.

Recycling room

We want to share a green hint with you before you leave Tampere. If you have things you want to get rid of, UTA offers you an easy solution. By bringing things to the UTA recycling room, you will not only make a green move but you will also help new exchange students get started.

The recycling room is located in the UTA Main Building, E Wing, room 105. Thank you for your help!
