Registration

Registration for the academic year

Degree students must register as either present or absent before the start of every academic year, otherwise they will be dropped from the study register.

Degree students must register as present in order to be able to take part in classes and examinations as well as to be able to graduate. In order to be able to study at another university through the JOO agreement, a student must be registered as present at their home university.

Students going abroad as exchange students to one of Hanken's partner universities must also register as present for the period of their exchange. Students going abroad as freemovers can choose if they want to register as present or as absent for the period of their stay abroad.

Students who are registered as absent do not have the right to take part in classes or examinations.

The right to use Hanken's computer systems will be withdrawn seven days after graduation.

Please note that you must be registered as present for at least the autumn semester if you wish to participate in an exam or sign up for a course after 1 August. Similarly, in order to be able to sit an exam or sign up for a course after 1 January, you must be registered as present for the spring semester.

You must register as present or absent for the academic year by 31 August,at 4.15 p.m., at the latest.

You must always show your student ID card with the yearly sticker when taking part in examinations and when needing a certificate of any kind.
