Adding previously completed studies: After adding a place of performance, you can add information about your previously completed studies to the application. First, select ’Add previously completed study’.

1. Start by selecting inclusion as the type of credit transfer you are applying for. Select the RPL processor. You can find The RPL processors at Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) | University of Lapland (ulapland.fi).
2. Next, click Add Study or Add Study You can also import information about the studies you have completed to the application via the Emrex service.

   • Scope and type of scope
   • Language of instruction
   • Assessment
   • Place of performance
   • Completion date
   • Justifications: for example, why you want to include these studies in your degree.

At this stage, pay special attention to the spelling of the studies’ names. An official English translation is also required. If the translation is not visible on the transcript of records, you may found the translation in the study guide of the institution in question. If you cannot find an official translation, please re-enter the name in the original language in the ‘English’ section. Note the spelling of the English names of studies; the first letters are usually capitalised, e.g. ‘Encountering and Instructing a Child with Special Needs’.

If the original name of the studies you have completed is in a language other than Finnish, please do not translate the name into the ‘Finnish’ field. In this case, enter a name in the field as it is written in the certificate you received for your previous studies, e.g. in English.

The information you enter here will appear on your transcript of records/degree certificate/diploma as you have typed it.
