In the School of Vocational Teacher Education, you will not need to apply for graduation. Instead, when you have completed your studies, your tutor will inform the Study Services that you are ready for graduation on the next possible graduation date. Graduation certificates are signed usually twice a month: around mid-month and end-of-month (excluding eg. August, December and June, and no graduation dates in July). However, most students graduate on the graduation ceremony date in May.
If the student would like to graduate at mid-month, the tutor should send the request for the certificate by the beginning of the month. If the student would like to graduate at end-of-month, the tutor should send the request for the certificate by mid-month (the exact deadlines are available from your tutor / study services). Please make sure to contact your tutor for a more detailed schedule for finalizing your studies.
On the graduation date, your certificate will be sent by post by the Study Services to your address in Peppi. Upon request beforehand, the certificate can also be collected from the Info Desk at Pasila campus (ID needed).
Graduation dates in the autumn semester 2023: 31 August, 15 and 29 September, 13 and 31 October, 15 and 30 November and 20 December.
Graduation dates in the spring semester 2024: 15 and 31 January, 15 and 29 February, 15 and 28 March, 15 and 30 April, 15 and 31 May and 18 June.
When you graduate or your study right ends for some other reason, your network account for the systems of Haaga-Helia will be deleted approximately within one month. Please copy the important documents from your e-mail and your home directory before that. The access to courses in Moodle and functions in Peppi ceases already on your graduation date.
