Individual arrangements in the entrance exam

If an applicant is in need of individual arrangements during the entrance examinations at Novia University of Applied Sciences (for example, due to dyslexia or another disability), they should submit a written application by post or email to the Admissions Services no later than xx.xx.2027 at 3 pm Finnish time. (Date will be published later)

  • Admissions Services at Novia UAS, PB 6, 65201 Vaasa, Finland
  • admissions@novia.fi (to protect your personal data, please use our secure email service: securemail.novia.fi)
     

Please attach copies of attestations that support your application (e.g. medical certificate or equivalent statement on the nature of your disease or disability, or certificate on dyslexia or learning difficulty). If it is written on another language than Finnish, Swedish or English, the applicant has to provide, in addition to the original attestation or statement, a translated copy of the document with an authorized translator’s name, signature and stamp.

Those who request support measures, such as additional time, on the grounds of dyslexia have to attach a statement of a trained special needs teacher, an expert psychologist, speech therapist or specialist medical doctor (e.g. child neurologist, neurologist or phoniatrician). The statement shall indicate that you need support measures for taking the exam due to dyslexia. The UAS may accept an equivalent decision made by The Finnish Matriculation Examination Board if it contains the granted support measures.

The validity of statements is assessed on a case-by-case basis depending on the persistence of disability, disease or learning difficulty. For dyslexia, only statements that have been obtained at the age of 16 or later are considered.

The applicant will be notified of the arrangements that can be made by the University of Applied Sciences.
