Students' rights

Student rights are written down in several rules and statutes. Here we have put together a comprehensive list of the rights of students and the procedures related to them.

If you believe your rights have been violated, it is best to first discuss with the persons involved, for example the teacher of the course. You can ask a specialist from OYY (help@oyy.fi) to join this discussion if you want. If you are unsure about your situation, contact the specialist, who can tell you if the proceedings have gone according to the laws and regulations the University abides by. You can contact the Specialists via help@oyy.fi.

Legal protection issues are handled on a case-by-case basis, and so it’s often unclear to the student whether their treatment was fair and just. If your rights have been violated, you might be entitled to a judicial review or retrification for the decision. The specialists of OYY can give you advice on how to proceed with the handling of the issue, and if need be, they will back you up in solving the situation.
