2. Student counselling, support and well-being 

2.1. Counselling 

The counselling offered at Haaga campus aims at supporting the students 

in their professional growth and self-direction during the different stages 

of their studies. Counselling is most active in the following stages of the 

studies: 

- Before the beginning of the studies 

counselling aims at giving students information on what to select and to 

creating a clear picture of the future studies 

- Initial stage of studies 

counselling includes orientation, introducing to the different support 

services and the principles of trasferring credits from other educational 

institutes. 

- Later stage of the studies 

counselling focuses on monitoring the progress of the studies, student 

feedback, advancing studies where problems of combining part-time work 

with studies is concerned, pre-empting interruptions and the prolonging of 

studies, and monitoring the number of students registering as absent. 

- Final stage before graduation 

supervising the writing of the thesis and counselling connected to 

graduation, cooperation with HAAGA-HELIA Alumni, working life and 

possible further studies. 

2.2 Student Tutoring 

Tutoring is fun, you meet a lot of new people and you gain valuable 

experience on performing and group leadership. When you have fi nished 

you career as a tutor, you can get three credits for your activity. Student 

Union HELGA recruits new tutors twice a year, in September and in 

February. Ask your own tutor for more information or check out the 

information on HELGA’s website www.helga.fi /en (>helga > sectors > 

tutoring). 

Peer tutors 

Peer tutors welcome new students to our school and show them how 

things work in their own degree programme. Peer tutors’ most important 

task is to introduce the new students to the new environment and study 

culture at HAAGA-HELIA. Even though the main emphasis of peer tutoring 

is in the beginning of the studies, tutors help the students also later on 

during their studies. HELGA peer tutors work closely together with the 

academic advisors of their own degree programme. In addition to tutoring 

new students, peer tutors participate in the marketing of HAAGA-HELIA. 

ESN-HELGA tutor 

ESN-HELGA tutors welcome exchange students to our school and introduce 

them the new culture and habits of the new country. HAAGA-HELIA has 

about 300 incoming exchange students every year and each of them have 

their own tutor. ESN-HELGA tutor is in contact with the students before 

they come to Finland. Tutor also guides them to their apartment, helps with 

practical matters and supports in getting to know the new environment. 

ESN-HELGA tutors are also the busy bees organizing and participating the 

ESN-HELGA events and trips. Find more information also at ESN-HELGA

3. Studying in HAAGA-HELIA 

The following chapters deal with general matters and rules in HAAGA- 

HELIA, such as academic year, attendance, course commencement and 

evaluation, Student’s Guide, timetables, communications, cheating and 

student identity number. 

3.1 Academic Year 

The academic year is divided into 5 periods. The classroom lessons 

included in the degree programmes are organized according to the 

timetables during periods 4 and 5 in the autumn and during periods 1 

and 2 in the spring. Possible summer studies take place during period 3. 

There may also be classroom lessons during the intensive weeks before or 

after a period. In addition there are other separate courses offered during 

intensive weeks (see the timetables of the intensive weeks). 

Autumn 2010 

Autumn term begins 16.8.2010 and ends 17.12.2010. 

• Autumn 2010 lessons: 23.8.2010 - 17.12.2010. 

• Intensive weeks: 16. - 20.8.2010 

• 4th period: 23.8. - 15.10.2010 

• Intensive week: 18. - 22.10.2010 

• 5th period: 25.10. - 17.12.2010 

Spring 2011 

Spring term begins 3.1.2011 and ends 17.6.2011. 

• Spring 2011 lessons: 17.1.2011 - 20.5.2011.

• Intensive week: 21. - 25.3.2011 

• 2. period: 28.3. - 20.5.2011 

• Intensive weeks: 23.5. – 17.6.2011 

3.2 Attendance and Non-Attendance 

You must enrol for attendance or non-attendance each academic year. 

If you neglect to do this you will lose your right to study. If you want to 

continue your studies later in this case, you must reapply for the right to 

study. 

You can enrol for attendance for one academic year at a time by the end of 

August each year. Only those enrolled for attendance are eligible to register 

for courses and complete studies. If you are studying abroad or completing 

your work placement or thesis, you have to enrol for attendance. 

Enrolments for non-attendance are made by 27th of August (for the next 

autumn term) and/or by 7th of January (for the next spring term). 

You can enrol for non-attendance for a period of one semester, but not 

for longer than for a maximum of two academic years. If you serve in the 

military or you are on maternity, paterinity, parental, nursing or sick leave, 

you should enrol for non-attendance. Notifi cation of the reason for nonattendance 

is not required. 

You cannot register on non-attendance for a shorter time than one 

semester. E.g. if you are taking maternity/paternity leave in November, you 

must enrol for attendance for the whole autumn semester and study the 

fi rst period of the autumn semester. The fi rst non-attendance semester in 

this case is the next spring semester. 


Non-attending students 

• cannot study at HAAGA-HELIA (however are allowed to attend the reexaminatios 

for the courses held during the previous period, if these 

are held during the period of non-attendance). 

• cannot attend the work placement. 

• cannot have thesis counselling. 

• are not eligible for any fi nancial benefi ts related to studies. 

As an absent student, you will not have the right of access to HAAGA- 

HELIA IT services (user name, e-mail, WinhaWille etc.) 

3.3 Student’s Guide and Timetables 

HAAGA-HELIA Student’s Guide is published only in electronic format and is 

available at www.haaga-helia.fi /en > Student’s Guide. The online Student’s 

Guide is useful when you are planning the content and implementation of 

your studies. The guide introduces the whole educational supply of HAAGA- 

HELIA: the objectives, structures and contents of each Degree Programme 

as well as the course availilability with detailed course descriptions. The 

guide includes also the Degree Regulations there as well as information 

on the practical arrangements relating to studying. Please pay particular 

attention to the following items: 

• General information on HAAGA-HELIA 

• Studying at HAAGA-HELIA – details, rules and practices study 

• About study skills and learning – in order to succeed in your studies 

Timetables and cancelled courses are available on HAAGA-HELIA web 

pages. You can check your own group’s timetable by choosing fi rst your 

own campus and then the autumn or spring timetables, or you can fi nd 

course information on all HAAGA-HELIA courses by choosing the Excel 

timetable. Cancelled lessons are announced in student’s extranet. 

3.4 Course Codes 

Course codes consist of 9-10 symbols, for example RSS1RB001. The fi rst 3 

letters of the code tells which theme is concerned. The next number tells 

what kinds of studies are concerned: 

• 1: compulsory core studies 

• 2: compulsory professional studies 

• 3: alternative study entity 

• 4: alternative professional studies 

• 6: work placement 

• 7: thesis 

• 8: free-choice studies 

The following combination of letters, after those 4 symbols, tells to which 

degree programme course belongs, e.x. the codes for Degree Programme 

in Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management include the abbreviation 

“RB”. All degree programme abbreviations are presented in enclosure 1. 

The last 3 letters separate similar subject courses from each other in the 

same degree programme. There might be a letter at the end of the code, 

e.g. RSS1RB001A; tells that the course is a part of some other course. 

The course code can usually include an implementation number, which 

distinguishes the implementations of the same course from each others 

e.g. RSS1RB001A-2 and RSS1RB001A-3. 

3.5 Cheating in Studies 

Cheating in studies, such as cheating in examinations, copying assignments 

from another person, copying an assignment directly from a source, 

or such other corresponding forms of dishonesty, are strictly forbidden 

at HAAGA-HELIA. In these cases study achievements for the course in

question will be cancelled and no re-examinations are allowed Cases of 

cheating are always recorded in the student’s study register. 

When needed the texts written by the student may be checked through 

Urkund, a web based service which helps to detect and deter plagiarism. 

3.6 Course Enrolments 

Students are accepted for the courses in accordance with the Degree 

Regulations. You must enrol for the courses during the pre-selection or 

post-selection by using the WinhaWille system. A one-week pre-selection 

period is usually at the end of each term. A longer post-selection period 

follows the pre-selection. Please, note that the regulations to be accepted 

on a course differ during the pre- and post-selection. 

After the pre-selection, some of the courses can be full and others 

cancelled if there is not enough participants. Enrol only for those courses 

in which you are going to participate. The degree programme manager 

decides on implemented courses. 

Enrolment for a course is offi cially confi rmed by attending the fi rst lesson of 

the course. If you are absent from the fi rst lesson you will lose your course 

place even though you have enrolled in time. The place will be given to a 

student who is present. If you are anot able to attend to fi rst lesson, you 

must contact the teacher in advance and give the reason for your absence 

and express your willingness to attend the course. 

You are informed of the acceptance for the courses through WinhaWille. In 

Personal Study Plan (PSP) the Participations section includes a list of the 

courses in which your enrolment has been accepted and the Enrolments 

section includes those courses in which your enrolment has not been 

accepted. 

3.7 Course Assessment 

You should study actively right from the beginning of the course and 

complete the given assignments in time to ensure your learning. Familiarize 

yourself with the HAAGA-HELIA Degree Regulations. 

If you fail an exam during a course, you have two opportunities to try 

again. If you fail also the second re-examination, all earlier study credits 

related to that course are cancelled. Subsequently, the only possibility to 

pass the course concerned is to enrol again for the course and repeat all 

required assignments and exams. Teachers are responsible for informing 

their students of the examination results three weeks from the date the 

course ended or the re-examination was taken. 

The teachers must archive the student’s assessed written assignments and 

exams for six months after giving the grades. If you are dissatisfi ed with 

your grade acontact the teacher as soon as possible as after six months he/ 

she does not necessarily have your materials anymore. According to the 

Law concerning University of Applied Sciences, you must ask for the adjustment 

to the grade within 14 days after you have received the information 

about your grade. 

You must check your grades regularly for being able to retake or complete 

the courses failed in due time. 


3.8 Student Number 

HAAGA-HELIA has about 10,500 students and there might be two people 

with the same fi rst and last name. To make sure that students will be 

evaluated correctly, you must write your name and student number in all
