Electronic study documents are free of charge during the study period. You can order them from Peppi. If you need a paper document, you can get it from the Academic Affairs for students of Oamk or Study Services of Professional Teacher Education depending on your study programme.

Practices
We provide copies only on original certificates and in the same language that the certificates have been signed over for the graduate. We do not provide any translations of certificates. If you need an official translation of your certificate, you must get it translated by an official translator and you bear the costs yourself. We do not provide any translation services on any other certificates either.
The copies of certificates are given from our own archival materials. Other copy requests will be referred to other archives institutions, for example to Provincial Archives of Oulu.
Oamk certify for a true copy only certificates and transcripts of records which we have copied ourselves. Copies are given only certificates and transcripts of records which are awarded by the Oulu University of Applied Sciences. The Academic Affairs don’t certify any other copies.
We send your copies of certificates as a letter. By asking we can also send your copies of certificates as an encrypted email.
