Enrolment

When enrolling, follow the deadlines set by your general upper secondary school. Enrolment for the spring examination must be completed no later than 1 December, and for the autumn examination no later than 5 June. Enrolment is always binding.

Enrolment details must be submitted in writing to the principal in a manner approved by the school. Check that your details are correct. Your school may use an electronic enrolment system for the examination; ask your school how the enrolment information should be submitted.

If you have already completed the Matriculation Examination and wish to retake tests or supplement your examination with new tests, you should primarily enrol at your former school. If that school no longer exists, enrol at another school in the same municipality or at the school closest to your place of residence.

Enrolment is binding. You cannot later change your choices regarding subject combinations or the level of an examination. You may apply for changes to your enrolment details if you have an illness or another particularly compelling reason. Late enrolments may be accepted by the Matriculation Examination Board only for particularly compelling reasons. You may withdraw your enrolment in writing, once approved by the principal, no later than 1 December for the spring examination and 5 June for the autumn examination.
