- First verify your personal details, such as your name and date of birth, at the top of the application. If any details are incorrect, please contact Student Services to correct them before you submit the request.
- Verify your contact details. Make sure you've added a secondary e-mail address (not a hanken.fi address). You can edit the details by clicking on the Edit button next to your contact details. If your home address is outdated, go the page My profile -> Personal information, and edit your primary address there. It is unfortunately not possible to do it directly in the graduation request.
- You can leave the Additional info field empty if there is no extra information you need to add to your graduation request.
