Extending the degree study period
According to the UT Study Regulations, full-time students can apply for an extension of studies to eliminate academic lagging. This means that the final date of the study period can be postponed for up to 12 months so that the student can make up for insufficient academic progress. Part-time students can extend studies by up to the length of time spent studying part-time.
The application of extension must be submitted before the end date of study arrives:
- Faculty of Arts and Humanities: Dean’s Office, [email protected]
- Faculty of Social Sciences: student adviser dealing with the curriculum
- Faculty of Medicine: Dean’s Office, [email protected]
- Faculty of Science and Technology: Dean’s Office, [email protected]
Students following a part-time curriculum where the planned study period exceeds the standard period of study do not have to submit an application to extend their studies during the planned period of study. The planned period of study is agreed upon in the contract for reimbursement of study costs. Please note that this does not apply to students of full-time curricula who have taken up part-time studies or dropped to part-time studies. They will still need to submit an application to extend their studies.
Before the study period can be extended, the percentage completion of the curriculum is assessed. Based on this, the student will be transferred to the extension year either as a full-time or part-time student. The study load cannot be changed during the extension period.
The nominal period of study will be extended by the semesters spent at a foreign university if the student has completed the courses at the foreign university to a value of at least 15 ECTS per semester. The nominal period of study is extended after returning from the foreign university.
The nominal period of study for students who were assigned intensive Estionian learning will be extended pursuant to the volume of language learning. The extension will occur at the end of the initial nominal period of study.
NB! If you take academic leave during the extension, you must submit an application to continue the extension before academic leave ends.
You can extend your TRP for studies beyond the nominal duration of your study programme only in limited study-related circumstances that prevent you from graduating on time. For example, if you complete an intensive Estonian language programme (60 ECTS) during your first year of studies, you may be eligible to apply for a TRP extension.
However, studying abroad or taking academic leave that results in an extension of your studies is not considered a valid reason for extending your TRP.
Please note that after your TRP expires on its validity date, you may legally remain in Estonia for up to 270 days (9 months) to complete your studies or make other necessary arrangements. If you are unable to graduate within this additional 270-day period, you must apply for a D visa to remain in Estonia legally until your graduation.
The University must issue an invitation letter (invitation by educational institution) to the Police and Border Guard Board (PBGB) to support your application. To request the invitation letter, please complete the UT form. Once the form has been submitted, the University will send the invitation letter directly to the PBGB.
You may also apply for an extension by email if you provided your fingerprints within the last six years and have a valid residence permit card that allows you to digitally sign the application form.
