• Take the following documents with you: passport or other official identification card, Letter of Confirmation from Tampere University and residence permit (if you have one), plus photocopies of all above
• The registration is free of charge
• NB! Your exchange study period will not be completed if you don’t provide us with the code.
• If you already obtained the code, please remember to pick it up from the Student Affairs Office before you leave Tampere
